Interference Statistics of a Poisson Field of Interferers With Random Puncturing

Assume that the nodes in a wireless network are distributed according to a Poisson Point Process (PPP). This is a reasonable assumption when the movements of nodes in a mobile network are uncorrelated or when the nodes are deployed randomly (for example, in a wireless sensor network). The field of transmitters in this scenario will remain a PPP when ALOHA MAC protocol is used in the network or can be closely approximated by a PPP when other MAC protocols like CSMA is used.
