It has been observed that complex networks such as the Internet, World Wide Web, social networks, and biological systems are self-organizing in nature and exhibit some common properties such as the power law degree distribution. Recently, two models (i.e., small world and scale-free network models) have been proposed and successfully used to describe the nature of such networks. In this article we investigate whether these concepts can also be applied to cellular wireless networks, which typically do not exhibit self-organizing or scalability properties due to the limited range of the wireless nodes. Our ultimate goal is to design robust, reliable, scalable, and efficiently utilized wireless networks via self-organizing mechanisms.
