Abstract

Using the fact that effective wireless range decreases in inverse function of local traffic density, we show that a variable traffic density impacts the curvature of paths in a dense wireless ad hoc network the same way a variable optical density bends light paths. We set up the general laws that paths must satisfy in presence of traffic flow density. We give some example of tractable network traffic topologies.
