Abstract
Wireless multi-hop networks have been widely used in fields such as the internet of things, emergency communication, intelligent transportation, and environmental monitoring due to their advantages of flexibility, wide coverage, and strong robustness, and are gradually developing towards ultra-large scales. However, the problem it brings about is also prominent, that is, because each node only determines the usage of network resources according to its own needs, resulting in increased uncertainty in the utilization of network resources and an increased probability of interference between nodes, thereby reducing network throughput and increasing end-to-end delay. This paper is based on the proposed “Theory of Network Wave", focusing on the classification problem of transmission paths (referred to as “primary paths") in the theory of network wave. Four different types of primary paths are defined, and the completeness of the classification system is proven theoretically. Meanwhile, through experimental verification, the existence of four primary paths has been confirmed, indicating the completeness and correctness of the proposed classification framework. This paper provides new theoretical support for understanding and optimizing the end-to-end transmission performance of wireless multi-hop networks, especially in improving throughput and reducing delay, and offers new ideas for the design of multi-hop transmission paths in future wireless communication systems.
