 What is Stochastic Geometry ?
 Stochastic geometry is the area of mathematical
research that is aimed to provide suitable mathematical
models and appropriate statistical methods to study and
analyze random spatial patterns.

 Random point patterns or point processes are the most

basic and important of such objects, hence point
process theory is often considered to be the main sub-
field of stochastic geometry.

 Random spatial patterns are more general than random

point patterns. For example, one can model shapes in
multiple dimensions (random shape theory).
3
 What is a Random Point Process ?
 A random (spatial) point process is a set of locations,
distributed within a designated region and presumed to
have been generated by some form of stochastic
mechanism.

 A realization of a spatial point process is termed spatial

point pattern, which is a countable collection of points
or dataset giving the observed locations of things or
events (in a given dimensional space, e.g., in 2-D).

 The easiest way to visualize a 2-D point pattern is a

map of the locations, which is simply a scatterplot but
with the provision that the axes are equally scaled.

 What Stochastic Geometry is Useful For ?
 Stochastic geometry is a rich branch of applied probability with
several applications: material science, image analysis, stereology,
astronomy, biology, forestry, geology, communications, etc.

 Stochastic geometry provides answers to questions such as:

 How can one describe a (random) collection of points in one,
two, or higher dimensions ?
 How can one derive statistical properties of such a collection
of points ?
 How can one calculate statistical averages over all the possible
realizations of such a random collection ?
 How can one condition on having a point at a fixed location ?
 Given an empirical set of points, which statistical model is
likely to produce this point set ?
11
 … In Communications…?
 Point processes are used to model the (spatial) locations
of nodes (users, wireless terminals, base stations,
access points, etc.) in (wireless) networks.

 Point process models permit statements about entire

classes of (wireless) networks, instead of just about one
specific configuration of the network.

 In some cases, distributions of relevant performance

metrics over the point process can be calculated, in
others, spatial averaging is performed, which yields
expected values of certain performance metrics (e.g.,
the likelihood of transmission success).

What is a Point Process ? – Mathematical Definition

A point process is a countable random collection of points that reside

in some measure space, usually the Euclidean space  d .
For simplicity, we often consider d  2.

Notation
1. A point process is denoted by 
2. An instance (realization) of the point process is denoted by 
3. The number of points of a point process in the set A   2 is
denoted by   A 

14
 What is a Point Process ? – Mathematical Definition

Let  be the set of all sequences    2 satisfying

1. (Finite) Any bounded set A   2 contains a finite number of points
2. (Simple) xi  x j if i  j

Definition
A point process in  2 is a random variable taking values in the space 

15
 What is a Point Process ? – Mathematical Definition

A point process can be described by using two formalisms:

1. Random set formalism
2. Random measure formalism

Random set formalism

The point process is ragarded as a countable random set    x1 , x2 ,...   2
consisting of random variables xi   2 as its elements.

Random measure formalism

The point process is characterized by counting the number of points falling
in sets A   2 , i.e.,   A  . Hence   A  is a random variable that assumes
non-negative interger values.    is called (random) counting measure.
16
 Starting Point: Point Process with a Single Point

Single - Point Point Processes

1. Contains only one random point
2. The random point x is uniformly
distributed in a bounded set A

Thus, let B  A, one has

  x  B 
B
A
where A denotes the area of A.

17
 Binomial Point Process (BPP)

A BPP on a bounded set A  A   

is the superposition of Ν independent
and uniformly distributed points on
the set A.

Let B  A, then:     B   k 

18
 Equivalent Point Processes: Void Probability
Given two point processes, is there any simple approach to prove
whether they are equivalent ?

Void Probability
Let a point process . Its void probabilities over all bounded
sets A are defined as     A   0  for A   2 .

Equivalent point processes

1. A simple point process is determined by its void probabilities.
2. Two simple point processes are equivalent if they have the
same void probability distributions for all bounded sets.
19
Stationarity, Isotropy, Motion-Invariance

Stationarity
Let a point process  =  xn  .  is said to be stationary if the translated
point process  x =  xn  x has the same distribution as  for every x   2 .

Isotropy
Let a point process  =  xn  .  is said to be isotropic if the rotated point
process r = rxn  has the same distribution as  for every rotation r
about the origin.

Motion - Invariant
A point process is motion-invariant if it is stationary and isotropic.
20
Stationarity and Intensity Measure

Density  Intensity  Measure

Let a stationary point process . Its density is defined as follows:
   A 
 for every A   2
A

Remarks:
1. The density does not depend on the particular choice of the set A
2. Stationarity implies that the density is constant
3. The converse is, in general, not true: a constant density does not
imply stationarity
21
 Stationary (Homogeneous) Poisson Point Process (PPP)
 The most widely used model for the spatial locations of nodes
 Most amicable for mathematical analysis
 Considered the “Gaussian of point processes”

 No dependence between node

locations
 Random number of nodes
 Defined on the entire plane
(limiting case of a BPP)

22
 Homogeneous PPP: Formal Definition
A stationary point process  of density  is PPP if:

1. The number of points in any bounded set

A   2 has a Poisson distribution with
mean  A , i.e.

    A   k 
  A
exp   A 

2. The number of points in disjoint sets are

independent, i.e., for every A   2 and
B   2 with A  B  ,   A  and
  B  are independent

A homogeneous PPP is completely charaterized by a single number  23

Is the Density of a Homogeneous PPP Equal to λ ?

BPP vs. Homogeneous PPP
Let  be a homogeneous PPP and A   2 . Conditioned on   A  , i.e., the number
of points in A, the points themselves are independently and uniformly distributed in
A. In other words, conditioned on   A  , the points constitute a BPP in A.

 Inhomogeneous PPP – Just a Glimpse…

In homogeneous PPPs, the mean number of points per unit area does not
vary over space, i.e., they have a constant density measure .

In several applications of interest, it may make sense to consider point processes

with a location-dependent intensity function:   x  . Its interpretation is as follows:
  x  dx is the infinitesimal probability that there is a point of  in a region of
infinitesimal area dx located at x   2 .

The intensity measure of inhomogeneous PPPs is defined as follows:

  A      x  dx for any bounded set A
A

27
Inhomogeneous PPP – Just a Glimpse…
An inhomogeneous point process  of intensity function   x  is PPP if:

1. The number of points in any bounded set

A   2 has a Poisson distribution with

2. The number of points in disjoint sets are

B   2 with A  B  ,   A and
  B  are independent
28
 Inhomogeneous PPP – Just a Glimpse…

How to simulate an inhomogeneous PPP of intensity function   x  on A    L, L  ?

2

1. Assume that the intensity function is bounded by  * , i.e.,   x    * .

2. Generate a homogeneous PPP of density  * on A.
3. Sample the obtained random point pattern by deleting each point independently
of the others with probability equal to 1    x   * .

Note: The sampling can be performed with the aid of an independent sequence
 u1 , u2 ,... of random numbers uniformly distributed over 0,1. More
precisely the point xk is deleted if uk    xk   * .

 Voronoi Cell and Voronoi Tessellation: Definitions
Voronoi Cell
The Voronoi cell V  x  of a point x of a general
point process  consists of the locations whose
distance to x is not greater than their distance
from any other point of  :
V  x    y  2 : x  y  z  y z   \  x
  y  2 : x  y  y   

Voronoi Tessellation
The Voronoi tessellation or Voronoi diagram
of  is the decomposition of the space into
the Voronoi cells of . 30
 Void Probability of PPP – First Contact Distribution
Distribution of the distance of the nearest point to the origin
Let  be a homogeneous PPP of density  . The Complementary
Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF) of the distance D of
the nearest point of  to the origin is:
CCDFD  r     D  r   exp   r 2 

The Probability Density Function (PDF) of D is:

PDFD  r   2 r exp   r 2 

Proof :
Let B  o, r  be the ball of center the origin "o" and radius "r". Then:

 Displacement Theorem of (Inhomogeneous) PPP

Definition : A probability measure is a real-valued function defined on a set of

events in a probability space that satisfies measure properties, i.e., it returns
values in  0,1 and satisfies the countable additivity property.

Random Transformations of Point Processes

Let a point process  on  d . Let Ap be a bounded set in  p . Let p  x, Ap  be a
d

probability kernel from  d to  for every x   d of , i.e., a probability

dp

measure on  p .  p on  is called the transformed point process of  by the

d dp

 
probability kernel p  x, Ap    x p  Ap  , where x p  
dp
is a point of  p ,
i.e., the transformed version of x according to the probability kernel.

37
 Displacement Theorem of (Inhomogeneous) PPP

In other words,  p is obtained by randomly and independently displacing each

point of  on  d to some new locations on  according to the kernel p  x, Ap  ,
dp

which denotes the probability that the displaced version of x (i.e., x p ) lies in Ap .

Displacement Theorem  Independent displacements preserve the Poissonness

Displacement Theorem of (Inhomogeneous) PPP

Consider the (rather general) displacement x p  l p  x, Tx  , where x   and

p p

Tx are independent distributed random variables (that, however, may depend

on x) whose distribution is  Tx  t   CDFTx  t  .

If  p was a PPP, from the PGFL theorem, we would have:

 Marked Point Processes

A point process is made into a marked point process by attaching a characteristic

(a mark) to each point of the process. Thus a marked point process on  2 is a
random sequence yn   xn , mm  for n  1, 2,..., where the points xn constitute the
point process , i.e., xn     2 (unmarked or ground process) and mm are the
marks corrresponsing to the respective points xn . The marks belong to a given
space and have some given distribution.

Examples:
- x is the center of an atom and m is the type of atom
- x is the location of a tree and m is the type of tree
- x is the location of a transmitter and m is the transmit power
- x is the location of a transmitter and m is the channel gain
43
Marking Theorem for Inhomogeneous PPP
Independent Marks
A marked point process is said to be independently marked if, given the locations
of the points of the ground point process    xi    d , the marks are mutually
independent random vectors on  l and if the conditional distribution of the mark
m of a point x   depends only on the point x it is attached to, i.e.,   m    
  m  x   Fx  dm  , where Fx  dm  on l is the probability kernel (distribution)
of the marks.

Marking Theorem of PPPs

Let a ground PPP  with intensity measure   dx  on  d and marks with
distributions Fx  dm  on  l . The independently marked point process  M is
a PPP on  d  l with intensity measure equal to:
 M  d  x, m    Fx  dm    dx 

Proof : It is the same as for the displacement theorem. 44

 Bottom Line…

 Independent displacements of a PPP result in a PPP

 Independent markings of a PPP result in a PPP

 These transformations occur in several applications…

 To deal with them, apply the constructive proof used to

prove the displacement theorem

 You will be able to compute “sums over PPPs”, “products

over PPPs”, etc. of a large class of “practical
transformations” of PPPs…

 Example: Independent Thinning

Independent Thinned Point Processes

Let a point process . The point process  thin obtained from  by randomly
and indepenently removing some fractions of its points with probability 1- p  x 
is called thinned point process with retention probability p  x  .

Thinning Theorem of PPPs

The thinning by retention probability p  x  of an inhomogeneous PPP of
intensity measure   dx  is an inhomogenous PPP of intensity measure:

Independent Thinning: An Illusory Paradox
A Bernoulli trial is an idealized coin flip. The probability of heads is p and the
probability of tails is q  1  p. Sequences of Bernoulli trials are independent.

Denote the numbers of heads and tails observed in a sequence of n  1 independent

Bernoulli trials by nh and nt , respectively. The sequence of Bernoulli trials is
performed (conceptually) many times, so the observed numbers nh and nt are
realizations of random variables, denoted by N h and N t , respectively. If exactly
n trials are always performed, the random variables N h and N t are not independent
because of the deterministic constraint nh  nt  n.

However, if the sequence length n is a realization of a Poisson distributed random

variable, denoted by N , then N h and N t are independent random variables! The
randomized constraint nh  nt  n holds, but it is not enough to induce any
dependence whatever between N h and N t .
48
Independent Thinning: An Illusory Paradox
N is a Poisson random variable with density  and its realization n is the length
of the number of Bernoulli trials performed. Then n  nh  nt , where nh and nt
are the observed numbers of heads and tails. The random variables N h and N t
are independent Poisson distributed with mean intensities p and 1  p   .

Let us prove the independence:

 Palm Theory and Conditioning
 Palm theory formalizes the notion of the conditional distribution
of a general point process given that it has a point at some
location.

 Palm probability/measure is the probability of an event given

that the point process contains a point at some location.

 Palm theory formalizes the notion of the “typical point” of a

point process. Informally, the typical point results from a
selection procedure in which every point has the same chance of
being selected.

 On the other hand, a point chosen according to some sampling

procedure, such as the point closest to the origin, is not typical,
because it has been selected in a specific manner.

 Palm distribution is the conditional point process distribution

given that a point exists at a specific location. 50
Palm Distribution: Notation

Consider the event (or property) E of a point process .

The following notations are equivalent and used interchangeably:

   has property E x      has property E x   
    E x   
 x  E 
 x  E 

51
Reduced Palm Distribution: Definition and Notation
Rationale
1. When calculating Palm probabilities it is more natural not to consider the point
of the point process that we condition on.
2. Consider a network whose nodes form a point process. Assume that we want to
identify one of them as the intended transmitter, while the other act as the interferers.
The computation of the sum interference from all the interferers requires the
conditioning on the location of the intended transmitter and its exclusion from the
set of interferers for computing the distribution of the sum interference.

Reduced Palm Distribution

Consider the event (or property) E of a point process .
The reduced Palm distribution is the probability that  has property E conditioning
on a point of  being located at x and not counting it, i.e., the point on which we
condition is not included in the distribution.
The following notations are equivalent and used interchangeably:

Reduced Palm Distribution of PPP: Slivnyak Theorem

Slivnyak - Mecke Theorem

The reduced Palm distribution of a PPP is equal to its original distribution:
!x  E     E 

Note: This implies that, for a PPP, a new point can be added or a point can be
removed from the point process without disturbing the distribution of the other
points of the process. This originates from their complete spatial randomness.
