Abstract

This letter presents a unified analytical framework for deriving exact closed-form internodal distance distributions in both two- and three-dimensional wireless networks, covering all four node-pair combinations (static–static, static–mobile, mobile– static, and mobile–mobile) under uniform and random waypoint spatial models. Unlike existing works that typically address isolated scenarios or rely on numerical integration and simulations, the proposed approach provides a single tractable formulation that accommodates both unequal and equal region radii and captures mobility-induced spatial effects.
