Write a program to simulate a wireless mesh network with N nodes and M links where M > N. Each node is associated with an (x, y) coordinate on a 2-D plane. Add k LLs randomly and estimate the reduction in APL, ACC, and AND. Consider a slightly different method of link addition where k links are added between a randomly selected node and a central node in the network. The central node can be chosen as the node with the highest closeness centrality in the network. What are your observations on the APL values for these two cases?

What will be an ideal response?

This problem is a computer-based exercise. Create a random network add

k LLs by using
random link addition algorithm from Chapter 4 (see Section 4.5.2). The procedure to estimate
APL, ACC, and AND also can be found in Chapter 2 (see Section 2.4). To estimate the
reduction in the metrics, calculate the difference between the metric values before and after
the addition of LLs. Some Matlab code fractions available for simulations can be found at
