Paper Abstract
Many recent research efforts have confirmed that, given the natural evolution of telecommunication systems, they can be
approached by a new modeling technique, not based yet on traditional approach of graphs theory. The branch of complex
networking, although young, is able to introduce a new and strong way of networks modeling, nevertheless they are
social, telecommunication or friendship networks. In this paper we propose a new modeling technique applied to
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). The modeling has the purpose of ensuring an improvement of the distributed
communication, quantifying it in terms of clustering coefficient and average diameter of the entire network. The main
idea consists in the introduction of hybrid Data Mules, able to enhance the whole connectivity of the entire network. The
distribution degree of individual nodes in the network will follow a logarithmic trend, meaning that the most of the nodes
are not necessarily adjacent but, for each pair of them, there exists a relatively short path that connects them. The
effectiveness of the proposed idea has been validated thorough a deep campaign of simulations, proving also the power
of complex and small-world networks.
