Distance-Based Routing Strategy for Traffic Transport in Spatial Networks

Figure 5

(Color online) Resized distance 𝑑_𝑛 to destination (a) and degree 𝑘 (b) along transporting path for the LDegree strategy, the LDistance strategy and the mixed strategy. The horizontal axis labels the index ℎ_𝑖 of routers along transporting path. The tunable parameters are set to 𝛼_𝑐=−0.9 in the LDegree strategy, 𝛽_𝑐=−1.2 in the LDistance strategy, and 𝜎=0.45 because traffic capacities are maximized at these values under the given values of degree exponent 𝛾=3 and clustering strength 𝜆=1.1.
