Stochastic geometry gradually becomes a necessary theoretical tool to model and analyse modern telecommunication systems, very much the same way the queuing theory revolutionised studying the circuit switched telephony in the last century. The reason for this is that the spatial structure of most contemporary networks plays crucial role in their functioning and thus it has to be properly accounted for when doing their performance evaluation, optimisation or deciding the best evolution scenarios. The talk will present some stochastic geometry models and tools currently used in studying modern telecommunications. We outline specifics of wired, wireless fixed and ad-hoc systems and show how the stochastic geometry modelling helps in their analysis and optimisation.
