Denote the Palm measure of a homogeneous Poisson process
Hλ with two points 0 and x by
P0,x. We prove that there exists a constant
μ ≥ 1 such that
P0,x(D(0, x) / μ||x||2 ∉
(1 - ε, 1 + ε) | 0, x ∈ C∞)
exponentially decreases when ||x||2 tends to ∞, where
D(0, x) is the graph distance between 0 and x in the
infinite component C∞ of the random geometric graph
G(Hλ; 1). We derive a large deviation
inequality for an asymptotic shape result. Our results have applications in
many fields and especially in wireless sensor networks.
