Given a Poisson process on a d-dimensional torus, its random geometric simplicial complex is the complex whose vertices are the points of the Poisson process and simplices are given by the C̆ech complex associated to the coverage of each point. By means of Malliavin calculus, we compute explicitly the three first-order moments of the number of k-simplices, and provide a way to compute higher-order moments. Then we derive the mean and the variance of the Euler characteristic. Using the Stein method, we estimate the speed of convergence of the number of occurrences of any connected subcomplex as it converges towards the Gaussian law when the intensity of the Poisson point process tends to infinity. We use a concentration inequality for Poisson processes to find bounds for the tail distribution of the Betti number of first order and the Euler characteristic in such simplicial complexes.

This paper proposes an analytic model for dimensioning OFDMA based networks like WiMAX and LTE systems. In such a system, users require a number of subchannels which depends on their SNR, hence of their position and the shadowing they experience. The system is overloaded when the number of required subchannels is greater than the number of available subchannels. We give an exact though not closed expression of the loss probability and then give an algorithmic method to derive the number of subchannels which guarantees a loss probability less than a given threshold. We show that Gaussian approximation lead to optimistic values and are thus unusable. We then introduce Edgeworth expansions with error bounds and show that by choosing the right order of the expansion, one can have an approximate dimensioning value easy to compute but with guaranteed performance. As the values obtained are highly dependent from the parameters of the system, which turned to be rather undetermined, we provide a procedure based on concentration inequality for Poisson functionals, which yields to conservative dimensioning. This paper relies on recent results on concentration inequalities and establish new results on Edgeworth expansions.
Given a Poisson process on a bounded interval, its random geometric graph is the graph whose vertices are the points of the Poisson process, and edges exist between two points if and only if their distance is less than a fixed given threshold. We compute explicitly the distribution of the number of connected components of this graph. The proof relies on inverting some Laplace transforms. MotivationAs technology goes on 1-3 , one can expect a wide expansion of the so-called sensor networks. Such networks represent the next evolutionary step in building, utilities, industry, home, agriculture, defense, and many other contexts 4 .These networks are built upon a multitude of small and cheap sensors which are devices with limited transmission capabilities. Each sensor monitors a region around itself by measuring some environmental quantities e.g., temperature, humidity , detecting intrusion and so forth, and broadcasts its collected information to other sensors or to a central node. The question of whether information can be shared among the whole network is then of crucial importance. Mathematically speaking, sensors can be abstracted as points in R 2 , R 3 , or a manifold. The region a sensor monitors is represented by a circle centered at the location of the sensor. In what follows, it is assumed that the broadcast radius, that is, the distance at which a sensor can communicate with another sensor, is equal to the monitoring radius. Two questions are then of interest: can any two sensors communicate using others as hopping relays and is the whole region covered by all the sensors? The recent works of Ghrist and his collaborators 5, 6 show how, in any dimension, algebraic topology can be used to answer these questions. Their method consists in building the so-called simplicial complex associated to the configuration of points and the radius of communication. Then, simple algebraic computations yield the Betti numbers: the first Betti number, usually denoted as β 0 , is the
