contents A new method is proposed for analyzing complexity and studying the information in random geometric networks using Tsallis entropy tool. Tsallis entropy of the ensemble of random geometric networks is calculated based on the components of the random connection model on the point process which is obtained by connecting the points with a probability that depends on their relative positions (10.1016/j.indag.2022.05.002, 2022). According to information theory and conditional discussion, the bounds for Shannon and Tsallis entropies of the ensemble of this random graph are presented. Using this function and Lagrange's formula, the connection function that provides the maximum Tsallis entropy based on general constraints is obtained. Then, a simulation-based example is presented to clarify the application of the proposed method in the study of ad hoc wireless networks. By observing the obtained results, it can be stated that the wireless networks that adhere to the model studied here are almost maximally complex. Also, Tsallis conditional entropy maximizing function is compared with other connection functions using numerical calculations and the optimal value for the maximization of conditional entropies is obtained.
