Abstract
In this paper, we address the lossy compression of spatial networks, namely random geometric graphs, where two nodes are connected by an edge with a probability that depends on the distance between the nodes. We carry out this study by considering the nth order information-distortion function, which quantifies the complexity of a random graph under a distortion criterion. Our main result is a partial characterization of the information-distortion function for a random geometric graph with the Hamming distortion measure.
