yes, actually we can simulate that - 
in fact i was on the committee of a very smart PhD student (Gregor Gaertner)in Trinity College
Dublin who did a bunch of empirical studies  of wifi propagation in the streets
and then built exactly the hybrid matlab+ns2 simulation I am describing
[note wifi is wideband radio in a sense so this is notionally harder than a single narrow band
scheme))

yes, it has to do something like the spatial resolution of the 1/2 wavelength of the radio
and temporal resolution of the movement of people/devices over that space (actually it turns out it doesnt for
various interesting reasons) - the simulator and measurements matched well...

no humour involved at all
