  In this letter, we derive the cumulative density function (CDF) of the
nearest neighbor and contact distance distributions of the Matern cluster
process (MCP) in R2. These results will be useful in the performance analysis
of many real-world wireless networks that exhibit inter-node attraction. Using
these results, we concretely demonstrate that the contact distance of the MCP
stochastically dominates its nearest-neighbor distance as well as the contact
distance of the homogeneous Poisson point process (PPP) with the same density.
