Experimental Performance Evaluation of a Cooperative ARQ Scheme using OpenMAC
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper experimentally validates the efficiency of Cooperative Automatic Retransmission reQuest (C-ARQ) versus traditional ARQ protocols in terms of delay, throughput, and energy consumption. We report on our development of a testbed for obtaining these results, which is based on OpenMAC, a platform we have designed for rapid prototyping of MAC algorithms. With this work we demonstrate that OpenMAC can provide high levels of abstraction and flexibility while effectively operating novel protocol drivers under field testing by sustaining real-time execution of device-independent software prototypes.

Implementation and Performance Evaluation of a New Experimental Platform for Medium Access Control Protocols
OpenMAC is presented in this paper as an innovative experimental platform suitable for field testing and performance evaluation of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols developed in C++. The concept design of OpenMAC avoids the use of hardware-specific code or Hardware Description Language (HDL), softening the learning curve and accelerating the implementation process. This paper describes the ...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Cooperative-ARQ Schemes in Free-Space Optical Communications
We theoretically analyze the performance of free-space optical (FSO) systems using cooperative-ARQ (CARQ), a joint scheme of automatic-repeat-request (ARQ) and cooperative diversity, over atmospheric turbulence channels. We also propose a modified C-ARQ (M-C-ARQ) scheme that allows relay nodes to store a copy of frames for the more efficient response to transmission failure so that both transmi...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Wireless Cooperative Networks with Iterative Incremental Relay Selection
In this paper, an iterative incremental relay selection (IIRS) scheme is considered for wireless cooperative networks in order to increase the reliability of transmission. Different from the conventional incremental relay selection which incrementally selects a best relay for only one iteration; the IIRS scheme iteratively applies the incremental relaying and relay selection processes. To evalu...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of two-user cooperative ARQ protocol over Rayleigh fading channel
In this paper, we present a two-user cooperative automatic repeat request (C-ARQ) protocol which combines cooperative diversity at the physical layer and ARQ at the link layer. In this scheme, distributed Alamouti space-time block coding (DASTBC) is applied to achieve cooperative diversity, and ARQ is used to improve the data link layer reliability. To analyze the performance of the proposed pr...
متن کاملA Delayed Multiple Copy Retransmission Scheme for Selective Repeat ARQ in Correlated Fading Channels
In this paper, we propose a delayed multiple copy retransmission (D-MCR) scheme. By using Markovian analytic method we present the performance evaluation of the D-MCR scheme in correlated fading channels. Both effective throughput and number of retransmissions are derived. The analytic results show that the D-MCR scheme can improve the performance greatly, especially in slow fading channels.
