Cooperative Communications in MultiHop Networking: a Case Study Based on the IEEE 802.11 Protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper combines multi-hop networking with single-hop cooperative communications. The solution is built upon the standard IEEE 802.11 protocol operating in the ad hoc mode. A simulation based comparison is carried out in order to evaluate the performance gains and benefit of cooperative communications applied to multi-hop networking. Preliminary results indicate that network performance in terms of both throughput and end-to-end delay improves. Additionally, cooperative communications increases robustness against uncertainties in the wireless channel.

Cooperative MAC Protocol based on TXOP and Block ACK in IEEE 802.11e WLANs
The IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol cannot support quality of service (QoS) requirements. In order to provide QoS in the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol, the IEEE 802.11e has been standardized. These standards provide multiple transmission rates, which can be changed dynamically according to the channel condition. When using multiple transmission rates, the capacity of wireless LAN improves, but the performa...
متن کاملDoes the IEEE 802.11 MAC Protocol Work Well in Multihop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks?
The IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol is the standard for wireless LANs; it is widely used in testbeds and simulations for wireless multihop ad hoc networks. However, this protocol was not designed for multihop networks. Although it can support some ad hoc network architecture, it is not intended to support the wireless mobile ad hoc network, in which multihop connectivity is one of the most prominent f...
متن کاملRecursive analytical performance evaluation of broadcast protocols with silencing: application to VANETs
In this article, we present a novel theoretical framework suitable for analytical performance evaluation of a family of multihop broadcast protocols. The framework allows to derive several average performance metrics, including reliability, latency, and efficiency, and it is targeted to Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs) applications based on an underlying IEEE 802.11 protocol. It builds on the...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of IEEE 802.11 Broadcast Scheme in Multihop Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
In this paper, we study the performance of IEEE 802.11 broadcast scheme in multihop wireless networks using an analytical model. Previous works have evaluated the performance of IEEE 802.11 protocol assuming unicast communication, but there has not been an analysis considering broadcast communication. Analyzing performance of broadcast communication is important because multicast communication ...

Many performance evaluations for IEEE 802.11distributed coordination function (DCF) have been previouslyreported in the literature. Some of them have clearly indicatedthat 802.11 MAC protocol has poor performance in multi-hopwireless ad hoc networks due to exposed and hidden nodeproblems. Although RTS/CTS transmission scheme mitigatesthese phenomena, it has not been successful in thoroughlyomit...
