Cooperative Routing of Wireless Ad-hoc Networks in Rayleigh Fading Channel
Namsoo Peter Kim, Beongku An, Do–Hyeon Kim · 2007
We propose new routing scheme, Cooperative Diversity-based Routing (CDR) which utilizes the cooperative space diversity for power saving and performance enhancement of wireless ad-hoc networks. The improved performance is compared with Multi-hop Relay Routing (NRR) by analytical methods. When the required outage probability is at the destination node in ad-hoc networks with 7 nodes, we noticed that each node can save power consumption by 15.5 dB in average, by using our proposed CDR compared to MRR.
