Multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks suffer from severe link error due to fading. In order to tailor multi-hop transmissions to fading environment and improve reliability, dynamic multi-hopping schemes have been proposed. In this paper, we theoretically analyze the end-to-end packet delivery rate performance of integrated dynamic multi-hopping (IDMH) scheme under the generalized fading model combining the effect of Rayleigh fading and log-normal shadowing, i.e., Suzuki fading model. Results show that packet delivery rate is remarkably improved by the IDMH scheme. Furthermore, numerical results via network simulator justify the accuracy of the theoretical analysis.
