Cooperative Transmission Scheme in Distributed Sensor Network for Extension of Transmission Range
Koji Nakao, Takaya Yamazato, Masaaki Katayama, Hiraku Okada · 2007
We consider a distributed transmission of data packet to a sink where the distance for a sensor node to the sink is much longer than a sensor node can transmit. We give a simple modification in the transmitter, i.e., multiplication of random phase before the transmission. Thanks to a strong error correcting code, it is possible to extend the transmission range as the received amplitude varies symbol by symbol for our scheme while whole data packet may be lost for the conventional scheme.
