Cooperation diversity-aware routing metric and cooperative routing protocol for 802.11s-based wireless Mesh networks

A cooperation diversity-aware routing metric for 802.11s-based wireless Mesh networks(WMNs) is proposed.Furthermore,a cooperation diversity-aware routing protocol(CDARP) and a cooperative MAC protocol(CMAC) are proposed,and both the protocals are adapted to the characteristic of WMNs.By building up virtual nodes and calculating the routing metric for virtual links,CDARP-CMAC can select the most reasonable path to cooperatively transmit packets.The simulation results show that,compared to the traditional cooperation scheme,CDARP-CMAC improves the good put by 5%~13% and reduces the drop rate by 5%~10%.
