Introduction One possible path destination source
Introduction Another possible path destination source
Introduction Many possible path destination source • Not all paths are the same • The “best” path will vary over time
Diversity • Link quality and hence path quality can be modeled as a stochastic process • If there are many alternative paths, there will be some very good path • The best path changes over time
Goal of cooperative relaying • Take advantage of diversity • (Don’t get stuck with a bad path • Switch to a good (best) path)
Challenge • How to find and use the best path with minimal overhead Potential benefits • The focus of this talk

Brief look at how to overcome the challenge RTS relay-set (1) relay-set (2) (1,1) (2,1) destination source (2,2) (1,2) • Nodes within relay-set (2) simultaneously broadcast RTS with a different • CDMA code

Brief look at how to overcome the challenge DATA relay-set (1) relay-set (2) (1,1) (2,1) destination source (2,2) (1,2) • Based on this information, the nodes within relay-set (2) all select the • same node to transmit the data • If node (2,1) is selected, it broadcasts the data
Brief look at how to overcome the challenge DATA relay-set (1) relay-set (2) (1,1) (2,1) destination source (2,2) (1,2) • The process repeats • Best-select protocol (BSP)
Dynamic programming J(n,i) is the “cost” from the ith node in the nth relay-set to destination • Various meanings of J • Probability of packet delivery • Minimum channel gain through the path • Minimum bit-rate through the path • End-to-end delay • End-to-end power • End-to-end energy J(n,i) = f (R(n,1),(n-1,1) , R(n,1),(n-1,2) , …. , R(n,i),(n-1,j) , J(n-1,1) , J(n-1,2) , … , J(n-1,j)) Channel gains Js from the downstream relay-set Stage costs Costs to go

Selection Metrics Minimizing End-to-End Delay ( J = Delay ) The best J in relay-set (n) : Data sending node : node (n,k) • Delay to next relay-set (if the transmission is successful) • Delay from next relay-set to destination (depends on which node was able to decode) • If no node in the next relay-set succeeds in decoding, then a large delay T is incurred due to transport • layer retransmission

CH* = -86 dBm, R (n,I),(n-1,j) = -60dBm • X(dBm) = -86 – (-60) = -26

Conclusion and Future Work Conclusion • Diversity allows BSP to achieve significant improvement in various metrics • Recall that in physical layers such as 802.11 received power varies over a range of 5-6 orders of magnitude (-36 dBm to -96 dBm). That is, a good link may be 100,000 ~ 1,000,000 times better than a bad link. • In communication theory, the link is given, regardless of whether the link is bad or good. • In networking, we do not have to use the bad links; we can pick links that are perhaps 100,000 ~1,000,000 times better Future/current Work • Reduce overhead of RTS/CTS control packets • Investigate optimum size of relay-set • Better method of joining, leaving relay-set and detecting route failures
