Abstract
Cooperative multihop communications support effective transmissions over underwater acoustic channels as inferior wireless channels. But the performance of cooperative multihop systems may degrade due to the lack of cooperative nodes at the initial operation time duration. At the initial time duration, the lack of cooperative nodes causes more errors, and the multihop network propagates these errors. In this paper, we apply fountain code to the cooperative multihop system at the initial time duration, and show performance improvements by simulations.
