Abstract

In this paper, an efficient retransmission scheme using cooperation from neighboring nodes is investigated. In the cooperative retransmission scheme, an erroneous packet is retransmitted to the destination by cooperative nodes where distributed beamforming is used to accommodate multiple cooperating nodes. A Markov model is used to analyze throughput efficiency and average delay of the proposed retransmission scheme. It is shown that the analytical results are well matched with the simulated results and improved throughput and delay performance can be achieved as compared to the traditional retransmission scheme. The performance of the proposed cooperative retransmission is investigated in the multi-hop configuration via computer simulation. The transmit power for retransmission packet is also investigated and it can be significantly reduced by using a small feedback channel.
