Item Cooperative ARQ protocols in slotted radio networks(The University of Texas at Dallas, 2013-06-18) Cerutti, Isabella, 1973-; Fumagalli, Andrea; Gupta, Puja, 1980-; Eric Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science. Open Networking Advanced Research (OpNeAR) Laboratory.In conventional (non-cooperative) automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocols for radio networks, the corrupted data frames that cannot be correctly decoded at the destination are retransmitted by the source. In cooperative ARQ protocols, data frame retransmissions may be performed by a neighboring node (the relay) that has successfully overheard the source’s frame transmission. One advantage of the latter group of ARQ protocols is the spatial diversity provided by the relay. The first delay model for cooperative ARQ protocols is presented in this paper. The model is analytically derived for a simple set of retransmission rules that make use of both uncoded and coded cooperative communications in slotted radio network. The model estimates the delay experienced by Poisson arriving frames, whose retransmissions (when required) are performed also by a single relay. Saturation throughput, frame latency and buffer occupancy at the source, and relay are quantified and compared against two non-cooperative ARQ protocols.Item Optimized transmission power levels in a cooperative ARQ protocol for microwave recharged wireless sensors(The University of Texas at Dallas, 2013-06-18) Monti, Paolo, 1973; Tacca, Marco, 1973-; Fumagalli, Andrea; Eric Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science. Open Networking Advanced Research (OpNeAR) Laboratory.The Generic Autonomous Platform for Sensor Systems, or GAP4S, is a maintenance-free wireless sensor network in which the sensor node battery does not need to be replaced. Power is delivered to the sensor node via a microwave signal that is radiated by a base-station. The base-station also acts as the entry point to a wider communication network, e.g., the Internet. This paper describes an automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocol that may be used in GAP4S to yield reliable and fair data transmission from the sensor nodes to the base-station. The protocol takes advantage of cooperative communication, whereby neighboring sensor nodes help during the retransmission process. The transmission power level is optimized at each sensor node to increase the saturation throughput of the ARQ protocol.
