Relay Selection for Capacity Increase in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network
Abstract
:1. Introduction
1.1. Related Work
1.2. Motivation and Objectives
- The list of selected RNs is created by summing the two link propagation delays (S-RN and RN-D). RNs are arranged in an order that the top most RN has the minimum distance to the midpoint of direct link (S-D). The arranged list of selected RNs is attached along with data packet.
- Each RN, whose name is available in the list of best RNs, buffer the data packet while remaining RNs discards the received data packet.
- When D receives erroneous data packet, it asks for retransmission by broadcasting NACK until the data packet is received successfully.
2. UWA System Model
3. Proposed Examining and Selecting the Best Relay Node (EBRN) Scheme
- All nodes have the same transmission power and receiver capability.
- Every node is fixed on a seabed and is unable to acquire a timing synchronization due to the UWA channel characteristics.
- All nodes know the distance and the propagation delay time from/to one-hop neighboring nodes through the network initialization.
- The reactive type of the decode-forward (DF) signaling strategy is utilized on each RN.
- The errors occur only in data packets, not in the control packets.
