Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Relaying can improve performance of a wireless network, especially when transmission modes with different distance/cost tradeoffs are available. Examples of such modes include data rates or transmission power. This paper geometrically analyzes the probability that a high-cost direct transmission can be replaced by a combination of low-cost relay transmissions. The main result of the analysis is a technology-agnostic characterization of a communication systems amenability to relaying strategies and some recommendations for how to structure such systems

Multi-rate relaying for performance improvement in IEEE 802.11 WLANs
- 2007. - 5

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- It is well known that the presence of nodes using a low data transmit rate has a disproportionate impact on the performance of an IEEE 802.11 WLAN. ORP is an opportunistic relay protocol that allows nodes to increase their effective transmit rate by replacing a low data rate transmission with a two-hop sequence of shorter range, higher data rate transmissions, using an intermediate node as a relay. ORP differs from existing protocols in discovering relays experimentally, by optimistically making frames available for relaying. Relays identify themselves as suitable relays by forwarding these frames. This approach has several advantages compared with previously proposed relay protocols: Most importantly, ORP does not rely on observations of received signal strength to infer the availability of relay nodes and transmit rates. We present analytic and simulation results showing that ORP improves the throughput by up to 40% in a saturated IEEE 802.11b network.
