| Summary |
For reduction in transmission errors on wireless links, we proposed the multi-route coding on multiple routes for wireless multi-hop networks. In the proposed coding, a source node encodes a packet, divides it into sub packets, and transmits them on multiple routes. A destination node combines and decodes the arrived sub packets to get coding and diversity gain. In this paper, we propose a hybrid ARQ scheme for multi-route coding. In a hybrid ARQ, important information is firstly transmitted, and redundant information is retransmitted later. On the other hand, in the multi-route coding, all sub packets should have the same importance because of efficient diversity combining. We investigate the trade-off between hybrid ARQ and multi-route coding. |
