Abstract
There is recently an increasing popularity in the use of wireless ad hoc networks, especially for sensor networks. However, these networks are susceptible to fading, interference and limited power supply. In this paper, we consider the issue of cooperative routing under the effect of both Multi-User Interference (MUI) and fading in Ultra-wideband (UWB) networks. We first generate a single path route from any available routing algorithms. Based on this single path route, our Cooperative Routing Algorithm is executed to see whether nodes which 'overhear' the information should cooperate to alleviate the effect of fading, and thus improve outage performance. From our result, it is shown that our Cooperative Routing Algorithm reduces the average transmit energy by 8dB at 3% of outage. © 2007 IEEE.
