Protection Schemes for 4G Multihop wireless Networks

Abstract

This paper describes the relay node protection using network coding for fourth generation multihop wireless networks and analises the QoS performance with the proposed scheme. The Quality of Service performance, such as PDR, latency and jitter, are measured for different scenarios. The scenarios for 4G wireless networks include failure of a single and two relay nodes, with and without the protection scheme, and user’s mobility.
