| Abstract: | A random access protocol for wireless networks was recently
proposed that via cooperation of network nodes can resolve collisions
and thus achieve high throughput. In this paper, we provide
analytical expressions for the Bit-Error-Rate (BER) performance
of that scheme in a Rayleigh flat fading scenario. Our analysis
indicates that the spatial diversity introduced by user cooperation
enables lower BER than non-cooperative protocols that avoid collisions,
such as ALOHA or TDMA. The BER performance shows
that the cooperative random access protocol is best suited for variable
rate traffic. The analytical results are validated via simulations. |
