Abstract
In this paper, we apply the multiple-route packet combining scheme (In Proceedings of the 1st International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems, pp. 183–187, Mauritius, 2004) to wireless multihop networks in order to support delay-sensitive applications. The performance of the system is time-dependent and is greatly affected by network-level performance. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an analytical framework to evaluate the performance of the system with taking into account its time-dependency. We use queuing theory to analyze the performance of the system. From numerical results, it is shown that the performance degradation of the system is mainly caused by the increase of packet delay, which is due to the increase of the traffic intensity. To prevent the increase of traffic, we propose a packet discarding scheme. We analyze the average packet error probability of the proposed system with the equilibrium point analysis (EPA). Numerical results show that the packet discarding scheme can improve the average packet error probability under heavy traffic conditions.
