Introduction Cooperative communications and wireless networks
Designs of the previous cooperative protocols: enhancing the
system performance through the best relay selected. However, the contending
problem of best relays is not focused much.
The cross-layer cooperative MAC protocol [14]: achieving higher
diversity gain. However, relay contending time can increase because of length of
the Ready-To-Help (RTH) frame and retransmission of this frame.
it is necessary to optimize or redesign the MAC protocols for selecting the
best relay effectively, improving the system performance.

Our contributions:
Proposal of an improved cross-layer cooperative MAC protocol:
improving the system throughput and reducing the end-to-end packet latency for wireless ad hoc networks.
Detailed mathematical analysis of the network performance in terms of the system throughput and the end-to-end packet latency for both cases of error-free and erroneous channel.

Network model Each node uses a single ant. Data frames: multi-rate mode.(6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54) Mbps. Control frames: 2 Mbps. Available data rate depends on the instant received SNR. Channels: with log-normal shadowing path loss and Rayleigh fading .

Performance analysisA. Payload and Overhead Transmission Time Direct ransmission:
T1,p = W/R1;
T1,o = TRTS + TCTS + Td,o + TACK + 4TSIFS + 4tprop
Cooperation Without CollisionT2,p = W/RC1 + W/RC2 = W/Rh
T2o(g,m,k) = T1,o + THI + Tfb1(g) + TGI + Tfb2(g,m) + TMI + ktfb + THRP + Td,o + 2TSIFS + 2tprop
Cooperation With Optimal Helper Contention T3,p = T2,p; T3,o = T2,o
However, given K mini-slots, the probability that one of n optimal helpers wins the contention to choose the k-th mini-slot is given by.
Unsuccessful CooperationT4,o = T1,o + THI + Tfb1(g) + TGI + Tfb2(g,m) + TMI +ktfb + TSIFS

The probability that the contention fails due to more than one optimal helper selecting the same kth mini-slot is given by Pf(n,k).

Simulation and numerical results The network topology is created as in Fig. 1 with 20 helpers distributed randomly between the source and the destination. W = 2000 bytes; ρ = 1; K=20. In order to compare with the previous protocol in [14], we use the same channel conditions and assume that there is no packet transmission error.

Conclusions We have presented an improved cross-layer design of cooperative MAC protocols for wireless ad hoc networks. Decreasing signaling overhead by reducing the relay contending times in only fixed K mini-slots. Increasing the channel accessing ability as well as the controlling signal decoding capability by using the helper response pulse (HRP) signal instead of the control frame RTH in previous protocol. We also offer the mathematical analysis for the system performance.
Thank you for your attention!
