A novel multicluster V-MIMO PCR scheme in large-scale Ad Hoc networks

Abstract

A multicluster packet collision resolution (PCR) scheme is a kind of recently proposed virtual-MIMO techniques. In existing multicluster PCR schemes, a large-scale wireless Ad Hoc network is divided into clusters and the single cluster PCR scheme is applied independently to resolve collisions in each cluster. However, there are still some flaws in existing multicluster PCR schemes. In this paper, by presenting a concise theoretical analysis model and a new CNS algorithm, a novel multicluster PCR scheme is proposed. Analysis and simulation results show that the proposed scheme can obtain high performance gain with low complexity. The proposed scheme is more robust and applicable than existing schemes.
