Abstract

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has drawn significant attention recently as a key important factor especially in sensitive areas, through which, data can be simply collected and transmitted. However, we lack practical WSN that promises a high-speed, real time and energy efficient communication with a small size cell battery. In this paper, we proposed a novel cross-layer Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) architecture with QoS Provisioning for Cooperative Wireless Networking, which can optimize system performance by choosing appropriate frame size, modulation and retransmission methods through sensitive analysis. Spatial diversity gain could also be achieved through cooperative relay stations. Our contribution includes two folders: (1) Proposed a novel cross-layer HARQ framework for cooperative wireless networks (2) Proposed optimal QoS provisioning through Choquet-based cross-layer parameters decision.
