Abstract

Motivated by the recent works on cooperative MIMO, this letter presents a coded diversity based cooperative protocol for wireless sensor networks. In densely deployed sensor networks, nearby nodes form a cluster of virtual antenna array to provide independent fading paths. The source node encodes the information bits with any channel code and forwards a portion of the codeword towards the cooperating nodes. The source and the cooperating nodes transmit different portion of the codeword to achieve a coded diversity at destination. Analysis and simulation show that our proposal can achieve full diversity when code rate is below a certain threshold.
