Abstract

        In this paper, we study the higher layer performance as well as the “throughput, delay, energy consumption” tradeoff problem for multirelay assisted cooperative automatic repeat request (C-ARQ) protocols. We study a practical scenario where only the average channel state information (CSI) is available at the source and relays. We consider four multirelay C-ARQ protocols and derive closed-form expressions for the transmission delay distribution, the energy consumption, and the higher layer queuing performance. Furthermore, we analyze the quality of service (QoS)-constrained energy efficiency performances of the protocols. Our analysis is validated by simulations. In addition, we evaluate the system performance under these C-ARQ protocols and for different topologies. We conclude several guidelines for the design of efficient C-ARQ protocols. Finally, a simple extension of the studied C-ARQ protocols is proposed, which improves the QoS-constrained energy efficiency by 4%.
