Delay Analysis for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks with Two-Hop Relay Algorithm

The delay performance of mobile Ad hoc networks with two-hop relay algorithm is analyzed. Computing the mean transition steps of the geometric random process and joint probability distribution of random variables,the closed-form expression of the delivery delay upper bound and the optimal transmission redundancy strategy are obtained. Further,based on mean residual service time,the end-to-end delay performance is derived. Finally,the numerical results show the relationship of delay performance with the network size and the traffic load.
