Source-Destination Hybrid ARQ for Multi-Route Coding in Wireless Multi-Hop Networks

For reduction in transmission errors on wireless links, we proposed the multi-route coding on multiple routes for wireless multi-hop networks. In the proposed coding, a source node encodes a packet, divides it into sub packets, and transmits them on multiple routes. A destination node combines and decodes the arriving sub packets to get coding and diversity gain. In this paper, we propose a hybrid ARQ scheme for the multiroute coding. In a hybrid ARQ, important information is firstly transmitted, and redundant information is retransmitted later. On the other hand, in the multiroute coding, all sub packets should have the same importance because of efficient diversity combining. We investigate the trade-off between hybrid ARQ and multi-route coding
