Abstract :
We study the effect of fading in a contention-limited multihop packet radio network (PRN) with capture. Four transmission strategies based on the Most Forward with Fixed Range (MFR), Nearest with Forward Progress (NFP), Minimal Angular Deviation (MAD), and Angular to Transmission Range Ratio (ARR) routing schemes are studied. Results show that all four transmission strategies perform worse in the presence of Rayleigh fading. This is in contrast to single-hop systems in which Rayleigh fading generally does not result in poorer performance
