Abstract

Redundancy techniques based on the combination of multiple diverse communication channels are an established countermeasure to improve performance characteristics of wireless communication systems. Besides parallel redundancy in the space and frequency domain, serial redundancy in the time domain can be utilized. It is known that the parallel approaches can significantly improve performance characteristics like jitter and reliability, when applied for wireless packet-based data transmission. In this work, an investigation on the performance impact of additional time diversity on top of the parallel redundancy approaches is performed. An OPNET simulation model is created and analysed for its performance characteristics.
