Abstract

Multi-hop relaying is an effective technique to combat the negative impacts of channel fading by providing shorter hops between peers in wireless networks. This paper investigates the modeling of a multi-hop Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) system with Decode and Forward (DF) relaying. We propose a three-state Markov model, which is suitable for Rayleigh block fading channels. Analytical throughput performance was presented along with simulations to verify the accuracy of the proposed model.
