DISH-Distributed Information Sharing System for Energy Efficiency in MANETs

This project proposes a cooperative transmission link in wireless networks as a transmitter cluster and a receiver cluster. And then propose a cooperative communication protocol for establishment of these clusters and for cooperative transmission of data. We derive the upper bound of the capacity of the protocol, and we analyze the end-to-end robustness of the protocol to data-packet loss, along with the tradeoff between energy consumption and error rate. The energy efficient protocol contains two main phases of mode ? Routing phase, ? Recruiting and transmission. The analysis results are used to compare the energy savings and the end-to-end robustness of our protocol with two noncooperative schemes, as well as to another cooperative protocol published in the technical literature.
