Abstract: We study an incremental redundancy (IR) cooperative coding scheme for wireless networks. To exploit the spatial diversity benefit we propose a cluster-based collaborating strategy for a quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel model and based on a network geometric distance profile. Our scheme enhances the network performance by embedding an IR cooperative coding scheme into an existing noncooperative route. More precisely, for each hop, we form a collaborating cluster of M-1 nodes between the (hop) sender and the (hop) destination. The transmitted message is encoded using a mother code and partitioned into M blocks corresponding to the each of M slots. In the first slot, the (hop) sender broadcasts its information by transmitting the first block, and its helpers attempt to relay this message. In the remaining slots, the each of left-over M-1 blocks is sent either through a helper which has successfully decoded the message or directly by the (hop) sender where a dynamic schedule is based on the ACK-based feedback from the cluster. By employing powerful good codes (e.g., turbo codes, LDPC codes, and raptor codes) whose performance is characterized by a threshold behavior, our approach improves the reliability of a multi-hop routing through not only cooperation diversity benefit but also a coding advantage. The study of the diversity and the coding gain of the proposed scheme is based on a new simple threshold bound on the frame-error rate (FER) of maximum likelihood decoding. A average FER upper bound and its asymptotic (in large SNR) version are derived as a function of the average fading channel SNRs and the code threshold.
