Communication in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) is frequently disrupted by high mobility of nodes, obstacles, and interference-prone links.
Since NQAR inherently avoids error-prone links, the reachability (reliability) is improved as well if no packet retransmission is assumed.
We have shown that NQAR increases end-to-end reachability (reliability) in case of no data retransmission, because of its inherent nature of avoiding error-prone links.
Through extensive simulations, we have validated that NQAR improves the end-to-end transfer delay performance and decreases jitter significantly under the error-prone (link error and collision) network environments.
We perform extensive simulations under the various qualities of links and show that the NQAR reduces the end-to-end transfer delay up to 50% in comparison with the latency-based directed diffusion [5] and the hop count-based directed diffusion [7] under the error-prone (link error and collision) network environments.
The shortest route selection algorithm in AODV is highly prone to link breakages when the network topology becomes more dynamic.
In this paper, we study a noise-limited low-latency decode-and-forward cooperative network set in a dynamic environment prone to link blockage.
To the best of the authors' knowledge, the derived closed-form expressions for outage probability are novel and can be utilized in determining outage performance in a dynamic network environment prone to link blockage.
For increased protection of more important layers over error-prone wireless links, the advantages of the UEP forward error correction (FEC) coding are demonstrated in a number of research studies [21 23].
In this paper, we have investigated DF cooperative networks prone to link blockage over temporally correlated Rayleigh fading between nodes and derived novel exact and asymptotic expressions for outage probability.
