Outage capacity in MIMO Ad hoc network using co-operative relay and secret sharing scheme

Abstract

Ad hoc network has the potentiality to connect different wireless devices to enable more powerful application and mobile computing capabilities. MIMO provides significantly higher data rate and support diversity during the channel degredation in Ad hoc networks. In this paper we exploit the cooperative relay transmission to cope with the channel harsh condition. The MIMO in ad hoc network gives the multiple path for data transmission through multiple antenna. Using this concept, the secret sharing scheme is incorporated to avoid the data loss due to certain breakage of links or paths failure. The important measure of the capacity of a MIMO channel is the outage capacity. We have simulated the networks and shown the performance of the networks in terms of outage capacity and throughput with different SNR values.
