Performance Analysis & Latency Calculation Of Cooperative Communication Protocols

Wireless communications have been remarkably & rapidly evolving during last decade. This research work is focused on the Capacity, Throughput and Outage Probability of Cooperative communication protocols and the total latency caused by Cooperative diversity systems. The objectives of this work are as follows: To calculate the throughput; to calculate the probability; Analysis and evaluations of total latency caused by Cooperative diversity systems. For the research methodology, firstly it is discussed that why cooperation is needed and how cooperation is possible in a wireless network. Then the throughput, outage probability, various types of delays, latency requirement has been discussed. Finally, a system model with single and multiple relays has been presented. For analyzing the performance of Cooperative Communication system, MATLAB tool is used as simulator. The simulation parameters are: Channel gains with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN); BPSK modulation. Currently most of the work is based on analyzing performance improvement by cooperation but not on its possible side effects. Latency and security needs to be addressed carefully. That is why designing a laboratory based wireless cooperative communication prototype could be the best way to determine how much performance enhancement it can bring in real and practical wireless environment.
