Persistent RCSMA: A MAC Protocol for a Distributed Cooperative ARQ Scheme in Wireless Networks

The persistent relay carrier sensing multiple access (PRCSMA) protocol is presented in this paper as a novel medium access control (MAC) protocol that allows for the execution of a distributed cooperative automatic retransmission request (ARQ) scheme in IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. The underlying...
