Abstract

In this paper, a cooperative multicast scheme that uses Randomized Distributed Space Time Codes (RDSTC), along with packet level Forward Error Correction (FEC), is studied. For the source packets, two-hop transmission is considered, where a packet is transmitted first by the access point (AP), and then forwarded using R-DSTC by the nodes that receive the packet. On the other hand, parity packets are generated by the nodes that receive all the source packets correctly and are transmitted using RDSTC. The optimum transmission rates for source and parity packets, as well as the number of parity packets required, are determined such that the video quality at all nodes is maximized. It is shown that this scheme can support a higher video rate than a previously developed R-DSTC based scheme where both source and parity packets go through a two-hop transmission, as well as non-cooperative direct transmission.
