| Research Abstract |
This is an R&D research project of MIMO mesh network which consists of multiple relay nodes equipped with MIMO antenna to relay packets in a multi-hop manner. Based on investigation of MIMO transceiver design, resource allocation, node synchronization, network coding and cooperative relay, we established protocols for different layers of the mesh network and developed a demonstrator system. Through evaluation of transmission performance, we confirmed superiority of the proposed system to achieve a 6 times gain in achievable throughput and significant packet delay reduction in comparison with conventional multi-hop relay protocols based on CSMA/CA. We also proposed an adaptive wireless resource allocation scheme to maintain the effectiveness of the proposed system even in non-uniform network topology. In the demonstrator system, we realized two-way relay of graphic data, which is also a proof for the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization scheme. Furthermore, experiment results with a setup of 3 relay nodes in an indoor environment practically confirmed the superiority of two-way relay.
