Abstract-This paper investigates relay selection for reliable data transmission in relay-assisted multisource multicast networks (RMMNs) where multiple source nodes distribute information to a set of destination nodes with the assistance of multiple relay nodes. Hybrid automatic repeat request with incremental redundancy (HARQ-IR) is used and supported by either a physical-layer network coding (PNC) or an analog network coding (ANC) technique employed at the relays. By deriving efficiency metrics of the HARQ-IR protocols, we propose relay selection schemes for RMMNs to minimize the transmission delay and energy consumption. Simulation results are provided to analyse each relay selection scheme.

Energy-Efficient Path Selection Using SNR Correlation for Wireless Multi-Hop Cooperative Communications

“…In addition, the end-to-end performances of the PPS have been widely studied for a decode-and-forward (DF) relaying system with an eavesdropper [18], a cognitive amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying system [19], and a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)-based AF relaying system [20] in terms of the outage probability and ergodic capacity. Moreover, the PPS can be applicable to a cooperative NOMA system [21] and a relay-assisted multicast system [22] when those systems require limited CSI feedback.…”
