Multicasting Information for Internet of Things Wireless Networks

Abstract

In this paper, we consider an Internet of Things (IoT) wireless network sharing the common wireless medium. For this network, we investigate a two-hop transmission strategy utilizing some of the network nodes as relay nodes. We analyze a two-hop multicast traffic alignment scheme over a time-varying circularly symmetric equal path length fading channels. The channel model is a finite field channel model with inputs and channel gains belonging to the same field Fq. We derive the achievable rates for multicasting information over this network from a set of source nodes to an equal set of destination nodes.
