Throughput Analysis of Dynamic Multi-Hop Network Under High Traffic Load

Abstract

This paper theoretically analyzes the throughput of the dynamic multi-hop networks under high traffic load condition. In order to reduce the number of hops and improve the throughput performance, the shortcut path between the non-neighboring nodes is established. However, the preceding packet hinders the establishment of the shortcut path when the traffic load is high. To eliminate the interference from the preceding packet, we introduce intra-flow interference canceller (IFIC). We derive the theoretical packet delivery rate (PDR) expression by taking into account the existence of preceding packets. Theoretical analysis and numerical evaluation elucidate the effectiveness of IFIC to improve the throughput performance in dynamic multi-hop networks even under high traffic load condition.
