Multicasting Information for Internet of Things Wireless Networks

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.
