摘要
A three-tier hierarchical wireless sensor network is considered that consists of a cluster of sensors, an intermediate relay with better computing and communication capabilities than the sensors, and a central server or access point. Such a network can be modeled as a multiple-access relay channel (MARC) with additive white Gaussian noise and fading. Capacity bounds for this network are presented with and without constraints on simultaneous reception and transmission by the relay. The results identify cooperative strategies between the relay and sensors for increasing network capacity. These strategies also preserve limited battery resources by eliminating the need for cooperation between sensors.
