Controlled Barrage Regions: Stochastic Modeling, Analysis, and Optimization [article]

Salvatore Talarico, Matthew C. Valenti, Thomas R. Halford
2016 arXiv   pre-print
While inherently a broadcast protocol, BRNs can support unicast transmission by superimposing a plurality of controlled barrage regions (CBRs) onto the network.  ...  Using this accurate analytical framework, a line network is optimized, which identifies the code rate, the number of relays, and the length of a radio frame that maximizes the transport capacity.  ...  The spatial extent of unicast and multicast transmissions can be contained in BRNs via controlled barrage regions (CBRs).  ...
