Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a novel distributed virtual MIMO scheme for wireless sensor networks. Using the cross layer design, which involves the MIMO techniques on the physical layer and directed diffusion protocol on the network layer, the scheme can optimize the network´s energy performance. Comparing with the exiting cluster-based virtual MIMO scheme, the proposed distributed scheme has better stability and scalability.
