Abstract: The quality of service parameters, such as Latency and Bit error rate for audio transmission in IEEE 802.11b Wireless ad hoc network are analyzed in this paper. The issue addressed here is that the quality of the audio, when transmitted directly from source to destination in ad hoc network is low. This can be improved by incorporating a relay between source and destination, where the relay uses decode and forward technique before forwarding the information to the destination. Destination applies Maximal ratio combining (MRC), to combine the signal received from the source and the relay. This concept is called Cooperative communication. A location aware channel estimation based relay selection strategy is proposed in this paper for a wireless ad hoc network. Audio is transmitted using 16 QAM modulation scheme over a Rayleigh fading channel in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). This paper focusses on the relay selection method for audio transmission in cooperative ad hoc networks where best relay is selected based on the average channel strength supported between the source and the destination. Audio quality at the destination is observed for the cases of relay presence and relay absence. Results showed that the measured audio quality with the presence of relay was far better than the measured quality in the absence of relay which stresses the importance of cooperative communication.
