Abstract
For the purpose of providing high data rate real-time services, radio transmission technologies for ship ad-hoc network based on the Recommendation ITU-R 1842-1 are designed. In order to increase the link throughput of real-time services, in this paper, we investigate the performance of the SANET with the spatial transmit diversity techniques are employed. Based on the analysis of the packet error rate and throughput, we select the efficient multiple antenna schemes for SANET to improve the link reliability.
