For mobile ad hoc networking, relaying is one of the most fundamental functions. The traditional relaying strategy is serial where data packets hop from a single node to another, and the nodes neighboring a transmitting node or a receiving node are suppressed from transmission to avoid radio interference. This paper considers a parallel relaying strategy where neighboring nodes may act as parallel relays with space time modulation. The paper demonstrates the feasibility of parallel relaying in ad hoc networks by presenting a generic route discovery algorithm for establishing routes of parallel relays.
