Wireless networks with multiple nodes that relay information from a source to a destination are expected to be deployed in many applications. Therefore, understanding their design and performance under practical constraints is important. In this work, we propose and study three multihopping decode and forward (MDF) protocols for multistage half-duplex relay networks with no direct link between the source and destination nodes. In all three protocols, we assume no cooperation across relay nodes for encoding and decoding. Numerical evaluation in illustrative example networks and comparison with cheap relay cut-set bounds for half-duplex networks show that the proposed MDF protocols approach capacity in some ranges of channel gains. The main idea in the design of the protocols is the use of coding in interference networks that are created in different states or modes of a half-duplex network. Our results suggest that multistage half-duplex relaying with practical constraints on cooperation is comparable to point-to-point links and full-duplex relay networks, if there are multiple non-overlapping paths from source to destination and if suitable coding is employed in interference network states.
