Transmit diversity generally requires more than one antenna at the transmitter. However,
many wireless devices are limited by size or hardware complexity to one antenna. Recently …

Cooperative diversity has gained much interest due to its ability to mitigate multipath fading
without using multiple antennas. There has been considerable research on how cooperative …

Abstract Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications emerge to autonomously operate to
link interactions between Internet cyber world and physical systems. We present the …

The essential guide to state-of-the art mobile positioning and tracking techniques—fully
updated for new and emerging trends in the field Mobile Positioning and Tracking, Second …

Cooperative and relay communications have recently become the most widely explored
topics in communications, whereby users cooperate in transmitting their messages to the …

In wireless multihop networks such as wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and mobile ad hoc
networks (MANETs), nodes have to rely on their peer neighbours in transmitting packets to …

Recently, cooperative communications, in the form of having each node equipped with a
single antenna and exploit spatial diversity via some relay node's antenna, is shown to be a …

The fading characteristics and broadcast nature of wireless channels are usually not fully
considered in the design of routing protocols for wireless networks. In this paper, we …

There are a lot of recent interests on cooperative communication (CC) in wireless networks.
Despite the large capacity gain of CC in small wireless networks with its capability of …

In cooperative networks, transmitting and receiving nodes recruit neighboring nodes to
assist in communication. We model a cooperative transmission link in wireless networks as …
