This article reviews progress in cooperative communication networks. Our survey is by no
means exhaustive. Instead, we assemble a representative sample of recent results to serve …

This book presents an in-depth study on the recent advances in Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSNs). The authors describe the existing WSN applications and discuss the research …

Diversity, ie transmitting multiple replicas of a signal, may mitigate fading in wireless
networks. Among other diversity techniques, the space diversity of multi-antenna systems is …

Coding strategies that exploit node cooperation are developed for relay networks. Two basic
schemes are studied: the relays decode-and-forward the source message to the destination …

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology constitutes a breakthrough in the design of
wireless communications systems, and is already at the core of several wireless standards …

Cooperative diversity is a transmission technique, where multiple terminals pool their
resources to form a virtual antenna array that realizes spatial diversity gain in a distributed …

We propose novel cooperative transmission protocols for delay-limited coherent fading
channels consisting of N (half-duplex and single-antenna) partners and one cell site. In our …

Facilitating Cooperation for Wireless Systems Cooperative Communications: Hardware,
Channel & PHY focuses on issues pertaining to the PHY layer of wireless communication …

This paper considers a wireless cooperative cellular data network with a base station and
many subscribers in which the subscribers have the ability to relay information for each other …

Wireless networks contain an inherent distributed spatial diversity that can be exploited by
the use of relaying. Relay networks take advantage of the broadcast-oriented nature of radio …
