Cooperative diversity has been recently proposed as a way to form virtual antenna arrays
that provide dramatic gains in slow fading wireless environments. However, most of the …

We consider an amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative diversity system where a source
communicates with a destination with the help of multiple relay nodes. The conventional …

The performance in cooperative communication depends on careful resource allocation
such as relay selection and power control, but the traditional centralized resource allocation …

Cooperative communication with single relay selection is a simple but effective
communication scheme for energy-constrained networks. In this paper, we propose a novel …

Distributed and efficient resource allocation is critical for fully realizing the benefits of
cooperative communications in large scale communication networks. This paper proposes …

In the past decade, there has been ever‐increasing research attention to user cooperation in
the wireless communication networks. The unique challenges of wireless networks such as …

In this paper, a transmission protocol is studied for a two relay wireless network in which
simple repetition coding is applied at the relays. Information-theoretic achievable rates for …

In this paper, we present a survey of cooperative diversity-enabled Medium Access Control
(MAC) protocols for Wireless LANs (WLANs) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) …

In wireless packet-forwarding networks with selfish nodes, application of a repeated game
can induce the nodes to forward each others' packets, so that the network performance can …
