Recently, as it can increase the capacity of wireless networks greatly through spatial
diversity by taking advantage of antennas on other nodes, cooperative communication (CC) …

Cooperative communication effectively enhances the channel capacity of wireless networks
by allowing some single-antenna nodes to relay data for other nodes. In such a …

Exploiting the nature of broadcast and the relaying capability of wireless devices,
cooperative communication is becoming a promising technology to increase the channel …

Cooperative communication significantly improves the performance of wireless systems.
Transmission of signal in such a system can be accomplished by the help of intermediate …

Cooperation in wireless systems requires providing proper incentives. Furthermore, relay
nodes may not be willing to reveal their channel state information to others, which will result …

In this paper; we propose a new cooperative communication protocol, which achieves
higher bandwidth efficiency while guaranteeing the same diversity order as that of the …

For full cooperative diversity gains to be achieved while still maintaining spectral and energy
efficiency, relay assignment schemes for cooperative communications have been …
