It is of great importance for service providers to improve the coverage area without cost of
more infrastructure in wireless networks especially in rural areas. Recently, cooperative …

In this cellular network, Relay Stations (RSs) help to improve the system performance;
however, little work has been done considering the fairness of RSs. In this paper, we study …

The 5th Generation mobile system was featured as ultra-reliable and low-latency
communications, which could support applications for industrial verticals. However, as to …

As wireless communication services continue to advance, the demand for reliability and
latency has become increasingly stringent. This is especially crucial in areas like personal …

In this paper, we consider an amplify-and-forward cooperative network composed of N
nodes. Here we focus on the scheduling problem which consists in assigning the roles …

The cooperative relay protocol is investigated in heterogeneous wireless networks. To
analyze the handover impact of a cooperative relay node on a heterogeneous environment …

In next generation mobile multimedia communications, different wireless access networks
are expected to cooperate. However, it is a challenging task to choose an optimal …

We propose a hybrid scheduling scheme which can efficiently support various types of traffic
in a cooperative relay system of downlink cellular networks. The hybrid scheduling scheme …

In a multihop wireless network, it is crucial but challenging to schedule transmissions in an
efficient and fair manner. In this paper, a novel distributed node scheduling algorithm, called …

Cooperative communication is a promising technique to improve wireless network's capacity
