The wireless transmission of layered signals, in a described embodiment, uses multiple
relay nodes (304) to implement cooperative diversity. The method includes:(i) receiving …

A communications system includes a source, a destination, and multiple relays. In a first time
period, the source emits a first transmission and a first relay retransmits a prior source …

Providing for soft error decoding for wireless relay networks is described herein. By way of
example, a wireless node in a wireless relay network can receive a direct signal from a …

A signal for relay is received from a first node. From a local memory that stores K transform
matrices (K being an integer greater than one) is selected a transform matrix that is …
