The diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) is one of the most important criteria to evaluate the
performance of wireless relay networks. Previous work shows that, compared to decode-and …

This work studies the effective capacities of dualhop networks with relay selection. The
source uses buffer to store the arrival packets. For non-buffer relays, they forward the …

Successive relaying has recently emerged as an effective technique for cooperative
networks and provides significant improvements in bandwidth efficiency over traditional …

Cooperative link layer protocols are typically used in single hop networks to enhance the
link layer capabilities using a special node, called relay. In multi-hop networks, a frame is …

Multi-hop relaying has attracted considerable attention recently as a key technique for
improving cell coverage and throughput in wireless communication. We modelled various …

This paper presents an analysis of the achievable effective capacity of a dual-hop network
with buffer-aided source and relays using a concurrent relay selection protocol. The source …

Cooperative relaying enables nodes to actively cooperate to deliver packets to their
destination. The best-select protocol (BSP) implements a type of cooperative relaying that …

The outage probability of multi-hop amplify-and-forward relay systems with multiple relays is
analyzed. Previously, the outage probability of the two-hop system with multiple relays had …

Buffer-aided relay networks provide more reliability and coverage in future wireless
communications. Therefore, this paper investigates a buffer-aided cooperative relaying …

The impact of multi-hopping schemes on the communication latency in a relay channel is
studied. The main aim is to characterize conditions under which such schemes decrease the …
