We analyze wireless ad hoc networks that use cooperative diversity from two
complementary perspectives. The network we consider uses the amplify-and-forward (AF) …

In wireless ad hoc networks, nodes communicate with far off destinations using intermediate
nodes as relays. Since wireless nodes are energy constrained, it may not be in the best …

Cooperative communication (CC) is a technique that exploits spatial diversity allowing
multiple nodes to cooperatively relay signals to the receiver so that it can combine the …

In this paper, we study the differences of applying cooperation to fully-connected and multi-
hop wireless networks, and find out that both the enlarged interference area and link density …

The motivation of this article is to clarify and help resolve the gap between the link
abstraction used in traditional wireless networking and its much broader definition used in …

Cooperation has proved to be an effective technique for improving the performance and the
efficiency of wireless networks. Most of the existing work on cooperation focuses on the …

In wireless ad hoc networks, nodes communicate with far off destinations using intermediate
nodes as relays. Since wireless nodes are energy constrained, it may not be in the best …

Cooperation between the nodes of wireless multihop networks can increase communication
reliability, reduce energy consumption, and decrease latency. The possible improvements …

For a wireless network with n nodes distributed in an area A, with n source-destination pairs
communicating with each other at some common rate, the hierarchical cooperation scheme …
