Cooperative communications enable efficient utilization of communication resources, by
allowing nodes or terminals in a communication network to collaborate with each other in …

Cooperative communications have recently been migrated to one of state-of-the-art features
of 3GPP LTE-Advanced (LTE-A). Cooperative communications fundamentally change the …

Cooperative and relay communications have recently become the most widely explored
topics in communications, whereby users cooperate in transmitting their messages to the …

Cooperative communication has been shown as an effective way to exploit spatial diversity
to improve the quality of wireless links. The key feature of cooperative transmission is to …

Cooperative relaying recently emerged as a viable option for future wireless networks. By
simultaneously exploiting path loss savings known from relaying scenarios and the diversity …

Abstract The Third Generation Partnership Project's Long Term Evolution-Advanced is
considering relaying for cost-effective throughput enhancement and coverage extension …

Cooperative communications is a class of techniques that seek to improve reliability and
throughput in wireless systems by pooling the resources of distributed nodes. Although …

We consider various relaying strategies for wireless networks by comparatively examining
direct transmission, conventional relaying, and the novel concepts of cooperative relaying …

This article outlines one way to address these problems by using the notion of cooperation
between wireless nodes. In cooperative communications, multiple nodes in a wireless …

Space, cost, and signal processing constraints, among others, often preclude the use of
multiple antennas at wireless terminals. This paper investigates distributed decode-and …
