Cooperative relaying may be used to improve the lifetime of a wireless sensor network and
decrease the total transmit energy expenditure in a wireless sensor network where the …

Selection of an appropriate relaying partner can be used to increase the network lifetime of a
wireless sensor network. In this paper, the effectiveness of cooperative relaying in an IEEE …

We present a novel cross-layer approach in minimizing energy consumption for multi-hop
cooperative sensor networks, under the end-to-end reliability QoS requirement. Taking into …

Most of current works related to relay selection algorithms in cooperative communications
use the Channel State Information (CSI) to decide whether to use one or another neighbor …

Most existing studies on cooperative relay in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) concentrate
on link capacity or symbol error rate (SER) constrained power allocation. We advance the …

Energy efficiency (EE) is an important factor for the deployment of wireless sensor networks.
Cooperative communication can help to reduce energy consumption for long distance data …

In this paper, we propose a relay selection scheme based on cooperative MIMO (multi-input-
multi-output) communication for network lifetime maximization in energy-constrained sensor …

We assume a wireless sensor network (WSN) having differently spaced nodes or relays at
every place, and a two step transition of information from source to relay (nodes) and from …

Wireless sensor networks are composed of many small distributed battery–powered sensor
nodes, so reducing the energy consumption in each node to increase network lifetime is …

An effective technique to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is
to make use of cooperative communications between nodes. In this technique, all nodes …
