The energy and time efficiency of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is frequently affected by
the low reliability of their links. To mitigate the outage probability, cooperation topologies are …

Ever since the idea of buffers was incorporated in wireless communications, buffer‐aided
relaying has become an emerging breakthrough in the world of transmitting and receiving …

In this paper, we consider bidirectional relay networks in which two users exchange
information only via a relay node, ie, a direct link between both users is not present. We …

Buffer-aided relaying has recently attracted a lot of attention due to the improvement in the
system throughput. However, a side effect usually deemed is that buffering at relay nodes …

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

This piece of work presents a novel design for buffer-aided relaying to increase the diversity
gain. In this design, we used random buffer access method and associate each buffer …

In this paper, we study energy-efficient resource allocation in the downlink of buffer-aided
wireless relay networks. We aim at maximizing the system average energy efficiency while …

In this study, the authors consider a two‐hop network, where multiple source nodes (SNs)
transmit to a destination node (DN) with the aid of a relay node (RN). The RN is equipped …

A buffer-aided two hop link is studied, where the RN is capable of temporarily storing the
received packets. We commerce by defining the concept of a two-dimensional Channel …

Cooperative communications can substantially improve the performance in fading channels.
However, in energy-constrained wireless sensor networks, the benefits of cooperation only …
