In future wireless networks devices may cooperate to form logical links. Each of these links
may consist of several independent physical channels which are shared by the cooperating …

Extensive research has been done to achieve better throughput and reliability in wireless
networks, being mostly focused on multiple-input multiple-output systems. Recently …

In recent years, a new paradigm for communication called cooperative communications has
been proposed for which initial information theoretic studies have shown the potential for …

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 …

Cooperative communication (CC) has been introduced as an effective technique to combat
the detrimental effects of channel fading by exploiting spatial diversity gain, resulting in …

In this paper, we study medium access control (MAC) protocol design for distributed
cooperative wireless networks. We focus on beneficial node cooperation by addressing two …
