Extending lifetime of battery-operated devices is a key design issue that allows
uninterrupted information exchange among distributed nodes in wireless networks …

Node cooperation is an emerging and powerful solution that can overcome the limitation of
wireless systems as well as improve the capacity of the next generation wireless networks …

In this letter, we consider a rural area cellular framework in which a relay-based free space
optical (FSO) configuration is assumed for the backhaul. We assume orthogonal frequency …

In this paper, we consider the problem of stimulating cooperation and resource allocation in
cooperative transmission networks. We formulate this problem as a sellers' market …

A pricing-based non-cooperative game is proposed to stimulate cooperation and perform
spectrum allocation in multi-relay cooperative transmission networks. The authors construct …

In this paper, a cell zooming based dynamic base stations (BS) switching scheme is
conceived for energy saving in cellular networks. A cell zooming algorithm is developed for …

We explore range expansion along an appointed direction using a fixed number of mobile
nodes that do distributed multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) in the diversity configuration …

User cooperation is a powerful solution that can significantly improve the reliability of
wireless networks by using several relays to achieve diversity gains. There has been a lot of …

This article addresses the design problem of selecting an appropriate relay in amplify-and-
forward (AF) cooperative diversity systems. In this regard, this article focuses on relay …

In this thesis, a distributed extremum seeking and cooperative control algorithm is designed
for mobile agents to disperse themselves optimally in maintaining communication quality …
