Wireless communication in the 5G era has to meet challenging goals such as huge target
data rates, ultra-low latency, massive connectivity, and several other requirements. In the …

Applying relays employed with data buffers drastically enhance the performance of
cooperative networks. However, lengthening the packet delay is still a serious challenge for …

This letter tackles decode-and-forward (DF) buffer-aided (BA) relaying networks. We
propose a novel technique for leveraging the performance of such networks through relay …

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 …

Motivated by the recent buffer-aided cooperative protocols that select the single best link at
each time slot, in this paper we introduce additional design degree of freedom into them, by …

Cooperative communication can increase the throughput and/or extend the coverage of
wireless networks. However, in conventional cooperative networks, half-duplex relays …

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

Buffer-Aided (BA) relaying has shown tremendous performance improvements in terms of
throughput and outage probability, although it has been criticized of suffering from long …

This paper analyzes the performance of a buffer-aided multi-hop relaying system using the
max-link relay selection scheme for decode-and-forward cooperative networks. A Markov …

Buffer-aided relaying, which combines relay selection and packet buffering, has recently
been studied to mitigate throughput and multiplexing gain loss of two-hop relaying protocols …
