Diversity, ie transmitting multiple replicas of a signal, may mitigate fading in wireless
networks. Among other diversity techniques, the space diversity of multi-antenna systems is …

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 …

Backscattering communications have been recently proposed as an effective enabling
technology for massive Internet of Things (IoT) development. A novel application of …

Buffer-aided relays can improve the diversity of multi-hop networks, however, they increase
packet delays. Thus, various delay-aware protocols have been developed, but without …

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 …

Relay-assisted cooperative wireless communication has been shown to have significant
performance gains over the legacy direct transmission scheme. Compared with single relay …

In recent years, there has been an upsurge of research interest in cooperative wireless
communications in both academia and industry. This article presents a simple overview of …

We investigate the impact of cooperative relaying on uplink multi-user (MU) wireless video
transmissions. We analyze and simplify a MU Markov decision process (MDP), whose …

A performance analysis of distributed space-time block coding (STBC) schemes involving
multiple decode-and-forward relays is carried out in the case of Middleton class-A impulsive …

This paper investigates the buffer-aided relay selection issue for achieving physical layer
security (PLS) in two-hop wireless networks with Decode-and-Forward (DF) relays …
