Cooperative diversity has gained much interest due to its ability to mitigate multipath fading
without using multiple antennas. There has been considerable research on how cooperative …

Facilitating Cooperation for Wireless Systems Cooperative Communications: Hardware,
Channel & PHY focuses on issues pertaining to the PHY layer of wireless communication …

In this paper, we present a survey of cooperative diversity-enabled Medium Access Control
(MAC) protocols for Wireless LANs (WLANs) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) …

In cooperative relaying, intermediate stations are required to enhance the end-to-end
transmission performance. The performance of the cooperative relaying scheme has been …

We evaluate the packet delivery performance of low-complex cooperative relaying in car-to-
car communications by real-world measurements. The ratio and temporal correlation of …

Many cooperative relaying systems combine signals received over multiple paths. For this
task, in literature usually maximum ratio combining (MRC), or one of its derivatives, is …

Cooperative relaying is a communication technique that has been shown to improve link
reliability between communicating entities. Most results in this area are obtained either …

Letting users cooperate is a promising approach to improve reliability and throughput in
wireless networks, but it has not yet made the transition into practice. Unlike conventional …

In multi-hop cooperative communications, multiple relay stations are used at each hop in
order to enhance transmission performance. In previous studies, transceivers have been …

Rate adaptation based on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measurements is a common channel
adaptation scheme to increase throughput in wireless communication systems. To use rate …
