Abstract— Cooperative transmission is an emerging communication technique that takes advantages of spatial diversity and broadcast natures of wireless channels to improve wireles...
Abstract-- Two-tier networks, comprising a conventional cellular network overlaid with shorter range hotspots (e.g. femtocells, distributed antennas, or wired relays), offer an eco...
—Spectrum access is an important function of cognitive radios for detecting and utilizing spectrum holes without harming the legacy systems. In this paper, we propose novel coope...
Heterogeneous multihop wireless networks such as wireless mesh networks consist of a set of resource-constrained mobile nodes that want to communicate with each other and a set of...
Recently, wireless local area network (WLAN) hotspots have been deployed in many areas (e.g., cafes, airports, university campuses). The new IEEE 802.11e standard further provides...
