1 . Cooperative transmission has emerged as an effective tool to deal with channel impairments. In this work we study the applicability of amplify-and-forward cooperative transmiss...
—Multi-cell Cooperative Processing (MCP) has been recognised as an efficient technique for increasing spectral efficiency of future cellular systems. However the provided bene...
—One important application of cooperative communications is to extend coverage area in wireless networks without increasing infrastructure. However, a crucial challenge in implem...
In this letter, we address the problem of distributed multi-antenna cooperative transmission in a cellular system. Most research in this area has so far assumed that base stations ...
In current cellular networks base stations (BSs) usually perform independent scheduling without coordinating the resource allocation among different cells. This, however, often lea...
