—In this paper, we propose a novel protocol called VC-MAC that utilizes the concept of cooperative communication tailored for vehicular networks, especially for gateway downloadi...
Using relays in wireless networks can potentially lead to significant capacity increases. However, within an asynchronous multi-user communication setting, relaying might cause mor...
Abstract--Cooperative communications have been demonstrated to be effective in combating the multiple fading effects in wireless networks, and improving the network performance in ...
