Cognitive relays form a special cooperation relationship among users in cognitive radio networks, and help increase the transmission rates of both primary users and secondary user...
— We describe and analyze Minimum Path Difference (MPD), a metric to improve threshold-based Selection Decodeand-Forward (SDF) protocols in cooperative wireless networks with cha...
