— Multiuser diversity is a phenomenon caused by channel variations among different users in a wireless network. Cooperative relaying provides another form of diversity due to the...
Abstract--Cooperative transmission protocols over fading channels are based on a number of relaying nodes to form virtual multiantenna transmissions. Diversity provided by these te...
—In a distributed wireless network, it is possible to employ several relays and mimic a multiple antenna transmission system. In this paper we propose a MAC layer solution that a...
