Energy Efficient Cooperative Wireless Communication and Networks

Compared with conventional communications, cooperative communication allows multiple users or stations in a wireless network to coordinate their packet transmissions and share each other's resources, thus achieving high-performance gain and better service coverage and reliability. This book introduces effective cooperative wireless communication schemes, to help readers improve energy efficiency, reliability, and end-to-end protocol design of wireless communication systems. Complete with algorithms and tips for effective design, the book includes many examples and best practices to facilitate understanding.
