Cooperative MIMO Communications in Wireless Ad Hoc Rayleigh Fading Networks

In this paper addresses Rayleigh fading networks, and in particular, wireless ad-hoc and sensor networks over Rayleigh fading channels. First, we will model Rayleigh fading networks and show how to map the wireless fading channel to the upper layer parameters for cross-layer design. Based on the developed fading network model, we will consider two scarce resources of wireless networks, namely e...

Throughput-optimal scheduling for cooperative relaying in wireless access networks

This article considers the cooperation between base station and relay stations to increase system throughput in time-slotted relaying wireless networks, such as dynamic time division multiple access systems. We focus on optimal throughput scheduling policies for the cooperative relaying at the network layer level. It is shown that the resulting policy for this cooperative protocol obtains the o...

Power Management for Throughput Enhancement in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks

In this paper we introduce the notion of power management within the context of wireless ad-hoc networks. More specifically, we investigate the effects of using different transmit powers on the average power consumption and end-to-end network throughput in a wireless ad-hoc environment. This power management approach would help in reducing the system power consumption and hence prolonging the b...
