Evolution of Heterogeneous Wireless Networks: Towards Cooperative Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is very challenging to implement the envisioned beyond 3G and 4G based on the conventional cellular network architecture. So a central controlled peer-to-peer network architecture is proposed, which is based on the cooperation of coexisting heterogeneous wireless networks. In the advocated architecture, the mobile terminal is capable of cellular reception of data which is then forwarded or shared among mobile devices within each others’ proximity over the short-range link. Several cooperative network demonstrators have illustrated the great potential of cooperative networks. It is en emerging trend that coexisting heterogeneous wireless networks will evolve to cooperate with each other to facilitate the centrally controlled P2P cooperative networks.

Performance Analysis of Wireless Cooperative Networks with Iterative Incremental Relay Selection
In this paper, an iterative incremental relay selection (IIRS) scheme is considered for wireless cooperative networks in order to increase the reliability of transmission. Different from the conventional incremental relay selection which incrementally selects a best relay for only one iteration; the IIRS scheme iteratively applies the incremental relaying and relay selection processes. To evalu...

The wireless communication with delivering variety of services to users is growing rapidly in recent years. The third generation of cellular networks (3G), and local wireless networks (WLAN) are the two widely used technologies in wireless networks. 3G networks have the capability of covering a vast area; while, WLAN networks provide higher transmission rates with less coverage. Since the two n...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have many applications in the areas of commercial, military and environmental requirements. Regarding the deployment of low cost sensor nodes with restricted energy resources, these networks face a lot of security challenges. A basic approach for preparing a secure wireless communication in WSNs, is to propose an efficient cryptographic key management protocol be...
متن کاملThe Role of Regulatory in Price Control and Spectrum Allocation to Competing Wireless Access Networks
With the rapid growth of wireless access networks, various providers offer their services using different technologies such as Wi-Fi, Wimax, 3G, 4G and so on. These networks compete for the scarce wireless spectrum. The spectrum is considered to be a scarce resource moderated by the spectrum allocation regulatory (“regulatory” for short) which is the governance body aiming to maximize the socia...
