To increase the life span of wireless sensor network, energy consumption must be minimized while satisfying given throughput and delay requirement. In this paper, we described an energy model based on cooperative MIMO scheme considering of both transmission and data aggregation energy is proposed for wireless sensor network. Based on this consequence, jointly considering both cooperative MIMO a...

Recent advances in cooperative communication and wireless Network Coding (NC) may lead to huge performance gains in relay systems. In this context, we focus on the two-way relay scenario, where two nodes exchange information via a common relay. We design a practical Superposition Coding (SC) based NC scheme for Decode-and-Forward (DF) half-duplex relaying, where the goal is to increase the achi...

It is expected that video streaming services will play an important role in 4G wireless systems. Since video communication has typically large and varying bandwidth requirements, high spectrum utilization techniques are needed to support high quality video. In this paper we propose a combination of Cooperative Header Compression (COHC) method with Multiple Description Coding (MDC), which introd...

In this paper we study the effect of diversity combining for Nakagami -m fading Channels in the amplify-and-forward cooperative networks.We derive the cumulative density function (CDF), probability density function (PDF) and moment generating function (MGF) for the multiple relay amplify –and-forward network with single half duplex channel maximal ratio combiner (MRC). In this network we invest...

Cooperative communication, which utilizes nearby terminals to relay the overhearing information to achieve the diversity gains, has a great potential to improve the transmitting efficiency in wireless networks. To deal with the complicated medium access interactions induced by relaying and leverage the benefits of such cooperation, an efficient Cooperative Medium Access Control (CMAC) protocol ...

This paper deals with power allocation strategies in a wireless personal area network (WPAN) supporting the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for low power transmission. The proposed transmission strategy for nodes belonging to a single primary route towards a destination is referred as Multihop Cooperative Transmission Chain (MCTC). The MCTC is based on the relays of the same message by multiple terminal...

The study of relaying systems has found renewed interest in the context of cooperative diversity for communication channels suffering from fading. This paper provides analytical expressions for the end-to-end SNR and outage probability of cooperative diversity in correlated lognormal channels, typically found in indoor and specific outdoor environments. The system under consideration utilizes d...

This work studies the performance of a cooperative network which consists of two channel-coded sources, multiple relays, and one destination. Due to spectral efficiency constraint, we assume only one time slot is dedicated for relaying. Conventional network coding based cooperation (NCC) selects the best relay which uses network coding to serve two sources simultaneously. The performance in ter...

The paper considers various relaying strategies for wireless networks. We comparatively discuss and analyse direct transmission, conventional “multihop” relaying, and the novel concepts of cooperative relaying from the viewpoint of system level performance. While conventional relaying exploits pathloss savings, cooperative relaying additionally takes two inherent advantages of relay-based syste...
