Abstract— Cooperative communications has received increasing attention in recent years because of the ubiquity of wireless devices. Each year more mobile computing devices enter ...
—This paper aims at answering the questions of how to enable cooperative communications in random access networks. And, since cooperation introduces extra transmissions in the ch...
Abstract— Data gathering is one of the most important services provided by wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Since the predominant traffic pattern in data gathering services is m...
Cooperative communications is a class of techniques which seek to improve reliability and throughput in wireless systems by pooling the resources of distributed nodes. While coope...
A random access protocol named ALLIANCES was recently proposed, that achieves high throughput by resolving collisions in wireless networks. ALLIANCES exploits diversity provided b...
