Using relays in wireless networks can potentially lead to significant capacity increases. However, within an asynchronous multi-user communication setting, relaying might cause mor...
Cooperative relaying methods can improve wireless links, but introduce overhead due to relay selection and resource reservation compared to non-cooperative transmission. In order t...

—In this paper, we propose a novel protocol called VC-MAC that utilizes the concept of cooperative communication tailored for vehicular networks, especially for gateway downloadi...
The predominate traffic patterns in a wireless sensor network are many-to-one and one-to-many communication. Hence, the performance of wireless sensor networks is characterized by ...
