Abstract-- Due to the limited energy supplies of nodes in wireless networks, achieving energy efficiency is crucial for extending the lifetime of these networks. Thus, we study eff...
— We describe and analyze Minimum Path Difference (MPD), a metric to improve threshold-based Selection Decodeand-Forward (SDF) protocols in cooperative wireless networks with cha...

—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...
We propose a cooperative-diversity technique for ad hoc networks based on the decode-and-forward relaying strategy. We develop a MAC protocol based on slotted ALOHA that allows ne...
The existing credit-based mechanisms mainly focus on stimulating the rational packet droppers to relay other nodes' packets, but they cannot identify the irrational packet dro...
