Medium Access Control (MAC) policies in which the scheduling time slots are allocated irrespectively of the underline topology are suitable for ad-hoc networks, where nodes can ent...
— The demand for even higher data rates in future mobile communications systems calls for new techniques capable of improving the performance of cellular systems. One possibility...
Abstract— We propose the QoS-driven opportunistic cooperation schemes for the wireless relay networks. By integrating information theory with the concept of effective capacity, o...
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are an emerging architecture based on multi-hop transmission. ISPs considers WMNs as a potential future technology to offer broadband Internet acces...
—In wireless networks, node cooperation has been exploited as a data relaying mechanism for decades. However, the wireless channel allows for much richer interaction among nodes....
