This monograph reviews progress in cooperative communication networks. A representative sample of recent results are assembled to serve as a roadmap for the area.
One of the steps to provide fundamental data for planning a mining effort is the magnetic surveying of a target area, which is typically carried out by conventional aircraft campaigns.
The fifth generation mobile networks will be developed to improve area spectral and energy efficiency, and provide uniform user experience.
Cooperative diversity between satellite and terrestrial networks is an effective technique to increase the availability of satellite communications under fading conditions.
Allocating channel resources according to the users' channel states can significantly improve the performance of multiuser communication.
Heterogeneous networks are gaining more and more interest as one means to cope with the expected data rise in future mobile networks.
Existing studies are to a great extent focus on energy saving mechanisms of individual customers, independently, from other energy consumers.
We consider the problem of characterizing per node throughput scaling in arbitrary extended wireless networks.
Cooperative communication has become an efficient technology to improve the spatial diversity. Among this, relay assignment significantly affects power consumption of the entire network.
Coding strategies that exploit terminal cooperation are developed for relay networks.
