Abstract: Various results to date have demonstrated the advantages of one or several relay nodes assisting transmissions in a wireless network. In many practical scenarios, not all nodes in the network are simultaneously involved in every transmission; therefore, protocols are needed to form groups or subsets of nodes for the purposes of cooperation. We consider this problem in the context of regenerative nodes and non-altruistic cooperation (all nodes have data of their own to transmit). For a network-wide diversity advantage, the protocol must provide each transmitting node with enough "partners" that can decode its message with high-enough probability. Assuming that the nodes cannot communicate their control decisions (distributed scenario), and that each node chooses to help n other nodes, we point out a simple, static selection strategy that guarantees diversity n+1 for all transmissions. We then consider centralized control strategies and study the additional gains that arise from a central control, under various amounts of information being available to the central controller.

Power Allocation and Group Assignment for Reducing Network Coding Noise in Multi-Unicast Wireless Systems
TL;DR: From the simulation results, the proposed joint group assignment and power-allocation scheme achieves up to 64% overall data rate gain for the multi-unicast system compared with a single-group system with no relay power assignment.

Heterogeneous Relay Selection
TL;DR: The relay selection results in homogeneous networks (where relays are all of the same type) are extended to include the presence of a source-destination link and the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff is calculated.
Opportunistic Wireless Relay Networks: Diversity-Multiplexing Tradeoff
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of many opportunistic relay networks has been unknown in part because opportunistic analysis relies on independence assumptions that break down in many interesting and useful network topologies.

Cooperative diversity in wireless networks: Efficient protocols and outage behavior

User cooperation diversity. Part I. System description
TL;DR: Results show that, even though the interuser channel is noisy, cooperation leads not only to an increase in capacity for both users but also to a more robust system, where users' achievable rates are less susceptible to channel variations.

Capacity theorems for the relay channel
Thomas M. Cover,Abbas El Gamal +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the capacity of the Gaussian relay channel was investigated, and a lower bound of the capacity was established for the general relay channel, where the dependence of the received symbols upon the inputs is given by p(y,y) to both x and y. In particular, the authors proved that if y is a degraded form of y, then C \: = \: \max \!p(x,y,x,2})} \min \,{I(X,y), I(X,Y,Y,X,Y
Distributed space-time-coded protocols for exploiting cooperative diversity in wireless networks
J.N. Laneman,Gregory W. Wornell +1 more
TL;DR: This work develops and analyzes space-time coded cooperative diversity protocols for combating multipath fading across multiple protocol layers in a wireless network and demonstrates that these protocols achieve full spatial diversity in the number of cooperating terminals, not just theNumber of decoding relays, and can be used effectively for higher spectral efficiencies than repetition-based schemes.
