4.1 INTRODUCTION
In wireless networks, the broadcast nature of wireless transmission enables
cooperation by sharing the same transmissions with nearby receivers and thus
can help improve spatial reuse and boost network throughput along a multi-
hop routing. The performance of wireless networks can be further improved
if prior information available at the receivers can be utilized to achieve per-
fect interference subtraction. In this section, we investigate performance gain
on network throughput for wireless cooperati ...
