5.1 INTRODUCTION
A large ETE throughput does not necessarily result in a small ETE trans-
mission delay. The size of each packet and type of transmission schedule
also play important roles in network performance. In this section, we em-
ploy an error exponent model [31] to study the transmission time of wireless
networks using decode-and-forward (DAF), amplify-and-forward (AF), and
multi-hop (MH) cooperative protocols.
