Energy Efficient Cooperative Wireless Communication and Networks

Digital & Wireless Communications

Compared with conventional communications, cooperative communication allows

multiple users in a wireless network to coordinate their packet transmissions

and share each other’s resources, thus achieving high-performance gain and

better service coverage and reliability. Energy Efcient Cooperative Wireless

Communication and Networks provides a comprehensive look at energy

efciency and system design of cooperative wireless communication.

Introducing effective cooperative wireless communication schemes, the book

supplies the understanding and methods required to improve energy efciency,

reliability, and end-to-end protocol designs for wireless communication systems.

It explains the practical benets and limitations of cooperative transmissions

along with the associated designs of upper-layer protocols, including MAC,

routing, and transport protocol.

The book considers power efciency as a main objective in cooperative

communication to ensure quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. It explains

how to bring the performance gain at the physical layer up to the network layer

and how to allocate network resources dynamically through MAC/scheduling

and routing to trade off the performance benets of given transmissions against

network costs.

Because the techniques detailed in each chapter can help readers achieve energy

efciency and reliability in wireless networks, they have the potential to impact

a range of industry areas, including wireless communication, wireless sensor

networks, and ad hoc networks.

The book includes numerous examples, best practices, and models that capture

key issues in real-world applications. Along with algorithms and tips for

effective design, the book supplies the understanding you will need to achieve

high-performing and energy efcient wireless networks with improved service

coverage and reliability.
