12.1 CONTRIBUTIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
The main focus of this book has been the development of performance effec-
tive algorithms for cooperative wireless networks. The performance of co-
operative communication is measured based on various criteria, such as co-
operative region, average power ratio, ETE reliability (outage), ETE energy
consumption, ETE throughput, and ETE delay. In the following sections, we
briefly highlight the important contributions and conclusions of this work.
