Energy Efficient Cooperative Wireless Communication and Networks

<p>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. <strong>Energy Efficient Cooperative Wireless Communication and Networks </strong>provides a comprehensive look at energy efficiency and system design of cooperative wireless communication.<br><br>Introducing effective cooperative wireless communication schemes the book supplies the understanding and methods required to improve energy efficiency reliability and end-to-end protocol designs for wireless communication systems. It explains the practical benefits and limitations of cooperative transmissions along with the associated designs of upper-layer protocols including MAC routing and transport protocol.<br><br>The book considers power efficiency 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 benefits of given transmissions against network costs. <br><br>Because the techniques detailed in each chapter can help readers achieve energy efficiency 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.<br><br>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 efficient wireless networks with improved service coverage and reliability.</p>
