Cooperative beamforming is an energy-efficient cooperative transmission technique that cophases multiple received signals to increase received power at the destination. With perfect synchronization, a deterministic mainlobe in the direction of the destination can be guaranteed for any distribution of nodes. However, the sidelobes appear to be probabilistic in other directions. A high-power-level sidelobe...
Contention-based geographic relay selection for cooperative networks has been proposed as a state-free distributed scheme to efficiently select the best relay within a geographic area. The a priori choices for the relaying area cause different effects on the overall network performance. In this paper, we focus on the fundamental problem of predefining the relaying area and investigate its impact on...
Cooperative relaying has been proposed as a promising transmission technique that effectively creates spatial diversity through cooperation among spatially distributed nodes. However, to achieve efficient communications while gaining full benefits from cooperation, more interactions at higher protocol layers, particularly the MAC (Medium Access Control) and network layers, are vitally required. This...
Most of geographic routing approaches in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks do not take into consideration the medium access control (MAC) and physical layers when designing a routing protocol. In this paper, we focus on a cross-layer framework design that exploits the synergies between network, MAC, and physical layers. In the proposed CoopGeo, we use a beaconless forwarding scheme where the next...
In this paper, we propose a novel relay selection scheme based on geographical information, aiming to minimize the symbol error probability (SEP) for wireless ad hoc relay networks. The proposed scheme utilizes only the source-relay and relay-destination distances as selection criteria to choose the best relay. In particular, such geographical information is often available during network initialization...
