Preface

Distributed space-time coding (DSTC) is a cooperative relaying scheme that enables high reliability in data transmission for wireless networks. It has been immensely successful and naturally attracted considerable attention from researchers since its introduction about one decade ago. Numerous publications have been devoted to this topic. However, an introductory text exclusively on this topic is still unavailable today, leaving aspiring researchers and students new to this field struggling with the scattered literature and
