Preface

Cooperative wireless networks have emerged as a promising technology that allows wireless devices to take advantage of diversity and the broadcast nature of wireless medium. Nonetheless, some important issues remain to be addressed to enable practical implementation. In particular, with the fast-growing mobile traffic and rising energy costs, energy saving needs to be taken into account in the design of cooperative protocols. In addition, many designs and analyses assume that the locations of cooperative wireless nodes are deterministic or known a priori. However, due to user mobility and/or network dynamics, the node locations are spatially random. Hence, this feature should be properly incorporated into the protocol design and analysis for cooperative wireless networks. In this book brief, we focus on the design and analysis of protocols for cooperative wireless networks, especially, at the medium acce
