The basic idea behind cooperative communications is to establish reliable communication between the source and destination with the help of intermediate nodes, which help or aid communication between the source and destination. Besides the transmitte

In this paper, we first propose an optimum relay ordering algorithm for the multi-branch multi-hop cooperative diversity networks. This optimum algorithm has a high complexity that makes it hard to implement. Therefore, a suboptimum relay ordering al

Wireless communication systems are traditionally conceptualized such that users individually commu- nicate with the associated base station and vice versa. Cooperation is referred to as any architecture that deviates from this traditional approac
