In order to fully utilize spectrum resource in wireless mesh networks (WMNs), we propose a
combination of some popular communication techniques, including link scheduling, spatial …

Network coding is an emerging technique of packet forwarding that encodes the packets at
the relay node to increase the throughput of a relaying network. Analog network coding …

Network-coded cooperative communication (NC-CC) has been proposed and evaluated as
a powerful technology that can provide a better quality of service in the next-generation …

In this paper, we consider physical-layer network coding (PNC) in a multi-unicast wireless
cooperative network with a single relay. We aim to deal with the NC noise, ie, an additional …

Cooperative communication (CC) can offer high channel capacity and reliability in an
efficient and low-cost way by forming a virtual antenna array among single-antenna nodes …

Cooperative communication effectively enhances the channel capacity of wireless networks
by allowing some single-antenna nodes to relay data for other nodes. In such a …

Network-coded cooperative communications (NC-CC) is a new paradigm in wireless
networks that employs network coding (NC) to improve the performance of CC. The core …

In this paper, we propose a new MAC (medium access control) protocol called enhanced
cooperative communication MAC (ECCMAC) based on IEEE 802.11. The major objective of …

The rapidly developed wireless services and applications have an increasing demand of
spectrum resource, which is actually limited. Therefore, how to allocate spectrum resource …

In this paper, we consider a Rayleigh fading half-duplex system where multiple source-
destination pairs communicate with the help of a single relay. The relay performs the analog …
