This article reviews progress in cooperative communication networks. Our survey is by no
means exhaustive. Instead, we assemble a representative sample of recent results to serve …

We propose Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) code designs for the half-duplex relay
channel. Our designs are based on the information theoretic random coding scheme for …

This paper describes an efficient implementation of binning for decode-and-forward (DF) in
relay channels using low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Bilayer LDPC codes are …

Future generations of cellular communications requires higher data rates and a more
reliable transmission link with the growth of multimedia services, while keeping satisfactory …

We exploit the capacity approaching capability of low density parity check (LDPC) codes to
design coding schemes for relay channels. We consider the classical relay channel model …

We treat the problem of designing low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes to approach the
capacity of relay channels. We consider an efficient analysis framework that decouples the …

The goal of this article is to discuss the implementation of two cooperative protocols-decode-
and-forward (DF) and estimate-and-forward (EF). In each case, the starting point is an …

Quantize-map-and-forward (QMF) is a relaying scheme that has been shown to achieve the
capacity of Gaussian relay networks to within a constant gap. Under QMF the compression …

This paper describes a methodology for efficient implementation of binning and block-
Markov coding for the relay channel using powerful features of low-density parity-check …

We propose a practical coding scheme for half-duplex estimate-and-forward relaying. The
proposed construction is guided by the information theoretic coding scheme for the estimate …
