We show by means of stochastic geometry that interference dynamics has a strong impact on the performance of cooperative relaying. For both conventional and multi-hop-aware cooperative relaying we show that the packet delivery probability significantly changes with the dependence of interference among the links. Depending on the scenario under consideration, this change could be either an increase or decrease of the packet delivery probability. Especially for multi-hop-aware cooperative relaying, the performance gain is heavily reduced when interference possesses high temporal and spatial dependence.
