A Cooperation-Aware Routing Scheme for Fast Varying Fading Wireless Channels
Daniel de O. Cunha, Otto Carlos M. B. Duarte, Guy Pujolle · IEEE Communications Letters · 2008
In this letter, we propose a cooperation-aware routing scheme based on long-term statistics of cooperative links. The proposed scheme fully exploits cooperation on fading scenarios and proves to be more efficient than greedy cooperation-aware routing based on instantaneous link conditions. Moreover, the performance improvement is even higher when cooperative and non-cooperative nodes coexist.
