A Cooperative Mac For Energy Efficient Relying
Darshana N. Tambe, Priya N. Tambe · 2012
LTE-A based system used fixed relays which are not suitable for wireless network. In wireless network terminal relays is most beneficial scheme but it is typically battery operated with limited processing and transmission capabilities. To reduce energy consumption an energy efficient cooperative medium access control protocol has been used which maximize the networks lifetime. In this scheme the best relay candidate broadcast a beacon message in order to inform all other candidate relays about its cooperative transmission for preventing collision and saving energy consumption of wireless network. 1.
