Cooperative Cellular Wireless Networks

A self-contained guide to the state-of-the-art in cooperative communications and networking techniques for next generation cellular wireless systems, this comprehensive book provides a succinct understanding of the theory, fundamentals and techniques involved in achieving efficient cooperative wireless communications in cellular wireless networks. It consolidates the essential information, addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of cooperative communications and networking in the context of cellular design. This one-stop resource covers the basics of cooperative communications techniques for cellular systems, advanced transceiver design, relay-based cellular networks, and game-theoretic and micro-economic models for protocol design in cooperative cellular wireless networks. Details of ongoing standardization activities are also included. With contributions from experts in the field divided into five distinct sections, this easy-to-follow book delivers the background needed to develop and implement cooperative mechanisms for cellular wireless networks. 'Edited by three of the most prominent experts in the field of co-operative communications, this is the defining book on this topic. It is a must have for any practising researcher/engineer in this field.' Vahid Tarokh, Harvard University 'Cooperative communications has been one of the most active areas of research in the communications field over the past decade. This research effort has now produced a significant body of work in the area, and this book is a valuable resource for students or practitioners wanting to enter the field, or simply to understand the scope and implications of the research.'
