Cooperative devices are growing in value with respect to wireless communications and networks. They substantially enhance system performance by decreasing power consumption and packet loss rate, and increasing system capacity and network resilience. This book introduces key cooperative strategies and the vital background information needed for development and implementation of cooperative mechanisms in both infrastructure-based and wireless systems as well as self-organizing, multi-hop networks. Beneficial to academia and industry professionals, this essential reference concentrates on a variety of cooperative mechanisms, the cooperation frameworks in diverse scenarios, and the recent advances in the system performance of wireless networks.
