Cooperative communication can increase the throughput and/or extend coverage of wireless networks. However, in conventional cooperative networks, half-duplex relays transmit and receive under a prefixed schedule, which does not allow them to exploit best receiving transmitting channels, thus limiting performance. Recently, new protocols have been proposed that circumvent this problem by making use additional flexibility offered with buffers. Compared relaying protocols, these buffer-aided...
