Reduction of Buffering Requirements: Another Advantage of Cooperative Transmission

Yet another advent of cooperative transmission is exposed in this paper. It is shown that cooperation lends itself to the reduction of buffer sizes of wireless sensor nodes. It is less likely to find the channel busy when cooperative transmission is employed in the network. Otherwise, in the lack of...

Description
Summary:Yet another advent of cooperative transmission is exposed in this paper. It is shown that cooperation lends itself to the reduction of buffer sizes of wireless sensor nodes. It is less likely to find the channel busy when cooperative transmission is employed in the network. Otherwise, in the lack of cooperation, the probability of build up of packet queues in transmission buffers increases.
