Concentrating solely on the PHY layer of wireless communication networks, Cooperative Communications: The Physical Layer: offers application scenarios for cooperative and distributed schemes to explain how such techniques can be employed. The author defines important concepts and terms in order to harmonise understanding of these complex technologies and terminology amongst readers and discusses background and milestone contributions to PHY algorithms. The book then addresses hardware issues and what cannot be achieved; it shows channel models to differ significantly from more traditional channel models and explainsthe reliance of PHY algorithm performance on underlying channel models. Finally, Dohler introduces the various transparent relaying methods, and regenerative relaying methods, for a variety of single carrier and cooperative schemes and highlights future research challenges within the field
