Recent research formalizes cooperative communication as belief transport using the mathematical theory of optimal transport. This formalization allows rigorous a priori analysis statistical and ecological properties models communication, unification prior their differences, promising directions for future research. applies idea to by viewing beliefs resource be moved observable data, where cost...

Cooperative communication in wireless networks has become more and more attractive recently since it could mitigate the particularly severe channel impairments arising from multipath propagation. Here the greater benefits gained by exploiting spatial diversity in the channel. In this paper, an overview on cooperative communication in wireless networks is presented. We inscribe the benefits of c...

Though cooperative communication has been intensively examined for general wireless systems, such as mobile and ad-hoc networks, it has been almost unexplored in the case of Space-Time-Frequency Coded Multi-band OFDM Ultra-Wideband (STFC MB-OFDM UWB). This paper proposes a framework of cooperative communication in such systems where nodes are equipped with only one antenna. Simulation results s...

Cooperative relay communication in a fading channel environment under the orthogonal amplify-and-forward (OAF), non-orthogonal and orthogonal selection decode-andforward (NSDF and OSDF) protocols is considered here. The diversity-multiplexing gain tradeoff (DMT) of the three protocols is determined and DMT-optimal distributed space-time code constructions are provided. The codes constructed are...

Game theoretical analyses of communication (e.g. Lewis, Crawford & Sobel) demand cooperation between conversational partners for reliable information exchange to take place. Similarly, in pragmatics, the theory of language use, it is standard to assume that communication is a cooperative affair. Recently, this standard view has come under attack by Durcot and Merin, and it has been proposed tha...

In pragmatics, the theory of language use, it is standard to assume that communication is a cooperative affair. Recently, this standard view has come under attack by Ducrot and Merin, and it has been proposed that an argumentative view on natural language use is more appropriate. In this paper I discuss to what extent this attack is justified and whether the alternative view can provide a more ...

In this paper, we address the issue of rational communication behavior among autonomous agents. We extend our previously reported cooperative hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL) algorithm to include communication decision and propose a new multiagent HRL algorithm, called COM-Cooperative HRL. In this algorithm, at specific levels of the hierarchy, called cooperation levels, a group of sub...

144 INTRODUCTION The field of telecommunication networks involves exchange of information messages among a collection of terminals, links, and nodes that are connected together. The field has advanced tremendously and has generated many breakthroughs in research and technology innovations in the past century. The fundamental goals that have driven communications and networking research and tech...

Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) has been developed to meet the increase in demand for high-speed wireless network. Wireless adhoc networks are multi-hop frameworks comprising of connections among wireless nodes in the absence of any infrastructure. Thus they normally consist of unpredicted network topologies. In MANETs nodes have the liberty to move freely in various directions. Due to limited ba...
