Base station cooperation (BSC) is an effective means to improve system throughput in wireless networks. In this paper, a novel, practical BSC method is proposed based on graph theory, in which the cluster of cooperative based stations is adapted according to the variation in channel conditions. However, cooperation behaviour would introduce additional problems in the conventional system, such a...
