WARP Project Forums - Wireless Open-Access Research Platform

Cooperation is a strategy for virtual MIMO -- multiple single-antenna devices acting like a multi-antenna array. A cooperative MAC is a medium access strategy for harnessing that capability. Murphpo and I worked on cooperation for our respective PhDs. Here are some of our papers on the topic (recognizing that this is not a complete literature review -- cooperation is an enormous area and there are tons of papers out there):
