This book will provide a comprehensive technical guide covering fundamentals, recent
advances and open issues in wireless communications and networks to the readers. The …

Original proposal of extended balanced space-time block coding (EBSTBC) and its special
subsets like balanced space-time block coding (BSTBC) utilize all available transmit …

Diversity techniques are very effective tool to increase reception quality. One of the diversity
techniques is cooperative balanced space-time block coding which guarantees full diversity …

In this paper, a balanced space-time block coding method for cooperative relay networks is
proposed which guarantees full diversity for any number of mobile relays with minimal delay, …

Relay selection (RS) is the one of the proposed methods in the literature to utilize cooperative
diversity. When the source-relay channel information is not available at the destination, the …

In this paper, we improve the performance of Cooperative Balanced Space-Time Block Codes
(CBSTBC) by means of a novel relay selection method. The proposed method prevents …

Diversity techniques for communications among sensors are very effective tool to increase
reception quality and battery lifetimes. A well-known method to increase diversity in …

This paper summarizes the results of our earthquake localization research, using distributed
acoustic sensing (DAS) technology, with two 25 km long dark communication fiber optic …

Efficient wireless packet data access is possible by exploiting multi-user diversity. This is
done by using an opportunistic multiple access system that allocates system resources to one …
