Energy Efficiency Optimization of Cooperative Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks

<p/> <p>In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), cooperative communication represents a potential candidate to combat the effects of channel fading by exploiting diversity gain achieved via cooperation among the relays nodes. However, for the energy-constrained WSN, to what extent cooperative...
