Abstract:Abstract-In a wireless network, connectivity is arguably the most critical issue that requires significant study since a network can hardly function well if it is disconnected. On the other hand, there are extraordinary interests in exploiting cooperative techniques in wireless networks in recent years. This paper studies the connectivity problem of large cooperative ad hoc networks. Unlike traditional cooperative networks where all nodes are willing to transmit in a collaborative manner, the cooperative netwo… Show more
