“…Indeed, if the number of hop is 𝐾, the maximum e2e throughput is 1/𝐾, i.e., one data per 𝐾 time slots. Although published works [4], [6]- [8] proposed various diversity-based MHR approaches (i.e., path selection [4], relay selection [6], transmit antenna selection (TAS)/selection combining (SC) [7], [8]) for performance enhancement, the obtained e2e throughput is still 1/𝐾.…”
