  • Patent number: 8792367
    Abstract: Cooperative communication is a technique that can be employed to meet the increased throughput needs of next generation WiMAX systems. In a cooperative scenario, multiple stations can jointly emulate the antenna elements of a multi-input multi-output system in a distributed fashion. A framework for a randomized distributed space-time coding (“R-DSTC”) technique in the emerging relay-assisted WiMAX network, and the development of a cooperative medium access control (“MAC”) layer protocol, called CoopMAX, for R-DSTC deployment in an IEEE 802.16 system, is described. The technique described couples the MAC layer with the physical (PHY) layer for performance optimization. The PHY layer yields significant diversity gain, while the MAC layer achieves a substantial end-to-end throughput gain.

  • Patent number: 8611271
    Abstract: A distributed and opportunistic medium access control (MAC) layer protocol for randomized distributed space-time coding (R-DSTC), which may be deployed in an IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN), is described. Unlike other cooperative MAC designs, there is no need to predetermine, before packet transmission, which stations will serve as relays. Instead, the MAC layer protocol opportunistically recruits relay stations on the fly. Network capacity and delay performance is much better than legacy IEEE 802.11g network, and even cooperative forwarding using one relay station. Avoiding the need to collect the station-to-station channel statistics considerably reduces overhead otherwise required for channel measurement and signaling.
