Abstract

Many works have been conducted on cooperation communication in wireless networks for recent years. Two main cooperative modes amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) are proposed in literatures. In this paper, we present a novel cooperation mode selection method, Maximum Throughput Cooperation Mode (MTCM). MTCM selects optimal communication modes, including direct transmission, AF and DF to maximize the system throughput. In MTCM, the transmission errors are taken into consideration. The simulations are performed to validate the theoretical results.
