Cooperative diversity techniques for energy efficient wireless sensor networks

Wireless Sensor Networks can be used for a multitude of applications, but they all have in common that they need to send their collected data to some central processing node. If the sensors are located at a long distance from a processing node, the transmission might need the combined transmitter power of several sensors. In this chapter, the authors investigate the use of various cooperative diversity techniques in wireless sensor networks to increase the transmission range, minimize power consumption, and maximize network lifetime.
