Partition formation in a cooperative model of hybrid wireless communication

We consider a hybrid model of wireless networks, where nodes are able to communicate with each other and a base station as well. We use a coalitional approach for modelling the communication structures and to describe the resulting SINR values and bandwidths. We provide a framework which assumes two frequencies; one for direct communication with the base station and one for internal communication of the mobile devices. Cooperation is interpreted as communication including internal, base-station independent transmission as well. The provided framework is able to evaluate and compare the maximal bandwidth of coalitions in any possible partition structure.
