Partner selection schemes for cooperative multi-hop relay networks

In this paper we propose two throughput-oriented relay selection rules for multi-hop relay networks. Our rules can achieve higher throughput while maintaining reliability. We also adopt the total relay transmit power constraint to utilize transmit power more efficiently.
