Cooperative cognitive radio networks are investigated by using an information-theoretic approach. This approach consists of interpreting the decision process carried out at the fusion center as a binary (asymmetric) channel, whose input is…
We apply linear network coding (LNC) to broadcast a block of data packets from one sender to a set of receivers via lossy wireless channels, assuming each receiver already possesses a subset of these packets and wants the rest. We aim to…
