title = "Clustered cooperative communications in wireless networks",
abstract = "In this paper, a cluster-based cooperative communication scheme is introduced in which each cluster acts as a virtual node with multiple antennas. The presented model considers the effects of random deployment of nodes and hence their random distribution across the network. Taking these effects into account, a pairwise-error probability analysis for a generic space-time code structure is provided. The analysis reveals that the diversity and coding gain of the system depends on both the code structure as well as the nodes' distribution, and hence new code design criteria are developed. Simulation results are presented to confirm the theoretical analysis.",
