Title
Buffer-Aided Multi-Hop DF Cooperative Networks: A State-Clustering Based Approach.
Abstract
This paper analyzes the performance of a buffer-aided multi-hop relaying system using the max-link relay selection scheme for decode-and-forward cooperative networks. A Markov chain approach is adopted to analyze the state transition matrix that models the evolution of the status of relay buffers. Analytical expressions for the steady-state probability vector are obtained for a three-hop buffer-ai...
