The decrease of switching times accompanied by the corresponding increase of
clock speeds and data rates, contributes to improve the overall system
computational performance. At the same time, they also affect wireless
communications due to an increment in the emissions of electromagnetic
radiation on the radio bands.

Transmission over wireless networks presents multiple technical challenges due to
noise, interference, fading, power constraints and bandwidth limitation. Different
solutions have been propposed to overcome these issues and some of them are
treated here. Cooperative diversity has been proposed as an implementation for
networks where terminals are restricted to using...
