ABSTRACT
In wireless networks, the broadcast nature of wireless transmission enables cooperation by sharing the same transmissions with nearby receivers and thus can help improve spatial reuse and boost network throughput along a multihop routing. The performance of wireless networks can be further improved if prior information available at the receivers can be utilized to achieve perfect interference subtraction. In this section, we investigate performance gain on network throughput for wireless cooperative networks by using a simple multiuser detection (MUD) scheme, called overlapped transmission, in which multiple transmissions are allowed only when the information in the interfering signal is known at the receiver.
