Abstract:
1. A method for use with a wireless user device, comprising: joining a cooperative cluster of wireless user devices, said wireless user devices of said cooperative cluster to act cooperatively to communicate with a remote destination node through a multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) channel; transferring a first data message to each other wireless user device in said cooperative cluster, said first data message to be transmitted by said cooperative cluster to said remote destination node; obtaining at least one other data message from one or more other wireless user devices in said cooperative cluster, said at least one other data message to be transmitted by said cooperative cluster to said remote destination node; merging said first data message and said at least one other data message to form a merged bit stream; time-frequency coding said merged bit stream using a predetermined time-frequency code and performing interleaving to form a coded bit stream; and splitting said coded bit stream into multiple portions, said multiple portions including a first portion and at least one other portion.
