Cooperation in 4G - Hype or Ripe?
Abstract
With increasingly congested frequency bands and an ever-growing demand for higher data rates, innovative approaches are needed to increase the spectral efficiency and hence cost per bit/s/Hz overless links. Cooperative systems and radios, which are capable of intelligently forming mutually cooperative entities, are a promising way to achieve this increase in capacity. First technological and then social barriers, however, have prevented us so far from having technologies, systems, or users jointly cooperate. We will try to answer in this article whether the time is ripe for a technology which has recently received so much hype.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
