Abstract
Systems and methods for utilizing cooperation facilitators to achieve joint message and network state cooperation in accordance with various embodiments of the invention are disclosed. One embodiment of the invention includes: a plurality of transmitters; a receiver that has access to at least partial network state information and that includes a decoder configured to decode signals received via a multiple terminal channel from the plurality of transmitters using the at least partial network state information; and a cooperation facilitator. In addition, at least some of the plurality of transmitters are configured to transmit message information to the cooperation facilitator and the cooperation facilitator is configured to generate cooperation parameters based upon the message information and the manner in which state information is utilized by the receiver to decode signals received via the multiple terminal channel. In addition, the cooperation facilitator is configured to transmit cooperation parameters to the plurality of transmitters that select codewords based at least in part upon the received cooperation parameters.
