Abstract

The wireless transmission of layered signals, in a described embodiment, uses multiple relay nodes (304) to implement cooperative diversity. The method includes: (i) receiving layered signals from a source node (300), (ii) receiving, from a destination node (302), a relay allocation parameter to implement a cooperative relay strategy with one or more other relay nodes (304), and (iii) relaying the layered signals to the destination node (302) using the cooperative relay strategy.
