abstract = {We address mesh networks with decode and forward relays that use binary modulations. For detection, the nodes employ equal gain combining, which is appealing because it is very easy to implement. We study the performance of these networks and compare it to that of multihop multi-branch networks. We also examine the performance of the networks when both the number of groups and total number of nodes are fixed but the topology of the network varies. We demonstrate the performance of these networks where the channels are modeled with Nakagami distributions and the noise is zero mean Gaussian},

abstract = {In previous literature on cooperative relay communications, the emphasis has been on the study of multi-hop networks. In this paper we address mesh wireless networks that use decode-and-forward relays for which we derive the optimal node decision rules in case of binary transmission. We also obtain the expression for the overall bit error probability. We compare the mesh networks with multi-hop networks and show the improvement in performance that can be achieved with them when both networks have the same number of nodes and equal number of hops.},
