Abstract
Cooperative multi-node MIMO communications involves a second wireless communication device (WCD) or more generally a self-selection of devices which selectively assists a first WCD with respect to communication of a first message to a third WCD. This assistance involves transmitting the first message using the second wireless communication device. More particularly, transmission of the first message by the second wireless communication devices is performed synchronously with at least one retransmission of the first message by the first wireless communication device. This retransmission is performed at a predetermined re-transmission time known to both the first and second wireless communication devices.
