Abstract
Wireless networks simply consist of nodes radiating energy. Nodes can cooperate in complex manners to transport information. How then ought they to cooperate? Once this basic question is answered, one can determine what protocols are needed to execute the information transport strategy. Subsequently the task devolves to actually designing the particular protocols.
