Abstract
A device, method, and system for cooperative diversity wireless communication. The method includes detecting at least one relay wireless device (106). A wireless communication link is established with the at least one relay wireless device (106). Forward link address information of a target wireless device (104) is transmitted, via the wireless communication link (118) to the at least one relay wireless device (106) a forward link wireless communication data signal received by the at least one relay wireless device (106). An instruction to transmit to the target wireless device (104) the forward link wireless communication data signal received by the at least one relay wireless device (106) is also transmitted to the at least one relay wireless device (106), via the wireless communication link. The forward link wireless communication data signal being destined for reception by the target wireless device (104).
