Conventional cellular systems efficiency is currently being challenged by the continuously changing and more demanding world of mobile services and communications. The major problems in conventional cellular communication systems are the limited autonomy of battery-powered mobile devices and the low data rate of currently available services. In this chapter a viable solution is presented to overcome the aforementioned limitations by proposing the concept of peer-to-peer cooperation among mobile phones. Cooperation with instantaneous pay-off is the key to break the trade-off between complexity and energy consumption. In this chapter we highlight one possible scenario of cooperative data reception among users of a cellular network which benefits both the end user in terms of energy consumption, data rate, and transmission delay, and the network provider with better resource sharing and revenues coming from exploitation of new service paradigms.
