This paper represents one step forward towards a deeper understanding of the interplay between end-to-end throughput and physical layer cooperative communication, in the general context of multi-hop multi-channel wire- less networks. Based on a decode-and-forward physical layer design with rateless codes, we reformulate the problem of routing and channel assign- ment to account for physical layer cooperation. We design a distributed protocol to solve the new problem. Our simulation results have validated the e®ectiveness of our protocol to o®er a substantial gain with respect to stabilizing the o®ered aggregate throughput in the network. %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01059109/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01059109/file/1569269586.pdf %L hal-01059109 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01059109 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-LNCS-6091 %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC6 %~ IFIP-NETWORKING %~ IFIP-2010
