This paper presents access protocols with optimal Diversity-Multiplexing Tradeoff (DMT) performance in the context of IEEE 802.11-based mesh networks. The protocols are characterized by two main features: on-demand cooperation and selection of the best relay terminal. The on-demand characteristic refers to the ability of a destination terminal to ask for cooperation when it fails in decoding the message transmitted by a source terminal. This approach allows maximization of the spatial multiplexing gain. The selection of the best relay terminal allows maximization of the diversity order. Hence, the optimal DMT curve is achieved with these protocols
