This paper investigates the benefits of cooperation in large wireless networks with multiple sources and relays, where the nodes form an homogeneous Poisson point process. The source nodes may dispose of their nearest neighbor from the set of inactive nodes as their relay. Although cooperation can potentially lead to significant improvements on the asymptotic error probability of a communication pair, relaying causes additional interference in the network, increasing the average noise. We address the basic question: how should source nodes optimally balance cooperation vs. interference to guarantee reliability in all communication pairs. Based on the decode-and-forward (DF) scheme at the relays (which is near optimal when the relays are close to their corresponding sources), we derive closed-form approximations to the upper bounds on the error probability, averaging over all node positions. Surprisingly, in the small node-density regime, there is an almost binary behaviour that dictates --depending on network parameters-- the activation or not of all relay nodes.
