Abstract: This paper deals with wireless relay communication
systems in which multiple sources transmit information to the
destination node by the help of multiple relays. We consider a
signal forwarding technique based on the minimum mean-square
error (MMSE) approach with multiple antennas for each relay. A
source-relay-destination joint design strategy is proposed with power
constraints at the destination and the source nodes. Simulation results
confirm that the proposed joint design method improves the average
MSE performance compared with that of conventional MMSE relaying
schemes.
Abstract: In this paper, hybrid FDMA-TDMA access technique in a cooperative distributive fashion introducing and implementing a modified protocol introduced in [1] is analyzed termed as Power and Cooperation Diversity Gain Protocol (PCDGP). A wireless network consists of two users terminal , two relays and a destination terminal equipped with two antennas. The relays are operating in amplify-and-forward (AF) mode with a fixed gain. Two operating modes: cooperation-gain mode and powergain mode are exploited from source terminals to relays, as it is working in a best channel selection scheme. Vertical BLAST (Bell Laboratories Layered Space Time) or V-BLAST with minimum mean square error (MMSE) nulling is used at the relays to perfectly detect the joint signals from multiple source terminals. The performance is analyzed using binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation scheme and investigated over independent and identical (i.i.d) Rayleigh, Ricean-K and Nakagami-m fading environments. Subsequently, simulation results show that the proposed scheme can provide better signal quality of uplink users in a cooperative communication system using hybrid FDMATDMA technique.
