Adaptive Distributed Space-Time Coding Based on Adjustable Code Matrices for Cooperative MIMO Relaying Systems

Abstract

Abstract-An adaptive distributed space-time coding (DSTC) scheme is proposed for two-hop cooperative MIMO networks. Linear minimum mean square error (MMSE) receive filters and adjustable code matrices are considered subject to a power constraint with an amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperation strategy. In the proposed adaptive DSTC scheme, an adjustable code matrix obtained by a feedback channel is employed to transform the space-time coded matrix at the relay node. The effects of the limited feedback and the feedback errors are assessed. Linear MMSE expressions are devised to compute the parameters of the adjustable code matrix and the linear receive filters. Stochastic gradient (SG) and least-squares (LS) algorithms are also developed with reduced computational complexity. An upper bound on the pairwise error probability analysis is derived and indicates the advantage of employing the adjustable code matrices at the relay nodes. An alternative optimization algorithm for the adaptive DSTC scheme is also derived in order to eliminate the need for the feedback. The algorithm provides a fully distributed scheme for the adaptive DSTC at the relay node based on the minimization of the error probability. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms obtain significant performance gains as compared to existing DSTC schemes.

A survey on active noise control in the past decade—Part I: Linear systems

“…Linear ANC systems based on FIR and IIR filters have been extensively studied in the past decade. This section reviews the filtered-x-, filtered-e-, and filtered-u-based algorithms, which are related to standard adaptive algorithms [37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,…”

Buffer aided distributed space time coding techniques for cooperative DS-CDMA systems

“…In cooperative relaying systems, different strategies that employ multiple relays have been recently introduced in [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20]. The aim of relay selection is to find the optimum relay or set of relays that results in the greatest improvement of reliability.…”

Joint SIC and Relay Selection for Cooperative DS-CDMA Systems

“…In order to mitigate this effect, modern diversity techniques like cooperative diversity have been widely considered in recent years [1]. Several cooperative schemes have been proposed [2][3][4] and among the most effective ones are Amplifyand-Forward (AF) and Decode-and-Forward (DF) [4][5][6][7][8]. For an AF protocol, relays cooperate and amplify the received signals with a given transmit power, this method is simple except that the relays amplify their own noise.…”
