Impact of STBC Scheme on BER Performance Assessment of a Single Amplify and Forward Relaying Protocol Based Cooperative MIMO-OFDM System

Abstract

Cooperative communication is a novel class of wireless communication

Cooperative MIMO OFDM system based on Amplify and Forward Relay: Evaluation of ZF-SIC and MMSE-SIC equalization

“…STBC rearranges the digitally modulated data and sends to the antennas. While original and negative second conjugate data are transmitted to one antenna, another antenna receives conjugate original and second data [19].…”

Approximate BER Performance Analysis of Coherent Amplify-and-Forward Cooperative Relay System with BPSK over Nakagami-m Fading Channels

“…Recently, a cooperative relay technique has emerged as a promising solution for the high data rate and the reliable transmission in wireless communication systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

“…There have been a lot of research efforts in analyzing the performance achieved by the cooperative relay systems (e.g., [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and references therein). In [1] and [2], it was clearly shown that the cooperative relay scheme can lead to higher data rates and robustness against severe effects of fading, compared with the non-cooperative one, which is due to the cooperative diversity gain through an additional link with the relay as well as a direct link between the source and the destination nodes.…”
