Abstract:Cooperative diversity is an effective transmission technique allowing multiple users to create a virtual antenna array although each of them is equipped with single antenna. In this paper, an iterative channel estimation and equalization (ICEE) scheme for single-carrier transmissions is proposed, realizing space-time block code (STBC) with amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying in a distributed fashion. Most existing researchers assume perfect channel information available at the receiver, however, the effect of im… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
