Abstract:In this paper, we devise and comprehensively analyze an efficient transmission protocol for multiple half-duplex relay communication without a direct link but with inter-relay interference. The proposed protocol achieves high diversity gain with the help of Hybrid Automatic Retransmission reQuest (H-ARQ) even when multiplexing gain is quite high. As the maximum allowable number of retransmission rounds (L) increases, an additional time diversity gain is obtained in short-term static channels. Compared to pre-e… 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.
