Abstract:An adaptive decode-and-forward (DF) cooperative diversity system based on quadrature modulation is proposed, in which each user is allowed to transmit its own and the partner's data simultaneously via the in-phase and quadrature components of M -ary quadrature amplitude modulation (MQAM) constellation. Cooperative transmission in this way can avoid the bandwidth expansion in traditional cooperative systems. The closed form expression of the average bit error rate (BER) performance is derived in terms of the in… 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.
