Abstract:Diversity is an effective technique to enhance link quality and enable multiple users to pool their resources to form a virtual antenna array that obtains spatial diversity. In this paper, we propose a generalized Distributed Turbo Codes (DTC)-based coded cooperation protocol for two-hop relay networks with an arbitrary number of relays. This scheme aims at achieving improved diversity over the classical coded cooperation method in Rayleigh fading channels. We derive a finite range single integral solution for… Show more
