In this paper we investigate multi-hop fading relay channels where the source, the
destination and the multiple relay nodes are all equipped with multiple antennas. We study …

In wireless relay networks, the use of multiple antennas at both the source and destination
can increase the capacity linearly with the number of antennas. In this paper, we investigate …

In this paper, we consider a MIMO wireless relay network where communication between a
source and a destination node is assisted by multiple relay nodes using the amplify-and …

Performance of multi-hop MIMO relay channels under the amplify-and-forward and decode-
and-forward protocols are compared via the capacity and SNR gains. In an N-hop channel …

This paper presents an ergodic capacity analysis of an amplify-and-forward multiple-input,
multiple-output two-hop system including the source to destination (direct) link. We first …

The ergodic capacity in Rayleigh fading of multi-hop wireless transmission systems
employing either amplify-and-forward relaying or decode-and-forward relaying is studied …

We study the impact of multiple amplify-and-forward relays on the capacity of wireless MIMO
channels. For wireless networks with one source/destination pair (equipped with multiple …

Relay channels have been heavily studied during the last decades as a means of improving
spectral efficiency, availability and coverage in combination with multiple antenna …

We present a study on the outage probability of multihop wireless communication systems
with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) link based on the transmit antenna selection and …

The performance of beamforming in dual-hop cooperative networks with fixed-gain relays is
investigated. These kinds of relays offer low complexity and ease of deployment when …
