Clearly, making use of user cooperation transmission technique in a multi-hop wireless
network improves its performance in terms of transmission reliability and gives birth to multi …

User cooperation has evolved as a popular coding technique in wireless relay networks
(WRNs). Using the neighboring nodes as relays to establish a communication between a …

It has been shown that cooperative communication techniques have a great potential to
increase the diversity in wireless relay networks and hence improve the Bit Error Rate …

Cooperation diversity schemes employing space-time block coding (STBC) techniques have
been proposed for wireless networks to increase systems capacity and coverage, by …

A distributed space-time block code (STBC) based on a decode-and-forward (DF) protocol is
proposed for two-path successive relaying. By making the two relay nodes transmit and …

Mobile communication companies at present are looking for a 4G technology that aims at
better reliability. This aim can be achieved by using Multiple Inputs Multiple Outputs (MIMO) …

Most research on distributed space-time block coding (D-STBC) has assumed that
cooperative relay nodes are perfectly synchronized, for the delay destroys the required …

Information theoretic studies have shown the significant performance improvements of
cooperative communications. However, these studies ignore both the overheads incurred in …

In this paper, a balanced space-time block coding method for cooperative relay networks is
proposed which guarantees full diversity for any number of mobile relays with minimal delay …

We consider distributed relaying networks using space-time block codes (STBC) to exploit
cooperative diversity. In order to mitigate the impact of error propagation for Decode …
