Ergodic capacity of decode-and-forward relay strategies over general fast fading channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Proposed is a novel ergodic capacity formula for decode-and-forward (DF) relaying over a very general fast fading channel model, i.e. the channel gains of the links follow independent but non-necessarily identically distributed Nakagami-m distributions. The proposed formula is validated by Monte Carlo simulations and can be computed efficiently. Since the considered channel model is very general, the proposed formula is appropriate for evaluating the performance of DF relaying in a wide variety of realistic wireless channel environments.

Polarization of Multi-Relay Channels: A Suitable Method for DF and CF Relaying with Orthogonal Receiver
Polar codes, that have been recently introduced by Arikan, are one of the first codes that achieved the capacity for vast numerous channels and they also have low complexity in symmetric memoryless channels. Polar codes are constructed based on a phenomenon called channel polarization. This paper discusses relay channel polarization in order to achieve the capacity and show that if inputs of tw...

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 of linear topology with multi-antenna source and destination and single-antenna relay nodes, the capacity gain of the DF relaying over the AF one does not exceed log2N bit/s/Hz and its SNR gain does not exceed N , for any ch...
