Distributed space-time coding for cooperative networks

چکیده
In this report we show how proper cooperation among radio nodes may provide diversity gain, also for single antenna systems. We consider first the connectivity of a wireless network and show how it can benefit from cooperation. Then, we consider some specific forms of cooperations, based on distributed space-time coding, in both single and multi-user contexts. Finally, we pay a special attention to the case where the final destination has a multi-antenna receiver. In such a case, we may establish a virtual MIMO link between the relays and the final destination, which makes possible to benefit also from the MIMO spatial multiplexing gain.

Design and Performance Analysis of Distributed Space Time Coding Schemes for Cooperative Wireless Networks
ii PhD Thesis by Gbenga Owojaiye University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, Herts. AL10 9AB, United Kingdom Abstract In this thesis, space-time block codes originally developed for multiple antenna systems are extended to cooperative multi-hop networks. The designs are applicable to any wireless network setting especially cellular, adhoc and sensor networks where space limitations preclude the use ...
متن کاملDiversity analysis of distributed linear convolutive space-time codes for time-frequency asynchronous cooperative networks
This study analyses the achievable cooperative diversity order of the distributed linear convolutional space-time coding (DLC-STC) scheme for time–frequency asynchronous cooperative networks. The authors first prove that perfect time or frequency synchronisation is impractical for cooperative networks with multiple relays serving multiple destinations even when the relays know all accurate time...
متن کاملAdaptive Delay-Tolerant Distributed Space-Time Coding Based on Adjustable Code Matrices for Cooperative MIMO Relaying Systems
An adaptive delay-tolerant distributed space-time coding (DSTC) scheme that exploits feedback is proposed for two-hop cooperative MIMO networks. Maximum likelihood (ML) receivers and adjustable code matrices are considered subject to a power constraint with a decode-and-forward (DF) cooperation strategy. In the proposed delay-tolerant DSTC scheme, an adjustable code matrix is employed to transf...

Unitary space-time modulation is known to be an efficient means to communicate over non-coherent Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) channels. In this letter, differential unitary space-time coding and non-coherent space-time coding for the training based approach of Kim and Tarokh are addressed. For this approach, necessary and sufficient conditions for multi-group decodability are derived i...

In this paper, a cooperative algorithm to improve the orthogonal space-timefrequency block codes (OSTFBC) in frequency selective channels for 2*1, 2*2, 4*1, 4*2 MIMO-OFDM systems, is presented. The algorithm of three node, a source node, a relay node and a destination node is formed, and is implemented in two stages. During the first stage, the destination and the relay antennas receive the sym...
متن کاملDistributed Space-Time Block Coding for Amplify-and- Forward Cooperative Networks
A robust way to combat multipath fading phenomena in wireless communications is to implement diversity techniques. Diversity is achieved by providing the receivers multiple independent replicas of the same information-bearing symbols through space, time, or frequency. Recently, a new type of diversity, so-called cooperative diversity, has been proposed in order to provide diversity when the wir...
