Systematic Luby transform (SLT) codes constitute rateless codes, which are capable of adaptively adjusting their code rate depending on the channel quality without any explicit channel state information (CSI) at the transmitters. SLTs are also suitable for space time collaboration-aided relay networks. In this study, an iterative decoding-aided SLT scheme is combined with 16 quadrature amplitud...

Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) amplify and forward based protocols have been investigated previously by various researchers. However, the gap is still there to investigate the performance of these protocols using inter-relay communication in order to improve the diversity order at destination over Rician fading channel. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to propose TDMA based amplify and...
