In this work, we investigate the end-to-end performance of a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) relay system over a flat Rayleigh fading channel to study the performance in terms of outage probability (OP) and the average bit error rate (ABER) of the digital receivers. New closed form expressions for the statistics of the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for both amplify-and-forward and ...

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...
