Are Amplify-and-Forward Relaying and Decode-and-Forward Relaying the Same?

Optimal Distributed Resource Allocation for Decode-and-Forward Relay Networks

This paper presents a distributed resource allocation algorithm to jointly optimize the power allocation, channel allocation and relay selection for decode-and-forward (DF) relay networks with a large number of sources, relays, and destinations. The well-known dual decomposition technique cannot directly be applied to resolve this problem, because the achievable data rate of DF relaying is not ...

Cooperative partial retransmission scheme in incremental decode-and-forward relaying

In this paper, we present a novel hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) scheme for cooperative communication systems, called cooperative partial retransmission (CPR). The method is based on the retransmission of only a fraction of the original code word by the cooperating nodes. Based on the outage analysis, we derive the theoretical throughput expressions that are compared to numerical simula...

Decode-and-forward relaying based on orthogonal complementary codes

In this note, we propose a full-duplex decode-and-forward cooperative diversity scheme based on code division with orthogonal complementary codes. We consider a simple case in which a single user is assisted by a single relay to achieve cooperative diversity. When the cooperation is full-duplex, the operational delay of the relay makes the channel asynchronous and this may cause multiple-access...

A Cognitive Subcarriers Sharing Scheme for OFDM Based Decode and Forward Relaying System

This paper analyzes the performance of a proposed subcarriers sharing scheme. According to the scheme, secondary system helps the primary system via two phase Decode and Forward orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based relaying. If primary (licensed user) is unable to achieve its target rate then secondary transmitter (which is located within a critical distance from primary transmitter...
