In this paper, we propose a robust relay precoder in the multiple operator relay sharing system, where multiple base stations transmit to their target user terminals simultaneously with the assistance of an amplify-and-forward relay. The base stations and the user terminals are equipped with single antennas while the relay employs multiple antennas. The channel state information at the relay is...

In this paper, we obtain a general achievable rate region and some certain capacity theorems for multiple-access relay channel (MARC), using decode and forward (DAF) strategy at the relay, superposition coding at the transmitters. Our general rate region (i) generalizes the achievability part of Slepian-Wolf multiple-access capacity theorem to the MARC, (ii) extends the Cover-El Gamal best achi...

Cooperative communication through decode and forward (DF) relaying is an effective solution for mitigating channel fading in wireless systems. We consider a cooperative diversity system having a source, a relay, and a destination. The source and the relay cooperate through the DF protocol to enable the transmission of a binary phase-shift keying symbol in a flat Rayleigh fading environment. The...

We study the transmission of two correlated and memoryless sources (U, V ) over several multipleuser phase asynchronous channels. Namely, we consider a class of phase-incoherent multiple access relay channels (MARC) with both non-causal and causal unidirectional cooperation between encoders, referred to as phase-incoherent unidirectional non-causal cooperative MARC (PI-UNCC-MARC), and phase-inc...

This letter proposes a robust joint linear precoding scheme based on the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) criterion for amplifyand-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay broadcast systems with limited feedback, where only the quantized channel direction information (CDI) of the forward channel is available for the base station (BS) and the relay station (RS). The proposed sch...

This paper describes a multi−relay strategy for wireless networks and examines the influence of imperfect channel information on system performance. A modified relay scheme is proposed to compensate for such imperfections.

Opportunistic relaying scheme is a single cooperative relay selection method based on Channel State Information. However, the failure probability of the best relay selection may become unacceptable when the number of relays increases. Although most of the existing solutions can reduce the failure probability of relay selection, they ignore the fairness of the relay selection. In order to improv...

In this paper, we investigate the performance of bidirectional relay selection using amplify-andforward protocol with imperfect channel state information, i.e., delay effect and channel estimation error. The asymptotic expression of end-to-end SER in high SNR regime is derived in a closed form, which indicates that the delay effect causes the loss of both coding gain and diversity order, while ...

In this work we focus on the general relay channel. We investigate the application of estimate-and-forward (EAF) to different scenarios. Specifically, we consider assignments of the auxiliary random variables that always satisfy the feasibility constraints. We first consider the multiple relay channel and obtain an achievable rate without decoding at the relays. We demonstrate the benefits of t...

This paper studies the effectiveness of relaying for interference mitigation in an interference-limited communication scenario. We are motivated by the observation that in a cellular network, a relay node placed at the cell-edge observes intercell interference that is correlated with intended receiver’s interference. A relaying link can effectively allow their antennas to be pooled together for...
