in this paper, a combination of MIMO and network coding, based on MINEC protocol, is used for improving the performance of the relay networks in fading environments. We have introduced the concept of channel estimation into the proposed three-node relay network. When the receiver is having no knowledge of the channel, then the Rayleigh fading channel has to be estimated using some technique, as...

The probability of making mistakes on the decoded signals at the relay has been used for the maximum-likelihood (ML) decision at the receiver in the decode-and-forward (DF) relay network. It is well known that deriving the probability is relatively easy for the uncoded single-antenna transmission with M-pulse amplitude modulation (PAM). However, in the multiplexing multiple-input multiple-outpu...

In this paper, we study the degrees of freedom (DoF) of the MIMO relay networks. We start with a general Y channel, where each user has Mi antennas and aims to exchange messages with the other two users via a relay equipped with N antennas. Then, we extend our work to a general 4-user MIMO relay network. Unlike most previous work which focused on the total DoF of the network, our aim here is to...

This paper presents the ergodic capacity of nonlinear MIMO-OFDM Decode-and-Forward (DF) relay network.Nonlinearities in wireless communication channels can arise at the transmitter or the receiver side. In this work, we focus on the transmitter-side nonlinearities induced by the High Power Amplifier (HPA), the last stage in the communication chain at the base station (BS) and the relay stations...

—In this paper the outage-optimal relay deployment problem for amplify-and-forward (AF) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) two-way relaying network with antenna selection is studied. By utilizing an approximation of the outage probability, the outage-optimal relay location is shown feasible. On this basis a relay deployment scheme is developed by providing the near-optimal relay position in an ap...

This letter introduces a joint design method for uplinkdownlink multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay communication systems in which the source nodes transmit information to the destination nodes with the help of a relay. We propose a signal forwarding schceme based on the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) approach in uplink relay systems. Exploiting the duality of relay systems, we also p...

Multi-antenna two-way relaying, in which two multi-antenna users exchange information via a multiantenna relay, has attracted much research interest recently. How to approach the capacity of a multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) two-way relay channel (TWRC) remains a challenging issue. In this work, we propose a novel space-division based network-coding scheme for MIMO two-way relaying. In the...

In this paper, a new adaptive hybrid multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) cooperative scheme is proposed in wireless OFDM systems. The conventional hybrid MIMO cooperative scheme is inefficient in the relay because the relay does not use one antenna between two antennas for transmission to the destination. So the new hybrid MIMO cooperative scheme supplements inefficiency of the conventional s...
