Abstract

A novel cooperative diversity transmission protocol is proposed for a four-node network, in which a single-antenna source communicates with an N-antenna destination with the help of two K-antenna half-duplex decode-and-forward (DF) relays. The proposed shifted successive DF relaying (SSDFR) protocol asymptotically achieves the optimal diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) the system can provide. The resulting DMT performance does not require complex coding strategies at the relays, extremely strong or weak inter-relay channel conditions, or feedback from the destination to the source, which highlights the advantages of the proposed protocol over state of the art techniques.
