Opportunistic nonorthogonal amplify-and-forward cooperative communications
L. Chen, R.A. Carrasco, Ian James Wassell · Electronics Letters · 2011
The first opportunistic cooperative communications scheme based upon nonorthogonal transmission, namely the opportunistic nonorthogonal amplify-and-forward scheme, is proposed. It is proved that the proposed scheme can achieve a superior diversity- multiplexing trade-off performance bound than the existing opportunistic relaying schemes. Simulation results validate the proof.
