Macro and micro diversity improvement with Patched dynamic decode and forward relaying
Nicolas Gresset, Mélanie Plainchault, Ghaya Rekaya-Ben Othman · 2010
In this paper, we consider the improvement of the macro and micro diversity by the help of relays using a dynamic decode and forward (DDF) protocol. We first derive bounds on the macro and micro diversity for DDF and Patched-DDF protocols using distributed Mono-stream and Alamouti schemes. We then derive an auto-organized behavior of the relay that maximizes the macro and micro diversity of the broadcast application.
