Cooperative Communication for High Diversity Gain with Single Antenna
H.-J. AN, Jinho Kim, H.-K. Song · IEICE Transactions on Communications · 2007
Cooperative communication enables single antenna to realize a virtual multiple antenna by sharing their antennas. Therefore, it offers transmit diversity. In this letter, we apply pre-coding scheme to the transmit symbols. Although pre-coding has shortcomings, it is possible to employ Space-Time Block Codes (STBC) with single antenna and achieve high gain.
