Optimal Power Allocation for Hybrid Amplify-and-Forward Cooperative Networks
Maya Badr, Emilio Calvanese Strinati, Jean‐Claude Belfiore · 2008
This paper deals with power allocation techniques for cooperative protocols where terminals are constrained by half-duplex assumption and average total network power. We propose a cooperation scheme based on the combination of hybrid cooperation strategies with an effective power allocation algorithm. Simulation results show that our proposal improves the outage performance while reducing the overall cooperation complexity.
