A game theoretic approach for cooperative MIMO schemes with cellular reuse of the relay slot
Adrián Agustín, O. Muhoz, Josep Vidal · 2004
An iterative game theory based algorithm is proposed to allocate the resources in cooperative schemes for the downlink. Both amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) cooperative schemes are considered with cellular reuse of the relay slot. Multiple antennas can be used at the involved stations. Using the algorithm proposed, the simultaneous relay powers are decided in a decentralized way using mean channel level measures and mean values of noise and interference power. The cell capacity gain for the cooperative schemes using the decentralized algorithm is evaluated by means of simulation for both the AF and DF approaches.
