ABSTRACT
In this paper, we propose a modified quasi-orthogonal space-time block code that the decoder decouples the symbol detection problem into not pairs of transmitted symbols but each symbol. And then, it is applied to cooperative communication systems with 4 transmit antennas. Simulation results present the BER performances in cases of amplify-and-forward and decode-and-forward.

Quasi-orthogonal STBC with minimum decoding complexity
In this paper, we consider a quasi-orthogonal (QO) space-time block code (STBC) with minimum decoding complexity (MDC-QO-STBC). We formulate its algebraic structure and propose a systematic method for its construction. We show that a maximum-likelihood (...
Cooperative Transmission Using Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes with Adaptive Decode-and-Forward Relaying Protocol
In this paper, we propose a cooperative transmission scheme using quasi-orthogonal space-time block codes (QOSTBCs) for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay networks. Comparing with the conventional cooperative transmission scheme using ...
Cooperative communications protocol for multiuser OFDM networks
This paper proposes a relay-based scheme where a fixed number of relays are utilized to design an OFDM cooperative protocol. By exploiting limited feedback from the destination terminal (central node) such that each relay is able to help forward ...
