Cooperative Diversity - System Model

System Model

We consider a wireless relay system that consists of source, relay and destination nodes. It is assumed that the channel is in a half-duplex, orthogonal and amplify-and-forward relaying mode. Differently to the conventional direct transmission system, we exploit a time division relaying function where this system can deliver information with two temporal phases.

On the first phase, the source node broadcasts information toward both the destination and the relay nodes. The received signal at the destination and the relay nodes are respectively written as:


r_{d,s} = h_{d,s} x_{s} + n_{d,s} \quad

r_{r,s} = h_{r,s} x_{s} + n_{r,s} \quad

where is the channel from the source to the destination nodes, is the channel from the source to the relay node, is the noise signal added to and is the noise signal added to .

On the second phase, the relay can transmit its received signal to the destination node except the direct transmission mode.

Famous quotes containing the words system and/or model:

    The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced—by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.
    Erich Fromm (1900–1980)

    There are very many characteristics which go into making a model civil servant. Prominent among them are probity, industry, good sense, good habits, good temper, patience, order, courtesy, tact, self-reliance, many deference to superior officers, and many consideration for inferiors.
    Chester A. Arthur (1829–1886)
