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 yearly expenses of the existing religious system ... exceed in these United States twenty millions of dollars. Twenty millions! For teaching what? Things unseen and causes unknown!... Twenty millions would more than suffice to make us wise; and alas! do they not more than suffice to make us foolish?
    Frances Wright (1795–1852)

    If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this: in portrait painting to put on canvas something more than the face the model wears for that one day; to paint the man, in short, as well as his features.
    James Mcneill Whistler (1834–1903)
