Abstract

This paper proposes a new cooperative protocol in which Alamouti's scheme is applied to exploit the advantages of both coded cooperation and Alamouti's scheme. It not only has better than direct transmission but also coded cooperation at appropriate cooperation levels. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol can save approximately 6~7 dB of transmit power to achieve the target BER(Bit Error Rate) compared with coded cooperation. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed protocol does not significantly depend on the qualities of inter-user channels.
