Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the most promising technologies for high data rate wireless communications. OFDM has been adopted in wireless standards such as digital audio/video broadcasting. The combination of OFDM and cooperative diversity techniques can provide the diversity gain and/or increased capacity. In this paper, the cooperative coding using cyclic delay diversity (CDD) for multiuser OFDM systems is introduced. To improve the beneficial effects of relays's cooperation, CDD is adopted in cooperative transmission of relays. Simulation results show the bit error rate (BER) for various consideration. The proposed scheme provides improved performance compared to delay.

In this paper a new space-time diversity relaying strategy using cooperative communication technique is proposed. More than one relaying terminals are included in one cooperative group to share their state information, such as frame error rate and channel state information. The best terminals are selected to send bit information using space-time diversity relay system. An implementation for the proposed scheme is also presented using the TDMA cooperative protocol. The resulting receive signal to transmit signal ratio and computer simulation demonstrate that the proposed strategy outperforms the conventional cooperative system.

Conventional 1-1-1 cooperative protocol offers path-loss gain as advantage of multi-hop and spatial diversity which is equivalent to MIMO system. This protocol is enable to get higher reliability and reduction of power consumption than those of the single-hop or multi-hop. But the 1-1-1 cooperative protocol get only the diversity order 2 and limited path-loss reduction gain because this protocol has a single cooperative relay. We propose 1-2-1 cooperative protocol using two cooperative relays R1, R2. The 1-2-1 cooperative protocol can improve path-loss reduction and increase diversity order 3. Moreover, the cooperative relay R2 attains diversity order 2. The signaling method in transmission uses DF (Decode and Forward) or DR (Decode and Reencode) and 1-2-1 DF/DR cooperative protocol are applied to clustering based wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Simulations are performed to evaluate the performance of the protocols under Rayleigh fading channel plus AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise).

In this paper, a receive diversity combining technique is proposed for single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA)-based cooperative relay systems when discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spreading sizes for mobile station (MS) and relay station (RS) are different. The proposed technique is composed of a DFT spreading size adjustment block, a phase rotation compensation block, a channel phase compensation block, and a receive diversity combining block. The proposed technique is robust to multipath channels and can be operated with a relatively small computational complexity because receive diversity combining is performed with scalar operations in the frequency-domain. It is shown by computer simulation that the proposed receive diversity combining techniques achieve a performance gain over the conventional maximal ratio combining (MRC) techniques for SC-FDMA-based cooperative relay systems.

In Japan, the specification for digital terrestrial television broadcasting systems has been approved for employing a transmission scheme for ISDB-T, which can accommodate HDTV service and portable mobile reception by adapting segmentation of frequency. In this paper, we have developed 3.5 inch mobile TV according to One-Seg system and presented the results of our development. In addition, we introduce two diversity schemes to compensate the defect that signal is interrupted when the portable TV is moving fast. In order to achieve a reliable communication in One-Seg system, we introduce STD(space time diversity) which uses more than 2 antennas at TX and cooperative reception diversity which utilizes signal-exchanging between different mobile terminals. And, its performance enhancements to reception reliability of previous system are evaluated by computer simulations.

Two-way relaying scheme based on relay selection can not only achieve higher rate but also get the selection diversity gain according to the number of relays. However the scheme can not achieve combining gain because it does not consider the direct link between users. In this paper, we propose, with multiple relays, opportunistic cooperative two-way relaying scheme and incremental cooperative two-way relaying scheme which can achieve both selection diversity gain and combining gain. Simulation results show that proposed scheme outperform the conventional scheme by achieving both combining gain and selection diversity gain according to the number of relays.

Cooperative relay communication for wireless networks has been extensively studied due to its ability to mitigate fading effectively via spatial diversity. In this paper, we propose a balanced transmit scheme in cooperative relay communication with decode-and-forward DF) scheme. The proposed scheme selects the feedback bits to obtain the maximum cooperative diversity gain. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the bit error rate BER) performance as compare with a conventional scheme.

In this paper, we propose a cooperative spectrum sensing scheme using the spatial diversity of secondary users (SUs). In our scheme, a SU makes an estimation whether the primary user (PU) is active or not using the signals from the other SUs. We know that the diversity order of miss detection probability increases as the number of SUs increases from the simulation result.
