In this paper, we propose a novel low-complexity Alamouti coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme for asynchronous cooperative communications. Exploiting the combination of OFDM symbols at the source node and simple operations including sign change and complex product at the relay node, the proposed scheme can achieve cooperative diversity gain without use of time-reversion and shifting operations that the conventional scheme proposed by Li and Xia needs. In addition, by using the cyclic prefix (CP) removal and insertion operations at the relay node, the proposed scheme does not suffer from a considerable degradation of bit-error-rate (BER) performance even though perfect timing synchronization is not achieved at the relay node. From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that the BER performance of the proposed scheme is much superior to that of the conventional scheme in the presence of timing synchronization error at the relay node. It is also shown that the proposed scheme obtains two times higher diversity gain compared with the conventional scheme at the cost of half reduction in transmission efficiency.

In this paper, we consider IOTA-OFDM/OQAM system that improves the transmission power and rate efficiency of conventional OFDM system and propose DF relaying cooperative communication scheme based on the IOTA-OFDM/OQAM system. In the proposed scheme, the destination receives orthogonal signals from source and relay simultaneously and combines using MRC. We demonstrated that the proposed schemes get better BER performance than conventional system because of the diversity gain.

We propose a cooperative transmission scheme that uses Hurwitz-Radon space-time code for the relays which help the source to transmit signals to the destination, the full utilization here is that the destination utilizes the broadcast symbols from the source. We present the 2 transmit antennas case in detail because of its simplicity and high data rate. Analysis and simulations show that the proposed scheme achieves full diversity order of 3. The maximum likelihood receiver is also derived and the combining scheme is shown to be very simple.

Cooperative Communication using relays which include network separated into fixed cooperative relaying and incremental cooperative relaying defending on method receiving signal from a source. If some nodes included network is Primary user ad source and destination, another is Secondary user as relay, The nodes included network excepting source can help PU transmit signal. In the case of all of SU playing a role as relay, destination can get diversity gain, but useless time slot is consumed for transmitting signal. So in this paper, we analysis cooperative relaying which a node succeeding to sense primary signal send signal to destination. We use matlab simulation tool and consider AF, DF, fixed relaying, incremental relaying

In this paper, we propose a novel Alamouti space-time transmission scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based asynchronous cooperative communication systems with low relay complexity. The conventional scheme requires an additional operation likes time-reversal at the relay nodes besides the simple multiplications at the relay nodes, which result in increasing the complexity of relay nodes. Unlike the conventional scheme, exploiting the simple combination of the symbols at the source node and the simple multiplications at the relay nodes, the proposed scheme achieves the second order diversity gain by obtaining the Alamouti code structure at the destination node. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves the second order diversity gain and has the same bit error rate performance as the conventional scheme.

Cooperative diversity is an effective technique to combat multi-path fading. When this technique is applied to energy-constrained wireless sensor networks, it is a key issue to design appropriate relay selection and power allocation strategies. In this paper, we proposed a new multi-relay selection and power allocation algorithm to maximize network lifetime. The algorithm are composed of two relay selection stages, where the channel condition and residual power of each node were considered in multi-relay selection and the power is fairly allocated proportional to the residual power, satisfies the required SNR at destination and minimizes the total transmit power. In this paper, proposed algorithm is based on AF (amplify and forward) model. We evaluated the proposed algorithm by using extensive simulation and simulation results show that proposed algorithm obtains much longer network lifetime than the conventional algorithm.

This paper proposes an adaptive cooperative scheme in the cell boundary. The user location and the suitable cooperative transmission scheme are considered in the proposed scheme. If the user is located in the cell boundary, the quality of communication is degraded. Two base stations are used to obtain diversity in the conventional schemes. But the quality of communication is not sufficiently improved because the user is still distant from the base stations. So, the scheme is proposed that the relays and the adaptive cooperative scheme are used considering the location of the user. By the simulation, it is proved that the proposed scheme is better than the conventional scheme.

In this paper, we propose a new signal frame structure based on Alamouti code that can maintain the same performance as Alamouti code and increase spectral efficiency. The proposed signal frame structure can increase spectrum efficiency to approach 1(bit/s/Hz) since it can process n bit data during (n+1) time slot. In order to verify two performances, we derive closed form BER via mathematical approach, and compare with the simulation result in Rayleigh fading plus AWGN channel. Then we find that the two performances are exactly same.
