Research on Relay Selection Based on Two-Hop Multi-Relay Networks

Abstract:

A relay selection criteria was proposed based on time division non-orthogonal cooperation, aiming at solving the problem of relay selection in the two-hop multi-relay cooperative communication to predigest the system design. The system BER (bit error rate) expression was obtained with its performance analysis under the condition of high SNR. Furthermore, computer simulations was conducted to show that the system diversity order is increased with the increase of the relay number under the condition of the distributed relay selection criterion, and diversity gain can be obtained significantly with the BER of the system significant decreasing.
