Title
Relay Selection In Amplify-And-Forward Relay Network With Multiple Antennas At The Destination
Abstract
In this paper, we consider an amplify-and-forward (AF) relay network where a source node transmits information to a destination node through the Cooperation of multiple relay nodes. It is shown in prior works that the outage behavior and average throughput of the selection AF (S-AF) scheme where only the best relay node is chosen to assist can outperform the conventional all-participate AF (AP-AF) scheme. Assuming multiple antennas at the destination node and single antennas at other nodes in this paper, we propose a relay selection scheme according to the criterion of maximizing receive signal to noise ratio (SNR), where a group of relays is chosen to assist in the transmission simultaneously in a mariner similar to cyclic delay diversity (CDD). Compared with S-AF, the proposed scheme achieves better outage behavior and average throughput. It can be seen from simulation results that the performance improvement of symbol error rate (SER) is significant compared with S-AF
