Abstract

Many coherent cooperative diversity techniques for wireless relay networks have recently been suggested to improve the overall system performance in terms of the achievable data rate or bit error rate (BER) with low decoding complexity and delay. However, these techniques require channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter side, at the receiver side, or at both sides. Therefore, due to the overhead associated with estimating CSI, distributed differential space-time coding techniques have been suggested to overcome this overhead by detecting the information symbols without requiring any (CSI) at any transmitting or receiving antenna. However, the latter techniques suffer from low performance in terms of BER as well as high latency and decoding complexity. In this paper, a distributed differential beamforming technique with power allocation is proposed to overcome all drawbacks associated with the later techniques without needing CSI at any antenna and to be used for cooperative communication networks. We prove through our analytical and simulation results that the proposed technique outperforms the state-of-the-art techniques in terms of BER with comparably low decoding complexity and latency.

Abstract

This work proposes a new differential cooperative diversity scheme with high data rate and low decoding complexity using the decode-and-forward protocol. The proposed model does not require either differential encoding or channel state information at the source node, relay nodes, or destination node where the data sequence is directly transmitted and the differential detection method is applied at the relay nodes and the destination node. The proposed technique enjoys a low encoding and decoding complexity at the source node, the relay nodes, and the destination node. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed strategy is analyzed by computer simulations in quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel and using the decode-and-forward protocol. The simulation results show that the proposed differential technique outperforms the corresponding reference strategies.
