In this paper, we consider the performance of a selective Decode-and-Forward (DF) relaying based multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) space-time block coded (STBC) cooperative communication system with single and multiple relays. We begin with a single relay based MIMO STBC system and derive the closed form expression for the end-to-end PEP of coded block detection at the destination node. It is also demonstrated that the MIMO STBC cooperative communication system achieves the full diversity order of the system. We also derive the optimal source relay power allocation which minimizes the end-to-end decoding error of the cooperative system for a given power budget. Subsequently, for the multiple relay scenario, we consider two different relaying protocols based on two-phase and multiphase communication. For each of these multi-relay protocols, we derive the closed form expressions for the end-to-end error rate, diversity order, and optimal power allocation. Simulation results are presented to validate the performance of the proposed single and multiple relay based cooperative communication schemes and the derived analytical results. Further, these schemes can also be seen to lead to a performance improvement compared to several other relaying schemes in existing literature.

This paper analyses the performance of filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) signaling in conjunction with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (OQAM) in multi-user (MU) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Initially, closed form expressions are derived for tight lower bounds corresponding to the achievable uplink sum-rates for FBMC-based single-cell MU massive MIMO systems relying on maximum ratio combining (MRC), zero forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) receiver processing with/without perfect channel state information (CSI) at the base station (BS). This is achieved by exploiting the statistical properties of the intrinsic interference that is characteristic of FBMC systems. Analytical results are also developed for power scaling in the uplink of MU massive MIMO-FBMC systems. The above analysis of the achievable sum-rates and corresponding power scaling laws is subsequently extended to multi-cell scenarios considering both perfect as well as imperfect CSI, and the effect of pilot contamination. The delay-spread-induced performance erosion imposed on the linear processing aided BS receiver is numerically quantified by simulations. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the close match between our analysis and simulations, and to illustrate and compare the performance of FBMC and traditional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based MU massive MIMO systems.
