In this paper 1 , two types of MIMO Amplify-and-Forward relay systems are considered: multi-hop and cooperative. For both cases, the problem of maximizing the achievable rate over the covariance matrices of the symbols transmitted by the source and relay linear processing matrix is formulated under the assumption of full channel state information at each node. A sub-optimal iterative algorithm is proposed and proved by numerical simulations to outperform known schemes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
