In the paper, the source/relays-precoders and destination-equalizer combined optimization is proposed in a dual-hop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) amplify-and -forward (AF) multiple-relay system with correlated channel uncertainties in both hops. By taking correlated channel uncertainties into account, a robust transceiver joint design is developed based on the minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) criterion under individual power constraints at the source and relays. Simulation results illustrate that the robust transceiver design architecture for an AF-MIMO system equipped with multiple relays outperforms substantially the non-robust transceiver design.
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.
