Overview of Cooperative Communication Methods

Abstract

The paper presents issues related to the cooperative communication in wireless networks. Cooperative communication involves the use of mobile terminals as relay stations to improve the transmission quality, improve network performance and reduce energy consumption. It is also possible to use several different data transmission standards. The paper presents the methods used to implement cooperative communication. The types of cooperative communication networks are also presented.

Cooperative Power Domain Noma Transmission Using Relays

“…Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been regarded as the best suitable candidate for 5th-generation wireless communication. Cooperative communication is one of the most prominent techniques to enhance system performance, spatial diversity, and user coverage [2]. Cooperative relaying is considered the optimum solution for enhancing small-scale fading and improving system data throughput and spectral efficiency for users far from the base station.…”
