the cooperative cooperative schemes schemes
Creates a “virtual” multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) transmission scheme ⇒ Capacity gains! Operating modes for cooperative schemes:
- Amplify and forward (AF)
The relay amplifies and retransmits the received signal Capacity is close to a M × 2N MIMO system
- Decode and forward (DF)
The relay decodes and transmits the decoded symbols Capacity is close to a (M +R) × 2N MIMO system

cooperative game – A set of players: UE = {1,2,…K} – Actions for each player (relay power) – Utility function to map actions into the real numbers (maximise the bits/joule)
Single link throughput figures have to be scales to a factor K/(K+1)

Conclusions Conclusions
- Cooperation schemes are able to provide multiplexing
gains even if terminals use a single antenna, by using STBC borrowed from MIMO systems
- Capacity approaching schemes may be based on:
- The selection of the STBC or
- The retransmissions at fractional rate
different implications for the selection of the MAC layer and the latency experienced.
- The A&F solution is a good compromise between
performance and complexity of the relay node
