摘要:

This article considers a wireless multi-hop/mesh network where single multi-antenna source-destination pair communicates through a selected relay subset using simple relay selection under the constraint of fixed relay’s number. Compared with random selection, the simple relay selection can yield certain capacity advantages while linear zero-forcing (ZF) receiver and linear beamformer are considered at the relay. For match-filter (MF) beamformer and amplified-and-forward (AF) beamformer with a fixed number of relays, the capacities are given. Furthermore, we extend the simple selection methods to the relaying scheme with orthogonal-triangular (QR) beamformer and investigate these linear beamformer schemes over spatially correlated multi-input multi-output (MIMO) links for both the backward and forward channel over the two-hop MIMO relay networks.

For match-filter (MF) beamformer and amplified-and-forward (AF) beamformer with a fixed number of relays, the capacities are given. Furthermore, we extend the simple selection methods to the relaying scheme with orthogonal-triangular (QR) beamformer and investigate these linear beamformer schemes over spatially correlated multi-input multi-output (MIMO) links for both the backward and forward channel over the two-hop MIMO relay networks.
