Ergodic Rates of the Fast Rayleigh Fading Relay Channel for Different Cooperative Strategies
ACM Computing Classification System (1998): E.4, C.2.1. This paper investigates the ergodic rates of three cooperative strategies for the fast Rayleigh fading relay channel, namely, decode-andforward (DF), compress-and-forward (CF) and amplify-and-forward (AF). The transmitter-relay, relay-receiver and transmitter-receiver links experience independent fast Rayleigh fading. Our analysis considers both fullduplex and half-duplex modes of operation of the relay channel, assuming that perfect...
