Cooperative MIMO OFDM system based on Amplify and Forward Relay: Evaluation of ZF-SIC and MMSE-SIC equalization

In the world of wireless communication, cooperative communication is a modern and unprecedented approach which enables wireless nodes to transfer the information in a cooperative manner and finally to reach the destination without least possible deterioration. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) can provide high data rate and better performance and a combination of OFDM and cooperative communication may push a wireless network forward to its next generation with enhanced reliability and efficiency. In this work, we develop a mathematical model for cooperative multiple input multiple output (MIMO) OFDM system. Results are achieved in the study to evaluate and compare bit error rate (BER) for different detection schemes. Based on the results it can be mentioned that the performance of cooperative MIMO-OFDM with space time block code (STBC) under amplify and forward (AF) relay for the MMSE-SIC detection scheme was found very satisfactory with improved signal to noise ratio (SNR).

W artykule przedstawiono model matematyczny kooperacyjnej komunikacji bezprzewodowej wiele wejść, wiele wyjść (MIMO) z multipleksingiem i ortogonalnym podziałem częstotliwości (OFDM). Określono współczynnik BER (bit error rate) dla różnych metod detekcji. Najlepsze parametry otrzymano dla systemu STBC (space time block code).
