Abstract

In the previous chapter, distributed space-time coding (DSTC) is introduced for single-antenna multiple-relay network, where there are multiple relays in the network but every node (the transmitter, the receiver, or a relay) is equipped with a single antenna. In this chapter, DSTC is used for multiple-antenna multiple-relay network, where each node in the network can be equipped with multiple antennas. At first, the multiple-antenna multiple-relay network model is specified in Sect. 3.1. Then the DSTC scheme, its diversity order analysis, and code design are demonstrated in Sect. 3.2. After that, the combination of DSTC and maximum-ratio combining (MRC) is explained in Sect. 3.3. Finally, simulated error probabilities of some multiple-antenna multiple-relay networks are shown.
