The quantize-and-forward (QF) cooperative protocol can effectively be used to combat fading in systems using half-duplex relay terminals. While the outage behavior of the QF protocol has been extensively investigated, few research has been performed …
The Quantize and Forward cooperative communication protocol improves the reliability of data transmission by allowing a relay to forward to the destination a quantized version of the signal received from the source. In prior studies of the Quantize …
A method to improve the reliability of data transmission between two terminals without using multiple antennas is cooperative communication, where spatial diversity is introduced by the presence of a relay terminal. The Quantize and Forward (QF) …
