A simple Cooperative diversity method based on network path selection

TL;DR: A novel scheme that first selects the best relay from a set of M available relays and then uses this "best" relay for cooperation between the source and the destination and achieves the same diversity-multiplexing tradeoff as achieved by more complex protocols.

Cooperative Communications with Outage-Optimal Opportunistic Relaying

TL;DR: These findings reveal that cooperation offers diversity benefits even when cooperative relays choose not to transmit but rather choose to cooperatively listen; they act as passive relays and give priority to the transmission of a single opportunistic relay.

Antenna selection in MIMO systems

TL;DR: Classic results on selection diversity, followed by a discussion of antenna selection algorithms at the transmit and receive sides, and extensions of classical results to antenna subset selection are presented.

MIMO systems with antenna selection

TL;DR: In this article, an overview of MIMO systems with antenna selection is presented, where the antenna diversity is used to increase the capacity of the system and the use of the multiple antennas for the transmission of parallel data streams is discussed.

Analysis of hybrid selection/maximal-ratio combining of diversity branches with unequal SNR in Rayleigh fading

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a hybrid selection/maximal-ratio combining (H-S/MRC) diversity system in multipath fading environment is analyzed, where L out of N diversity branches are selected and combined using maximal ratio combining (MRC).

Combined average SNR of a generalized diversity selection combining scheme

TL;DR: The average signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) of a generalized selection combining (GSC) scheme, in which the m diversity branches with the largest instantaneous SNRs are selected and coherently combined, is derived.

Canonical expressions for the error probability performance of M-ary modulation with hybrid selection/maximal-ratio combining in Rayleigh fading

TL;DR: This work derives closed-form expressions for the symbol error probability (SEP) of a H-S/MRC diversity system with arbitrary L and N using maximal-ratio combining (MRC).
