Combining Decoded-and-Forwarded Signals in Gaussian Cooperative Channels

TL;DR: This paper more deeply looks at the case where the relays are in bad reception conditions and the cooperation powers are sufficiently high, and in this situation using a conventional MRC severely degrades the receiver performance.

Virtual MIMO schemes for downlink space-frequency coding OFDM systems

TL;DR: This work evaluates the performance of single-relay cooperative scheme, where the source is equipped with a 2-antenna array and both the relay and destination with a single antenna, and compares against non-cooperative OFDM based systems for typical pedestrian scenarios based on LTE specifications.

And resource management

TL;DR: The behavior of predators, both natural and human, must be influenced by the need to obtain information pertaining to the location and abundance of their prey, and this fact opens up a number of questions of strategic nature for the predator.

Capacity Performance of Amplify-and-Forward MIMO Relay with Transmit Antenna Selection and Maximal-Ratio Combining

TL;DR: C capacity performance analysis is presented for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay channels with transmit antenna selection and maximal-ratio combining receive in amplify-and-forward (AF) relay networks operating over flat Rayleigh fading channels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Outage Performance of Decode-and-Forward in Two-Way Relaying With Outdated CSI

TL;DR: A new relay selection metric is proposed to take into consideration both transmission rates and instantaneous link conditions between cooperating nodes to assess the accuracy of the analytical derivations and confirm the performance gain of the proposed scheme.

Noiseless coding of correlated information sources

TL;DR: The minimum number of bits per character R_X and R_Y needed to encode these sequences so that they can be faithfully reproduced under a variety of assumptions regarding the encoders and decoders is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-terminal communication channels

TL;DR: A coding theorem and weak converse are proved and a necessary and sufficient condition for a positive capacity is derived and upper and lower bounds on the capacity are obtained, which coincide for channels with symmetric structure.

Source coding with side information and a converse for degraded broadcast channels

TL;DR: In Section H of the paper, a characterization of the capacity region for degraded broadcast channels (DBC's) is given, which was conjectured by Bergmans and is somewhat sharper than the one obtained by Gallager.

A proof of the data compression theorem of Slepian and Wolf for ergodic sources (Corresp.)

TL;DR: It is established that the Slepian-Wolf theorem is true without change for arbitrary ergodic processes \{(X_i,Y_i)\}_{i=1}^{\infty} and countably infinite alphabets.

On source coding with side information at the decoder

TL;DR: The characterization of the family of rate triples (R_0,R_1, R_2) for which this system can deliver essentially perfect reproductions of X and Y and the principal result is a characterization of this family via an information-theoretic minimization.
