Abstract
This paper examines differential binary modulation for wireless networks that utilize wireless relays to seek cooperative diversity and improved performance. Two differential cooperative transmission schemes, referred to as differential amplify-and-forward (DAF) and differential decode-and-forward (DDF), respectively, are introduced. These schemes require no channel state information at any node in the system. A set of analytical results pertaining to the probability density function of the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio, average bit error rate, outage probability, and diversity order of the proposed schemes in Rayleigh fading channels are obtained. The analytical results are confirmed by numerical simulations. It is shown that the differential cooperative DAF and DDF schemes achieve cooperative diversity and outperform the conventional noncooperative differential modulation

Jensen-cotes upper and lower bounds on the gaussian Q-function and related functions

TL;DR: New families of lower and upper bounds on Q -functions are presented and the bounds are shown to be tighter than alternatives found in the literature, and in some cases the lower bounds provided find no equivalent in current literature.

Cooperative diversity in wireless networks: Efficient protocols and outage behavior

TL;DR: Using distributed antennas, this work develops and analyzes low-complexity cooperative diversity protocols that combat fading induced by multipath propagation in wireless networks and develops performance characterizations in terms of outage events and associated outage probabilities, which measure robustness of the transmissions to fading.
