Cooperative space-frequency coding for broadband relay channels
In this paper, a new distributed space-frequency coding (DSFC) scheme, for broadband fading relay channels is presented. This scheme exhibits a spatial and a multipath diversity in a distributed fashion. An upper-bound on the pairwise error probability (PEP) is derived. From this PEP bound, it is shown that the proposed coding scheme achieves a diversity of order NL , where N is the number of rela
