Asymptotic Performance Analysis of a $K$ -Hop Amplify-and-Forward Relay MIMO Channel
Asymptotic Performance Analysis of a $K$ -Hop Amplify-and-Forward Relay MIMO Channel
The present paper studies the asymptotic performance of multi-hop amplify-and-forward relay multiple-antenna communication channels. Each multi-antenna terminal in the network amplifies the received signal, sent by a source, and retransmits it upstream towards a destination. Achievable ergodic rates under both jointly optimal detection and decoding and practical separate decoding schemes …
