Distributed Space-Time Block Code over Mixed Rayleigh and Rician Frequency-Selective Fading Channels

This paper proposes a new distributed space-time block code (DSTBC) over frequency-selective fading channels for two-hop amplify and forward relay networks, consisting of a source node (S), two relay nodes (R1 and R2), and a destination node (D). The proposed DSTBC is designed to achieve maximal spa...
