Power-Efficient Relay Selection in Cooperative Networks Using Decentralized Distributed Space-Time Block Coding

Distributed space-time block coding (Dis-STBC) achieves diversity through cooperative transmission among geographically dispersed nodes. In this paper, we present a power-efficient relay-selection strategy for decentralized Dis-STBC in a selective decode-and-forward cooperative network. In particula...
