A Novel Quantize-and-Forward Cooperative System: Channel Estimation and M-PSK Detection Performance

A method to improve the reliability of data transmission between two terminals without using multiple antennas is cooperative communication, where spatial diversity is introduced by the presence of a relay terminal. The Quantize and Forward (QF) protocol is suitable to implement in resource constrai...
