[ML14] On the performance of FBMC-based AF and DF Multiple Access Relay Networks
Conférence Internationale avec comité de lecture :
June 2014,
Mots clés: FBMC, AF, DF, Multiple relay access
Résumé:
We investigate the performance of Filter Bank
Multi-Carrier (FBMC)-based dual-hop Amplify-and-Forward
(AF) and static Decode-and-Forward (DF) in the context of
Multiple access relay networks. We show that, in the context
of Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) communications and their
implementation constraints, AF protocol is more suitable than DF
one. In fact, the former protocol requires low complexity and just
a single receive antenna at the relay node rather than two for the
latter. Furthermore, we show that AF and DF protocols present
almost similar BER performances in the case of a relay with a
single Transmit antenna for both ZF and MMSE equalizers.
