Abstract

Cooperative communication in a wireless network can be based on the relay channel model where a set of users act as relays to assist a source terminal in transmitting information to a destination terminal. Recently, the idea of space-time coding (STC) has been applied to wireless networks wherein the relay nodes cooperate to process the received signal from the source and forward them to the destination such that the signal received at the destination appears like a space-time block code (STBC). Such STBCs (referred as distributed space time block codes [DSTBCs]) when appropriately designed are known to offer spatial diversity. It is known that separate classes of DSTBCs can be designed based on the destination‘ s knowledge of various fading channels in the network. DSTBCs designed for the scenario when the destination has either the knowledge of only a proper subset of the channels or no knowledge of any of the channels are called non-coherent DSTBCs. This chapter addresses the problems and results associated with the design, code construction, and performance analysis (in terms of pairwise error probability [PEP]) of various noncoherent DSTBCs.
