Abstract

The optimum resource allocation in relay networks is used to improve the error performance and increase the energy efficiency. In this paper, a two-dimensional resource allocation, i.e., the energy optimization and location optimization, is carried out based on the average symbol error rate (SER) for the system with and without a direct link. Differential modulation which bypasses the channel estimation at the transceiver is investigated using amplify-and-forward protocol for the system with multiple relays. We also show that the minimum error rate can be achieved via the joint energy-location optimization.
