Abstract

Cooperative communication is a novel approach utilizing limited resources to get reliability. However, overall transmission-rate is reduced to have decomposable composition at the destination node in time-division multiple access (TDMA) system, which diminishes the advantage of cooperation. Recently, a novel use of layered modulation and an adequate cooperative space-time block code (C-STBC) were proposed to solve this drawback. Even though it provided certain level of diversity gain without transmission-rate loss, there is room for improvement. In this paper, we enhance it through the constellation modification and adaptive cooperation schemes. Their effectiveness is evaluated for the multi-band orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) system.
