Abstract

The goals of this demonstration are twofold. First, the demonstration seeks to provide an easy visualization of the effects multipath fading has on a wireless link and the benefits that cooperative communications can offer in mitigating this channel impairment. It does so by offering visual display of channel quality and receiver statistics. Second, it highlights the usefulness of software-defined radio (SDR) as a tool for wireless experimentation. This second objective is accomplished through the use of a custom SDR prototype within the cooperative demonstration.
