In this paper, a decode-and-forward (DF) cooperative diversity scheme is considered for dynamic relay networks, where each node is equipped with a single antenna. A randomized space-time block coding (STBC) cooperative relaying scheme has been proposed to get spatial diversity gains without centralized control information. However, it can not get maximum diversity gain when the number of active relay nodes is small. In this paper, we propose a limited feedback scheme to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of the randomized STBC scheme. Simulation results reveal that the proposed feedback scheme can achieve almost the same BER performance as the centralized STBC scheme in some channel conditions. In addition, it does not degrade the performance of the randomized STBC scheme even with a large feedback delay.
