摘要
This article considers a wireless multi-hop/mesh network where single multi-antenna source-destination pair communicates through a selected relay subset using simple relay selection under the constraint of fixed relay＇s number. Compared with random selection, the simple relay selection can yield certain capacity advantages while linear zero-forcing （ZF） receiver and linear beamformer are considered at the relay. For match-filter （MF） beamformer and amplified-and-forward （AF） beamformer with a fixed number of relays, the capacities are given. Furthermore, we extend the simple selection methods to the relaying scheme with orthogonal-triangular （QR） beamformer and investigate these linear beamformer schemes over spatially correlated multi-input multi-output （MIMO） links for both the backward and forward channel over the two-bop MIMO relay networks.
