In particular, cooperative communication with a single relay is a simple, practical technology for wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we analyze several simple network topologies. Under the condition of equal power allocating, the optimum relay location of each network topology are respectively made sure by using symbol error rate (SER) formula. And these types of topologies are compared, the analysis results show that, linear network topology has the best system performance, the system performance of isosceles triangle topology is better than that of equilateral triangle topology.展开更多

In this paper, we present the optimal weight design for the destination in AF (Amplify and Forward) relay system, where the optimally designed MRC (Maximum Ratio Combining) is employed at the destination for S→D link (direct link between source and destination) and R→D links (indirect links between relays and destination). We investigate the BER performance of 1S→NR→LD system composed of one source, N relay nodes equipped with single antenna and one destination node equipped with L antennas, which also includes 1S→1R→LD and 1S→NR→1D. Simulation and numerical results are presented to verify our analysis.展开更多
