However, a lot of cooperative diversity schemes require perfect synchronization which is, in practice, difficult and even impossible to be realized. In this paper, we propose an asynchronous cooperative diversity scheme based on the linear dispersion code （LDC）. By adding the zero padding （ZP） between linear dispersion codewords, our scheme mitigates the effect of asynchronism effectively. The length of ZP is decided by relative timing errors between different relays. Besides, an easy decoding method of our scheme is given in this paper by restructuring the stacked channel matrix.展开更多
