Abstract

This paper is concerned with the transmission strategies and relay selection for decode-and-forward parallel relay networks (PRNs) based on superposition coding. Our focus is on the minimization of the aggregate transmission power that supports a given transmission rate. In this paper, two transmission strategies are investigated, i.e., an optimalcooperation (OC) strategy requiring strict synchronization at the destination/relay nodes and a no-information-overlapping (NIO) strategy with no synchronization requirement for the ease of implementation using current technologies such as interleavedivision multiple-access (IDMA). Furthermore, a reduced-relayselection (RRS) strategy involving only 2-level superposition coding is given to trade off between complexity and performance. Numerical results show that the performance gap between OC and NIO is negligible, and selecting the best two relay nodes is adequate to achieve most performance gain even when the number of relay nodes is large. ©2008 IEEE.
