Abstract:
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay communications are viewed as one of the most promising techniques to improve the reliability and coverage of wireless systems. Recently, the optimization of amplify-and-forward MIMO relay networks has gained much attention. In this talk, we provide an overview of our results obtained in this area, with a focus on efficient signal processing algorithms for the design of transceiver and relay precoding matrices. Different MIMO relay network configurations including multihop one-way relays, two-way relays, and multiuser relay networks are considered.
