Abstract

In this work we propose a joint relay and transmit–receive antenna selection method for amplify and forward asynchronous distributed space time block coded (ADSTBC) system. To the LDPC coded signal received from the source at the relays, we apply linear dispersion codes which are optimized over the delay profile of the system to produce the ADSTBC. Selection of the best transmit–receive antenna pair between source and selected relays, and that of between the selected relays and destination is done on the basis of instantaneous signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the respective paths. The relays and transmit-receive antenna pairs are selected by maximizing the end-to-end instantaneous SNR. Performance analysis of the system is done on the basis of pair wise error probability and outage probability (Pout).
