ADAPTIVE RELAY SCHEMES AND VIRTUAL FULL-DUPLEX RELAY OPERATION

摘要

A wireless communication system comprises a source node, a destination node, and a plurality of half-duplex relay nodes disposed between the source node and the destination node. The half-duplex relay nodes are configured in two disjoint paths each comprising an equal number of hops from the source node to the destination node. The source node is configured to alternately transmit information via the two disjoint paths in alternating time slots, and the destination node is configured to alternately receive information via the two disjoint paths in alternating time slots.
