METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR FACILITATING A FULL-RATE COOPERATIVE RELAY SYSTEM

摘要

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for facilitating data transmission, such as full-rate data transmission, via a cooperative relay system. During a first time slot, a first source transmission may be received from a source node that includes data and associated parity check bits and a first relay transmission may be received from a first relay node that includes parity check bits associated with data from a prior source transmission. In a second time slot, a second source transmission may be received from the source node that includes data and associated parity check bits and a second relay transmission may be received from a second relay node that includes parity check bits associated with the data from the first source transmission. The data from the first source transmission may then be decoded at least partially based on the first source transmission and the second relay transmission.
