Turbo coded non-coherent cooperative multiplexing based on distributed DUSTM

Cooperative communication can employ multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system while keep only one antenna at any mobile station. However, most schemes concentrate on cooperative diversity and need channel state information (CSI). In this paper, we propose a non-coherent cooperative scheme and give the combination scheme with turbo code to decrease the error rate, and present the corresponding iterative decoding algorithm. Simulation results show that it can greatly improve the system performance compared to the uncoded systems for various transmit and receive antennas.
