Two relaying techniques are typically used: either amplify and forward (AF) or decode and forward (DF). This contribution presents a new technique, which combines the main advantages of both AF and DF. This technique amounts to a DF scheme where all operations are performed in a soft-input soft-output fashion. In particular, an encoding technique which uses soft values to incorporate reliability information is proposed. The resulting soft-DF relay can be seen as an analog signal-to-noise ratio enhancer.

The whole technique is divided into two parts: i) a robust design for each particular MIMO link exploiting an imperfect channel state information (CSI) and ii) a multi-user design for the scheduling policy. The link between both stages is practical, intuitive, and simple. The robust MIMO design is based on a worst-case approach that maximizes via convex optimization procedures the worst possible signal to noise ratio (SNR) given a specified channel uncertainty region. The scheduling policy, also calculated with convex optimization techniques, minimizes the total number of utilized subcarriers. Therefore, the design is scalable in the sense of having the capability to incorporate new future potential users.","PeriodicalId":281761,"journal":{"name":"1st IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing, 2005.","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129288949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to alleviate the problem of multipath scattering, the authors propose the combined use of monostatic and bistatic systems. Focusing both images and compensating the bistatic system enables us to place the direct path scatterers at the same position as in the monostatic case. A multiplication of the final images will attenuate the scatterers that are formed by multiple reflections and will therefore reduce artifacts. Results are shown using simulations in which the signatures of several point scatterers overlap for the direct reflections and where the multipath signatures do not; thus allowing the multiplication to enhance the final image.","PeriodicalId":281761,"journal":{"name":"1st IEEE International Workshop on Computational Advances in Multi-Sensor Adaptive Processing, 2005.","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130743381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
