The channel is assumed to be perfectly known at the receiver but not at the transmitter. Iterative multistage decoding is done. The performance of the system is derived using Monte Carlo simulation. Compared to a single stage bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM), results show that a 1 dB gain in performance is reached.

In scenarios where practical constraints prevent the collocation of multiple antennas on a single user terminal, collaboration between single-antenna nodes becomes the only viable solution. Among cooperative schemes, collaborative ARQ transmission protocols, prescribing cooperation only upon erroneous decoding by the destination, emerge as an interesting solution in terms of achievable spectral efficiency. In this paper, an information theoretical approach is presented for assessing the performance of collaborative hybrid-ARQ protocol based on incremental redundancy. Upper and lower bounds for the expected number of retransmissions and the average throughput are derived in explicit form, for any number of relays.

This problem arises in the stability-wise optimal scheduling policy that allocates the resource as a function of the buffer queue states and the channel matrices in each time slot. The straightforward generalization of Yu et al.'s well-known iterative waterfilling algorithm for the sum rate maximization is non-trivial because the problem cannot reduce to decoupled single-user waterfilling-type solutions with arbitrary weights. Therefore, we propose a simple alternative treating multiple antennas at each transmitter as virtual single-antenna transmitters, which enables a iterative waterfilling-type algorithm.
