Development of cooperative relay using universal software radio peripheral

To meet the demand for high speed data, wireless cellular system technology has grown in a steady pace. However, the wireless signals are still vulnerable to the multipath fading, shadowing and path loss, making the communication less reliable. Cooperative relay is a techniques to improve signal rel...

Cooperative relay is a techniques to improve signal reliability by introducing a an additional node between source terminal and destination terminal to provide redundant path for data transmission.

The performance in terms of bit error rate (BER) of the cooperative relay link is compared with the direct link without relay. The measurement is carried out in the indoor environment.
