Optimizing Quantize-Map-and-Forward in Slow Fading Relay Networks

Christina Fragouli, Ayan Sengupta, I-Hsiang Wang

Quantize-Map-and-Forward (QMF) relaying has been shown to achieve the optimal diversity-multiplexing trade-off (DMT) for the slow fading single-antenna relay channel, regardless of whether the relay is full-duplex or half-duplex. A key reason for the DMT o ...

Towards integrating Quantize-Map-Forward relaying into LTE

Christina Fragouli, Suhas Diggavi, Emre Atsan

We present a method to integrate the Quantize-Map-Forward (QMF) relaying scheme [1] into the standard LTE operation, for a two-relay diamond network configuration. Our approach implements QMF using mainly existing LTE modules and functionalities, and resul ...
