Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the performance of single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE) for distributed space-time block coded (DSTBC) systems with Non-Regenerative (or amplify-and-forward) relaying over frequency-selective Rician fading channels. Our performance analysis demonstrates that SC-FDE for DSTBC is able to achieve a maximum diversity order of R i1 min (L SRi, L RiD) R, where R is the number of relays, L SRi and L RiD are the channel memory lengths for source to i th relay (S R i) link and i th relay to destination (R t D) link, respectively. Furthermore, to overcome the loss in bandwidth efficiency due to the deployment of orthogonal DSTBC, we present and investigate several relay selection strategies for D-SC-FDE over frequency selective channels.
