Abstract
Recent mobile applications have required high data rate. In metropolitan areas where data traffic is higher than other areas, heterogeneous networks (HetNet) are used to meet the traffic demand (Hoadley and Maveddat in IEEE Commun Mag 19(2):4–5, 2012). The HetNet has several low power base stations or remote radio heads in a macro cell coverage and sometimes coordinates the low power transmission points forming virtual multiple-input and multiple-output system. In this paper, inter-relay interference (IRI) cancellation for two-path relay system is considered. In existing schemes, IRI cancellation is performed at a destination node but proposed method performs the cancellation at relay nodes to reduce the complexity of detection algorithm for the destination node. Simulation results also show that the method of this paper achieves better BER performance than the existing schemes.
