Abstract:

Unlike the existing detectors, which are developed for decode-and-forward (DF) networks in the ideal interference-free case, we consider a more practical scenario where arbitrary interference exists. We consider a DF cooperative network consisting of a source, multiple relays, a destination, and multiple interferers affecting both the relays and the destination. Each relay is equipped with multiple antennas and knows its local instantaneous channel state information (CSI). Assuming that the destination knows the instantaneous CSI of the source-relay, relay-destination, and source-destination channels, we develop, for the first time in the literature, the end-to-end optimum maximum-likelihood (ML) detectors in closed-form for DF systems employing either simultaneous or orthogonal transmissions in the presence of interference. Furthermore, theoretical analysis shows that the proposed detectors achieve full diversity gains in the presence of interference with finite interference-to-noise ratios. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed optimum detectors substantially outperform the conventional schemes which simply ignore interference.
