Advanced Relay Technologies in Next Generation Wireless Communications

Advanced Relay Technologies in Next Generation Wireless Communications describes the use of the highly successful cooperative networks/relaying approach in new and emerging telecommunications technologies such as full-duplex radio, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), network coding and spatial modulation, and new application areas including visible light communications (VLC), molecular communications, wireless power transfer, and 5G.

Topics covered include:

-spatial modulation for cooperative networks

-relaying for massive MIMO; relaying for outdoor to indoor in mmWave communications

-precoding techniques for relaying with interference

-relaying in full-duplex radio communication systems

-relay selection in modern communication systems

-relaying in green communications systems

-energy-efficient relaying

-cognitive radio with relaying

-relaying in non-ideal conditions

-relaying and physical layer secrecy relaying technologies for smart grid

-simultaneous wireless and power transfer for interference relay channel

-relaying in visible light communication systems

-on-ground and on-board signal processing for multibeam precoding.
