Cooperative location-based adaptive beamforming

Location information is widely used for cooperative techniques in the relays. In this paper we extended our proposed location-based adaptive beamforming algorithm (LBA) with cooperative relay techniques (CLBA) which takes the profit from available positioning information, based on the cooperation and reduction of the convergence time of weights vector determination. The simulation results show that the proposed CLBA algorithm reacts fast and gives small tracking error in cooperative environment.
