Abstract
Most literature about cooperative diversity focus on ad-hoc networks. In this paper, we study cooperative diversity in cellular networks. Our work is based upon virtual antenna arrays (VAA). We show that VAA is superior not only in maximum mutual information but also in outage probability performance. We also propose a distributed method to select multiple relay mobile terminals (MTs) in opportunistic way.
