Abstract :
In this paper, we study the relay selection problem for cooperative communications in aircraft approach. We propose to incorporate the airborne trace prediction scheme with the Rician fading channel model to provide a good estimation of channel condition for aircrafts with high speed mobility. Based on this model, the relay selection problem is formulated and transformed to a nonlinear integer programming (NLIP) problem, and two heuristic algorithms are proposed since this problem is NP-hard. We provide simulation results to show that the proposed scheme can guarantee the reliability of transmission with high probability.
