Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) linear receivers are often of more practical interest than maximum-likelihood (ML) receivers due to their low decoding complexity but at the cost of worse diversity gain performance.

Relays in cellular systems are interference limited. The highest end-to-end sum rates are achieved when the relays are jointly optimized with the transmit strategy. Unfortunately, interference couples the links together, making joint optimization challenging. Further, the end-to-end multihop performance is sensitive to rate mismatch when some links have a dominant first link, whereas others have a... View full abstract»
