Cooperative relaying is a low-complexity diversity technique to combat transmission impairments due to multipath fading and path loss. A common approach to maintain orthogonal transmissions required to achieve diversity is through time-division multiple access (TDMA), which schedules a source node to transmit and then defers a new transmission until the relay retransmission finishes. To avoid such... View full abstract»

Conventional resource-allocation schemes in orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA) systems consider only one bit-error-rate (BER) requirement. When these schemes are applied to transmit bitstreams with multiple BER requirements, low resource utilization will occur since the target BER has to be the strictest one.
