Macro and micro diversity improvement with Patched dynamic decode and forward relaying

In this paper, we consider the improvement of the macro and micro diversity by the help of relays using a dynamic decode and forward (DDF) protocol. We first derive bounds on the macro and micro diversity for DDF and Patched-DDF protocols using distributed Mono-stream and Alamouti schemes. We then derive an auto-organized behavior of the relay that maximizes the macro and micro diversity of the broadcast application.
