RS coded cooperation with adaptive cooperation level scheme over multipath Rayleigh fading channel

This paper presents a new coded cooperation scheme based on Reed Solomon code. The new scheme offers transmission security since the second frame of the partitioned data contains only partial of the parity check data. A new algorithm for handling the choice of cooperation level between the users is also developed. Simulation results of the new scheme over multipath Rayleigh fading channels show around 4 dB diversity gain for the cooperative system.
