Abstract

Cooperative diversity or user cooperation achieves the diversity gain without adding physical antennas to the users. The users work in cooperative fashion using their single antennas to create a virtual multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system. The diversity gain achieved by cooperative diversity can be further improved using error correction codes. Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are linear block codes with good error correction capabilities. We present a novel approach using extended LDPC codes to increase the diversity gain in cooperative diversity.
