Relay Selection for Bidirectional AF Relay Network with Outdated CSI
Most previous researches on bidirectional relay selection (RS) typically
assume perfect channel state information (CSI). However, outdated CSI, caused
by the the time-variation of channel, cannot be ignored in the practical
system, and it will deteriorate the performance. In this paper, the effect of
outdated CSI on the performance of bidirectional amplify-and-forward RS is
investigated. The optimal single RS scheme in minimizing the symbol error rate
(SER) is revised by incorporating the outdated channels. The analytical
expressions of end-to-end signal to noise ratio (SNR) and symbol error rate
(SER) are derived in a closed-form, along with the asymptotic SER expression in
high SNR. All the analytical expressions are verified by the Monte-Carlo
simulations. The analytical and the simulation results reveal that once CSI is
outdated, the diversity order degrades to one from full diversity. Furthermore,
a multiple RS scheme is proposed and verified that this scheme is a feasible
solution to compensate the diversity loss caused by outdated CSI.Comment: accepted by IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technolog
