The Performance of Cooperative MIMO Scheme under Slow Fading Channel based on Fountain Code

Nowadays, the video calling, video on demand (VOD) and more services are desired for users. These services generate large traffic which requires special techniques for transmission without outages or failure during transmission operation. Fountain Code is the newest method in the encoding theory and it is handle designed to large data. Besides, modern MIMO channel gives higher capacity than traditional channel (SISO channel). This paper looks out of the performance of Fountain Code on MIMO Scheme under Slow Fading Channel. The results show the performance is the best on MIMO (DF). In addition, the performance increases by increasing in the number of receiver antennas. Keywords: Fountain Code, Luby Transform, Cooperative MIMO, Slow Fading, Bit Error Rate, Decode and Forward (DF)
