Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a method to increase the performance of cooperative communication using polar codes. For this purpose, we consider non-line-of sight (NLOS) cooperative communication scheme where destination node does not receive signal from source directly. The relay nodes use decodes and forward approach. We propose a voting scheme for the relay nodes, which share information among them. It is shown by the simulation results that the proposed approach significantly improves the performance of relayed communication.
