Mallik We propose some new adaptive amplify-and-forward AF and decode-and-forward DF protocols using a selection. The new selection criterion is a function of the instantaneous capacities of all possible transmission schemes with or without cooperation . Outage probabilities and simulation results show that the adaptive cooperation protocols solve the problem of bad performance of cooperation protocols at low SNR. Moreover they improve the asymptotic performance of their corresponding AF and DF protocols. Copyright 2008 Charlotte Hucher et al.

INTRODUCTION Diversity techniques have been developed in order to combat fading on wireless channels and improve the reliability of the received message. Recently cooperation has been proposed as a new mean to obtain space-time or cooperative diversity 1 2 . Different nodes in the network cooperate in order to form a virtual MIMO system and exploit space-time diversity even if their hardware constraints do not allow them to support several antennas. Many cooperative protocols have been proposed 3-6 which can be classified in three main families amplify-and-forward AF decode-and-forward DF and compress-and-forward CF . In this paper we are interested in the two first families which are .
