Special Issue on Coding and Modulation for Cooperative Communications
In wireless communications, one of the major active research areas is cooperative communications, which has
been recognized as one of the promising techniques for future high speed networks. As we recall in the past
modem designs and high speed wired communications systems, coding and modulation had played one of the
major roles for their advancements, such as trellis coded modulation (TCM) and OFDM (or DMT) systems, we
believe that coding and modulation for cooperative communications will play a similar role for high speed
wireless communications systems. The main goal of this special issue is to publish the research advances in
this important area.
Topics of interest for this special issue include, but not limited to, the following:
- 1) Space-time coding for cooperative networks;
2) Analog network coding for cooperative networks;
3) Network coding for cooperative systems;
4) Joint coding and modulation issues;
5) Schemes for combating timing errors and frequency offsets from relays;
6) Efficient cooperative protocols and coding and modulation designs;
7) Relay strategies and coding/modulation designs;
8) Multi-way relay networks;
9) Signal processing algorithms for distributed decoding and demodulations;
10) Distributed space-time coding for OFDM systems in cooperative systems;
11) Practical implementation and measurement results for cooperative networks
12) Cooperation in cognitive radio systems
