SC-FDMA for Mobile Communications

This book examines Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA). Exploring the emerging trend of cooperative communication and how it can improve the physical layer security, it considers the design of distributed coding schemes and protocols for wireless relay networks where users cooperate to send their data to the destination. It also proposes a cooperative diversity protocol implementing space-time coding for an arbitrary number of relay nodes with Amplify-and-Forward (AF) protocol.
