v5 v6 1 1 [[TracNav(WARPLab/TOC)]] 2 2 3 = Background = 3 = COOPERATIVE PARTIAL DETECTION = 4 5 = - Background = 4 6 In cooperative systems, the relay helps a direct source-destination link. Cooperative communication with multi-antenna relays can significantly increase the reliability and speed. However, cooperative MIMO detection would impose considerable complexity overhead onto the relay if a full detect-and-forward (FDF) strategy is employed. In order to address this challenge, we propose a novel cooperative partial detection (CPD) strategy to partition the detection task between the relay and the destination. CPD utilizes the inherent structure of the tree-based sphere detectors, and modifies the tree traversal so that instead of visiting all the levels of the tree, only a subset of the levels, thus a subset of the transmitted streams, are visited. Based on this methodology, the destination combines the source signal and the partial relay signal to perform the detection step. 5 7 … … 10 12 Using the WARPLab platform, we show that with the CPD approach, the relay can avoid the considerable overhead of MIMO detection while helping the source-destination link to improve its performance. 11 13 12 = WARPLab Experiments of Cooperative Partial Detection =14 = - WARPLab Experiments of Cooperative Partial Detection = 13 15 14 16 In this setup, multiple WARP boards are connected to a host PC through an Ethernet switch. A set of boards are designated as the transmitters and a set of boards are designated as the receivers through the WARPLab framework. To transmit, raw samples (I/Q) values are generated in MATLAB and uploaded to the transmit boards via Ethernet. When the host PC sends a trigger signal to all nodes via Ethernet, the transmit boards modulate the raw samples
