Zero-Forcing Based Two-phase Relaying

— In cellular mobile communication systems, the link performance can be remarkably improved by deploying relays between the base station and the mobile station. In this paper we propose an efficient duplexing scheme so that both spatial and temporal gain by adding relays can be increased. Using the proposed relaying scheme, the conventional system of four-phase relaying can be simplified to a two-phase relaying system and the additional resource consumption due to relays can be minimized. We show the capacity gain for cell edge users with numerical results.
