Performance analysis on channel capacity in cooperative MIMO system

Recent years,cooperative technology has taken a lot of attention since it can improve the bit error rate (BER) and lower the transmit power in radio mobile networks,especially when the direct channel between the source and the destination is poor.Cooperative multiple input multiple output (Co-MIMO) is a kind of MIMO technique,where the multiple inputs and outputs are formed via cooperation.The capacity of Co-MIMO system over wireless channel has been investigated a lot,however few papers pay attention to the locations of the channel that may affect the probability distributions of the variable and the effect of antenna spatial correlation.The results can be achieved by choosing sub-channels that is not related to other sub-channels.This paper focuses on this problem.The simulation results show that once we search the partner we should consider trade offs cooperation get optimum system performance.It further investigates that cooperation between different terminals can reduce antenna spatial correlation,thereby increase the capacity and throughput of the system,and even reach the ideal capacity of MIMO system.
