I.INTRODUCTION
Cooperative communication has its history which
finds its deep roots to the groundbreaking work of
Van der Meulen when he introduced the idea of
relay channel model, the channel model consists of
a source, destination and relay, whose major

III.COOPERATIVE COMMUNICATION
SCHEMES
As mentioned before, the transmitting user in
cooperative communication not only broadcast
their own message but also relays their
information, to the destination. The schemes by
which the information is being relayed to the
destination can be classified as [5]:
The information rate achievable and relay precoder design of the AF MIMO relay network under
imperfect CSI caused by the presence of CE errors
and FB/FF delay errors have been investigated
[7].The achievable information rate under
imperfect CSI for two CE scenarios have been
derived.: In Case I, both the Source-Relay link and
the Relay-Destination link are estimated at the
destination, whereas in Case II, the Source-Relay
link is estimated at the relay, and the RelayDestination link is estimated at the destination.
Relay pre-coders to maximize the approximate
achievable information rate for various setups have
been proposed next. It has been shown by
numerical results that the MIMO relay network in
Case I always achieves better average achievable
information rate than in Case II. The accuracy
associated with the Source-Relay link is much
more important than that of the Relay-Destination
link. It is possible to achieve higher average
information rate compared with the fixed gain
relaying scheme.

IV.POWER ALLOCATION
A review of power allocation methods under
different network topologies, multiple access
channels, cooperation methods and CSI
assumptions is given in [2].The topology first
studied is three-node topology, then the dual-hop
topology and finally a general multihop topology.
When the CSI is unknown to the transmitter, the
spatial diversity gain is achieved by allowing users
to have a fair share of each others resources. With
full or partial knowledge of the CSI, significant

VI.CONCLUSION
In this paper, an overview of cooperative relay is
given along with its different attributes by which it
gains much attention in the field of high-data-rate,
efficient and reliable wireless communication. It is
emerging as an effective technique for reducing the
effects of path loss, shadowing, and multi-path
fading. Cooperative relaying provides diversity
gain, reduces outage probability and improves BER
performance. Various schemes of cooperative
communication, strategies, advantages and the
challenges of cooperative relay technique has been
discussed in this paper with respect to several
algorithms and systems developed based on this
technique. The whole concept of cooperative relay
deserves much more attention as it can solve
enormous problems faced in todays wireless
communication.
