Optimal Robust Transceiver Designs for Non-regenerative Multicasting MIMO Relay Communication Systems

Abstract

The thesis is investigated the robust transceiver designs of two-hop non-regenerative multicasting multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay communication systems with the assumption that the relay knows the partial channel information of the relay-destination and the source-relay links. The source and relay optimization problems are highly nonconvex, in general. The optimization problems are transformed into suitable forms which can be efficiently solved using standard convex optimization techniques. The proposed design schemes outperform the existing techniques.
