Abstract

This chapter provides a brief introduction to background materials. First, multiple-antenna system and space-time coding are reviewed in Sect. 1.1. Then we explain the motivation of cooperative relay network and a few widely used cooperative schemes in Sect. 1.2. In Sect. 1.3, we define and discuss in detail diversity order, a performance measure for reliability. A brief introduction on channel training in multiple-antenna system and relay network is provided in Sect. 1.4. In the last section of this chapter, notation used in this book are explained. References on space-time coding, cooperative relay network, and training in multiple-antenna system and cooperative relay network are provided at the end for the benefit of interested readers.
