Abstract
Relay has been a hot research topic and triggered numerous papers in academia. Its ultimate performance is still an open problem since the relay system capacity is still unknown. For modern wireless communications systems, relay is regarded as a strong candidate for improving the system performance and the coverage at cell edges. Relay, especially the decode-and-forward relay, is proved to outperform the repeaters.
