In the thesis, we investigate transmit beamforming strategies in a wireless cooperative network consisting of one source, one destination and multi relays that adopt amplify-and-forward (AF). In our scheme, small amount of information feedback from the destination, each relays perturbs individually based beamforming coefficient. Perturbation-based beamforming have been proposed in [16], where the authors assume that the channel is time-invariant, and every relay node can not acquire channel state information (CSI) after receiving pilot sequence signals, the relays multiply the pilot sequence with two perturbed beamforming vectors, and forward
two weighted training sequence to destination. At the destination, the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of two received training sequence are evaluated and compared. Finally, the destination compare with SNRs. To indicate the result of compared SNRs,
destination feedback one-bit message to inform relays the comparison results, and then relays update beamforming vector based on one-bit message. After several iteration, the beamforming vector will approach the optimum one. However, in time-varying environment, the updating rata of beamforming vector in the method with one-bit feedback may be more slowly than rate of channel variation. The contribution of this thesis is to propose transmit beamforming scheme with two-bit or finite-bit feedback to accommodate to the time-varying environment. In our proposed scheme, the destination linearly combines two received sequence corresponding to two different beamforming vectors with various weighting factors. After evaluating and comparing the SNRs of combined signals, the destination notifies the optimum linear combining factors using a multi-bit feedback message. Based on the feedback message, relays can update the beamforming vector correspondingly. In chapter five, it shows through computer simulations that our proposed scheme can raise average SNR and reduce bit error rate effectively.
