In the cooperative communications, the users relay each other¡¦s signal and thus forming multiple transmission paths to the destination and therefore the system can achieve spatial diversity gain. Decode-and-forward and amplify-and-forward are the most popular relaying strategies in the literature due to their simplicity. However, in practice, cooperative users acting as relays may not always normally operated or trustworthy. When the relay misbehavior is present in
the cooperative networks, the communication performance may degrade dramatically and the users may be even better off without cooperation. Therefore, it is necessary for the destination to determine the misbehaving relays and to take appropriate actions to ensure that cooperative advantages are preserved. In this thesis, we focus on developing a misbehaving relay detection method to detect whether or not the system is in the presence of some misbehaving relays. After performing misbehaving relay detection, the destination removes the signals from the un-
reliable paths and then uses maximal ratio combing to achieve spatial diversity. The simulation results conducted by the thesis show that the proposed method is more robust as compared with those without employing misbehaving relay detection when the system is in the presence of some misbehaving relays.
