Cooperative communications techniques exploit the spatial diversity of wireless radio channel by forming antenna arrays in order to achieve Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) performance in multi-user single-antenna environment. The improvements can be in terms of higher data rate, lower transmission power, or increase coverage in the network. In this paper we propose a new cooperative relaying concept using soft information and distributed turbo decoding. The relay regenerates a Log-Likelihood Ratios (LLRs) using a Soft Input Soft Output (SISO) decoder, then forwards this a posteriori information to the destination in its soft form yielding a likelihood for every source transmitted bit. At destination, the forwarded bits serve as a priori information to assist the iterative turbo decoding. Our results show that the gain achievable using the conventional cooperative diversity is obtained through our schemes with less amount of overhead.
