以前的中继网络的工作主要集中在这种技术的多样性的好处。本文探讨了在中继网络中获得复用增益的可能性，同时保留分集增益。具体地，考虑其中单个源节点配备有一个天线并且目的地配备有两个天线的网络。它示出，在某些情况下，通过添加一个中继与两个天线，并使用一个连续的中继协议，分集复用的折衷性能的网络可以由一个2 × 2 MIMO信道的下界，当解码和转发协议应用在中继。提出了一种分布式D-BLAST体系结构，在该体系结构中，采用并行信道编码来实现这一折衷。一个空时编码策略，它可以带来一个以上的最大复用增益，也推导出这种情况下。如将示出的，虽然这种空时编码策略利用最大分集用于小的复用增益，但是所提出的连续中继方案为更高的数据速率传输提供了显著的性能优势。除了这里显示的具体结果，这些想法开辟了一个新的方向，利用无线中继网络的好处。
Previous work on relay networks has concentrated primarily on the diversity benefits of such techniques. This paper explores the possibility of also obtaining multiplexing gain in a relay network, while retaining diversity gain. Specifically, consider a network in which a single source node is equipped with one antenna and a destination is equipped with two antennas. It is shown that, in certain scenarios, by adding a relay with two antennas and using a successive relaying protocol, the diversity multiplexing tradeoff performance of the network can be lower bounded by that of a 2 by 2 MIMO channel, when the decode-and-forward protocol is applied at the relay. A distributed D-BLAST architecture is developed, in which parallel channel coding is applied to achieve this tradeoff. A space-time coding strategy, which can bring a maximal multiplexing gain of more than one, is also derived for this scenario. As will be shown, while this space-time coding strategy exploits maximal diversity for a small multiplexing gain, the proposed successive relaying scheme offers a significant performance advantage for higher data rate transmission. In addition to the specific results shown here, these ideas open a new direction for exploiting the benefits of wireless relay networks.
