A Time Efficient Multi-User Relay Strategy for Cooperative MIMO Networks

In this paper, we propose a relay strategy, which can be applied to a multi-user cooperative network. The proposed relaying scheme achieves significant reduction in the time-slots required for the relaying of the data of multiple users with small performance loss as compared to the conventional relaying scheme.
