Adaptive Power Allocation for Multihop Regenerative Relaying With Limited Feedback

A multihop regenerative relay system is considered. We explore adaptive power allocation (PA) under a total power constraint to minimize the system error probability when the perfect channel state information (CSI) is known at the transmitters. We propose adaptive PA schemes with limited feedback when the transmitters have no perfect knowledge of CSI. Simulation results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed PA scheme with perfect CSI. When no perfect CSI is available at the transmitters, the proposed PA schemes with a small number of feedback bits are able to achieve very close performance to the adaptive PA with perfect CSI.
