Description
Summary:The thesis investigates robust linear and non-linear transceiver design problems for wireless MIMO relay communication systems with the assumption that the partial information of the channel is available at the relay node. The joint source and relay optimization problems for MIMO relay systems are highly nonconvex, in general. We transform the problems into suitable forms which can be efficiently solved using standard convex optimization techniques. The proposed design schemes outperform the existing techniques.
