In this paper," joint transmit/receive antenna and relay selection" is proposed to keep the bit error rate and complexity low in cooperative communication. It is assumed that there are multiple users with multiple antennas where only one relay is selected between the source and the destination. Space time block coded (STBC) information is sent through the selected channel where the selection criterion is to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio. The proposed model results in lower bit error rates than only relay or antenna selection which are studied in the literature. ©2010 IEEE.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAntenna selectionCooperative communicationJoint antennasModel resultsMultiple antennaMultiple userRelay selectionSelection criteriaSpace timeSpace-time block codedSystem CapacityCommunicationInformation theoryReceiving antennasSignal processingSignal to noise ratioBit error rateConference Object50751010.1109/SIU.2010.56540812-s2.0-78651437049N/AN/A
