Abstract
In cooperative networks, the interference reduction techniques depend upon coordination among cells by setting up relays between multiple inputs multiple output (MIMO) configurations. The energy efficient technique, cooperative MIMO (C-MIMO) is employed in this paper. The bit inter-leaved coded modulation (BICM) and bit inter-leaved coded modulation with iterative decoding (BICM-ID) code are used to get the better performance of the system. The ½ coding rate is used over both fading and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. The simulation outcomes show that the cooperative communication scheme outstrips the single input single output (SISO) technique for BICM and BICMID. The bit error rate (BER) of the system is examined under various statistical distributions like Nakagamim, Rician-k and Rayleigh.
