The invention discloses an
MIMO (
multiple input multiple output) cooperative
relay selection method. The method includes: employing
MIMO channel capacity, node normalized transmitting power, receiving antenna
signal-to-
noise ratio balance and
MIMO channel relevancy as inputs of a fuzzy
algorithm, employing two fuzzy rules, with the primary
fuzzy rule being used for describing correlation among the
MIMO channel capacity, the node normalized transmitting power and
MIMO relay selection and the secondary
fuzzy rule being used for describing the correlation among the receiving antenna
signal-to-
noise ratio balance, the
MIMO channel relevancy and the
MIMO relay selection, by means of the fuzzy
algorithm, fusing
MIMO relay selection results which are output and which pass the fuzzy rules, and thus determining the MIMO
relay node required. The method has the advantages that the characteristics of the MIMO technique are fully considered, the characteristics are combined with the
relay selection problem by means of the
fuzzy mathematics, the novel MIMO relay
selection method simple and practical is formed, performance of an MIMO cooperative communication
system is further improved, and the method is of good flexibility and low implementing complexity.
