Linear Transceiver Design for Amplify-And-Forward MIMO Relay Systems under Channel Uncertainties

Abstract

In this paper, robust joint design of linear relay precoders and destination equalizers for amplify-and-forward (AF) MIMO relay systems under Gaussian channel uncertainties is investigated. After incorporating the channel uncertainties into the robust design based on the Bayesian framework, a closedform solution is derived to minimize the mean-square-error (MSE) of the received signal at the destination. The effectiveness of the proposed robust transceiver is verified by simulations.
