NJIT is currently seeking commercial partners for the further development and commercialization of this opportunity.
Technology Brief:
Researchers at New Jersey Institute of Technology in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering have proposed a novel transmission and relaying strategy using multi-layer transmission to enable hybrid decode-and –forward (DF) and compress-and-forward (CF) relaying.In this hybrid relaying strategy, each relay forwards part of the decoded messages and a compressed version of the received signal. Based on the information that was received from the relays, destination does decoding using multi-layer strategy. The multi-layer transmission is designed to adaptively leverage the different decoding capabilities of the relays and to enable the hybrid relaying strategy.
