Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting data from a source wireless device to a destination wireless device, the method comprising: a) receiving, with each of a plurality of relay wireless devices, a transmission of the data from the source wireless device; b) splitting, with each of the plurality of relay wireless devices, the received transmission into K streams; c) encoding, with each of the plurality of relay wireless devices, each of the K streams; d) applying, with each of the plurality of relay wireless devices, multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) encoding to the K encoded streams to generate K parallel streams; e) independently generating, with each of the plurality of relay wireless devices, a random vector of length K; f) linearly combining, with each of the plurality of relay wireless devices, the K parallel streams using the random vector to obtain an output signal; and g) transmitting, with each of the plurality of relay wireless devices, the output signal to the destination device.
