Abstract
In this paper, the relay link performance for an Amplify and Forward (AF) multi-antenna relay based heterogeneous LTE (Long Term Evolution) network is enhanced with two novel techniques, the Golden codes and Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) based Constellation Combiner (ECC). The performance evaluation of the proposed co-operative LTE Het-Net is done in a real time indoor environment using Wireless open Access Research Platform (WARP). The proposed techniques for the LTE Het-Net are compared with traditional Alamouti Scheme with Maximal Ratio Combing (MRC). From the obtained results it is seen that the LTE network with proposed techniques gives a 12% improvement in EVM than the conventional LTE network.
