Abstract
A communication node that relays signals between a source node and a destination node includes (a) a first unitary matrix calculation unit configured to calculate a first unitary matrix based on a first channel between the source node and the relay node, (b) a second unitary matrix calculation unit configured to calculate a second unitary matrix based on a second channel between the relay node and the destination node, (c) a transformation matrix estimation unit configured to estimate a transformation matrix based on a triangular matrix derived from QR decomposition of the first and/or second channel matrix, (d) a relaying signal generator configured to generates a relaying signal by multiplying a received signal by at least one of the first unitary matrix, the second unitary matrix, and the transformation matrix, and (e) a transmission unit configured to transmit the relaying signal to the destination node.
