Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product for a peaky binning Relaying Scheme for Wideband/Low Signal-To-Noise Ratio (SNR) Wireless Communications is presented. In a computer system having a source node (S), a relay node (R) and a destination node (D), the method includes transmitting by S a message (m), wherein a first subset of m (m) is transmitted to R and wherein a second subset of m (m) is transmitted to D. The method further includes decoding by R a bin index from the mand forwarding the bin index to D. Additionally the method includes receiving the bin index at D and decoding the bin index and receiving at D the mand decoding the m. The method also includes determining by D the value of m from decoded values of the bin index and the m.
