Abstract: This article presents a multihop spatial multiplexing cooperative MIMO (SM-CMIMO) transmission scheme. The SM-CMIMO scheme employs a novel configuration on MIMO system which works in a cooperative manner, to achieve a least energy consuming path, with reduced rate of bit error and higher data rate. In this approach, list of relay nodes located in equal distance at any route towards destination selected. The source selects a set of relay nodes and cooperative nodes to frame a cooperative MIMO System. The cooperative nodes are selected using NSA (Node Selection Algorithm) with no channel state, bit error rate and data rate constraints. Each hop is evaluated for suitable replacement with V-MIMO configurations. To reduce the depletion of energy at MIMO cooperative network, at the middle of these hops, relay nodes are selected and evaluated for possible replacement of long-hop with two smaller MIMO transmission hops. We show that proposed SM-CMIMO transmission offers significant energy efficiency improvement compared with SISO transmission. The performance of the system degrades indirectly with the channel correlation.
