Based on amplifyandforward (AF) protocol, two new distributed beamforming schemes named IRZF-MF and RZF were proposed for this system. The RZF scheme uses RZF technique for both receive and transmit beamforming while the IRZF-MF scheme uses IRZF and MF technique for receive and transmit beamforming respectively. The simulation results show that the proposed two relay schemes achieve the same performance of existing MF-RZF scheme in the Rayleigh channel, meanwhile, the proposed RZF scheme achieves the best performance which requires a higher computational complexity and the proposed IRZFMF scheme achieves the second best performance while requires less computational complexity than RZF scheme in the Rician channel compared with other existing distributed relaying schemes.
