We consider a relay channel for which the following assumptions are made. (1) The source-destination and relay-destination channels are orthogonal (frequency division relay channel). (2) The relay implements the decode-and-forward protocol. (3) The source and relay implement the same channel encoder, namely, a convolutional encoder. (4) They can use arbitrary and possibly different modulations. In this framework, we derive the best combiner in the sense of the maximum likelihood (ML) at the destination and the branch metrics of the trellis associated with its channel decoder for the ML combiner and also for the maximum ratio combiner (MRC), cooperative-MRC (C-MRC), and the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) combiner.

Space object recognition in high Earth orbits (between 2000 km and 36,000 km) is affected by moonlight and clouds, resulting in some bright or saturated image areas and uneven image backgrounds. It is difficult to separate dim objects from complex backgrounds with gray thresholding methods alone. In this paper, we present a segmentation method of star images with complex backgrounds based on correlation between space objects and one-dimensional (1D) Gaussian morphology, and the focus is shifted from gray thresholding to correlation thresholding. We build 1D Gaussian functions with five consecutive column data of an image as a group based on minimum mean square error rules, and the correlation coefficients between the column data and functions are used to extract objects and stars. Then, lateral correlation is repeated around the identified objects and stars to ensure their complete outlines, and false alarms are removed by setting two values, the standard deviation and the ratio of mean square error and variance. We analyze the selection process of each thresholding, and experimental results demonstrate that our proposed correlation segmentation method has obvious advantages in complex backgrounds, which is attractive for object detection and tracking on a cloudy and bright moonlit night.
