moreWith increasing enormous interests have been attracted in theory area due to various technological merits of cooperative communication, particularly the issue of wireless systems are not able to support various antennas due to direction, size and other restrictions (Laneman, Tse &Wornell, 2004). Relay station can help the base station to communicate with a mobile station which is far away from the base station. Therefore, according to this property of relay station, which are generally used in a cellular system in order to extend the cell coverage of a mobile station. Relay station (RS) is fairly lower-cost and occupies smaller area in the real life and it can solve efficiently the issue of cell coverage. Relay station is one of the most significant factor to solve a number of legacy problems in an existing wireless network. This essay discusses relays from several aspects and related techniques. The concepts of relays initially would be mentioned to help reader understand relays' practical functions. In the theory field, it has been proposed transmission strategies and various cooperative diversity protocols which have the potential to improve cooperative techniques between the base stations of cellular systems. Osama, Sara, and Lutz (2012) insists that to guarantee the maximum possible the improvement of limitations by optimizing relays combined with designing other system parameters which is practically encouraged in systems adaptability. Finally, the placement of relay should have significantly considered into as important factors which is able to guarantee the the requirements of a communication link. For instance, the application of the optimal relay station would obviously affect the system performance that are kinds of achieving the improvement and development of diversity gain (Nosratinia, Hunter, & Hedayat, 2004). Concepts In the case of cell coverage extension scenario, the MS is not able to receive the signal of the BS as the MS is located out of the coverage of the BS. This must lead to the BS does not
