In this paper, an energy efficient cooperative MIMO (C-MIMO) technique is proposed where low density parity check (LDPC) code is used as an error correcting code. The rate of LDPC code is varied by varying the length of message and parity bits. Simulation results show that the cooperative communication scheme outperforms SISO scheme in the presence of LDPC code. LDPC codes with different code rates are compared using bit error rate (BER) analysis. BER is also analyzed under different Nakagami fading scenario. Energy efficiencies are compared for different targeted probability of bit error pb. It is observed that C-MIMO performs more efficiently when the targeted pb is smaller. Also the lower encoding rate for LDPC code offers better error characteristics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s111009887","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,20]],"date-time":"2011-10-20T11:33:16Z","timestamp":1319110396000},"page":"9887-9903","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Cooperative MIMO Communication at Wireless Sensor Network: An Error Correcting Code Approach"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Mohammad Rakibul","family":"Islam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department, Islamic University of Technology, Boardbazar, Gazipur 1704, Dhaka, Bangladesh"}]},{"given":"Young Shin","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Communication Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon 440-774, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,10,20]]},"reference":[{"unstructured":"Anna, H (2003).
