Focusing on the high computational complexity of partner selection methods in cooperative systems
two improved partner selection methods are proposed. These are the best channel matching strategy and the non-reciprocal best channel matching strategy. The user with the worst link is firstly taken into account in the best channel matching strategy. Then the user with the best inter-user channel quality is selected by the method as his partner. The two users cooperate to relay information for each other
and unnecessary cooperative process is avoided by setting up two special thresholds of signal-to-noise. The non-reciprocal best channel matching strategy starts from the user with the worst link and then selects the user with the best inter-user channel as a partner for each user. Simulation results show that both the partner selection strategies can reduce O(N
