In this paper, we present a block transmission for an amplify-and-forward two-path relaying in frequency-selective block fading channel. In particular, this paper focuses on an efficient and yet robust iterative successive interference cancellation (SIC) incorporating various diversity detections, after performing a complete interrelay interference (IRI) cancellation at destination. The performance results are provided to verify the superiority of the proposed iterative SIC and detections compared to a conventional SIC and detection.
