In this paper, we present accurate performance analysis of amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying systems by introducing the effect of multipath flat Rayleigh fading channels on the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The second hop channel is seen by the transmitted signal as flat fading when the signal bandwidth is less than the coherence bandwidth....

In Figs. 1-2, Monte Carlo simulation (10 6 realizations) is used to validate the new analytical expressions. It is seen that the simulation and proposed analytical expressions provide a perfect match which corroborate the exactness of the pro- posed analytical expressions.

... that, previously reported performance analysis of AF relaying systems over flat fading channels is questionable since they underestimated the AWGN noise effect on the performance analysis 2 . The performance degradation is more apparent on the average BER analysis than the ergodic capacity analysis, and at higher SNR values. For instance, in Fig. 1, for a target of 10 −3 average BER, we need SNR = 30 dBs in the case of one path channel of L = 1 (as previously approximated). However, when the noise selectivity is taken into account, for a multipath flat fading channel with a uniform PDP of L = 10, we need SNR = 36 dBs instead of 30 dBs when L = 1 (the second hop channel is ...

In cooperative relaying, the selection of relays could be based on different parameters. The most well-known and frequently used metric is the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this method of relay selection, the rapid fluctuation of the signal (i.e., fading) is not taken into account in the selection criteria. Such rapid signal change may cause sign...

In this paper, a performance analysis of amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying cooperative diversity system with relay selection is given when all terminals are moving. We have derived analytical expressions for probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF) and moment generating function (MGF) of end-to-end signal-to-noise...

This paper analyzes the performance of opportunistic relay under aggregate power constraint in Decode-and-Forward (DF) relay networks over independent, non-identical, Nakagami-m fading channels, assuming multiple antennas are available at the relay node. According to whether instantaneous Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) or average SNR can be exploited...

We analyze the ergodic capacity of a dual-hop full duplex amplify-and-forward (AF) vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) cooperative relaying system over Nakagami-m fading channels. In this context, the impacts of self-interference (SI) at the relay and co-channel interference (CCI) at the destination are taken into account in this analysis. Precisely, based on...
