Single-Relay Cooperative Diversity with Scaled Selection Combining
Mandha Damodaran Selvaraj, Ranjan K. Mallik · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 2011
For a single-relay cooperative diversity system employing the decode-and-forward protocol in Rayleigh fading, a scaled signal-to-noise ratio-based selection combining scheme, which uses a deterministic scale factor for link selection to incorporate the effect of the source-to-relay link, is presented. Its error probability for binary phase-shift keying is derived in closed-form.
