Performance of dual-hop multi-relay cooperative communication system in Rician fading
Yue Wang, Xuqi Zhang, Dan Liu · 2015
Average symbol error rate performance of a dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) multi-relay cooperative communication system in Rician fading environment is investigated in the paper. We also derive the closed-form expressions for the probability density function (pdf) and the moment generating function (MGF) of bounded SNR with a maximal-ratio combing receiver at the destination terminal. The correctness of the average symbol error rate is verified through numerical simulations.
