Recently, the relay communication is focused for the power saving and coverage extension of ad-hoc networks. For the high date rate transmission, it is proposed to adapt OFDMA relays. In this paper, we assume the 2 hop cooperative OFDMA relays between the source and the destination. The performance of 3 different relaying methods are derived and compared. We noticed that the selective OFDMA relaying method has the best performance followed by opportunistic OFDMA relaying and repetition-based OFDMA relaying method under the same threshold mutual information rate.
