SER analysis of the single relay cooperative model over double α - µ fading channels
Lakshmi Shireesha G, Vishnu Vardhan D · 2023
In this paper, moment generating function (MGF) based average symbol error rate (SER) closed-form expressions are derived for the single relay cooperative system over generalized double α − µ fading channels. The performance of the system has been analyzed for selective decode and forward (SDF) relaying under M-QAM and BPSK modulations with coherent detection. Maximal ratio combining (MRC) is employed at the destination. For several values of the fading and shadowing parameters, Monte Carlo simulations are performed to evaluate the correctness of the analytical results. The obtained results provide the flexibility to adapt to different propagation environments.
