Title
Opportunistic Cooperative Communications Over Nakagami-M Fading Channels
Abstract
In this letter, a dual-hop wireless communication network with opportunistic amplify and forward (O-AF) relay is investigated over independent and non-identically distributed Nakagami-m fading channels. Employing Maclaurin series expansion around zero to derive the approximate probability density function of the normalized instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the asymptotic symbol error rate (SER) and outage probability expressions are presented. Simulation results indicate that the derived expressions well match the results of Monte-Carlo simulations at medium and high SNR regions. By comparing the O-AF with all AF relaying analyzed previously, it can be concluded that the former has significantly better performance than the latter in many cases.
