Outage rates and outage durations of opportunistic relaying systems
Opportunistic relaying is a simple yet efficient cooperation scheme that
achieves full diversity and preserves the spectral efficiency among the
spatially distributed stations. However, the stations' mobility causes temporal
correlation of the system's capacity outage events, which gives rise to its
important second-order outage statistical parameters, such as the average
outage rate (AOR) and the average outage duration (AOD). This letter presents
exact analytical expressions for the AOR and the AOD of an opportunistic
relaying system, which employs a mobile source and a mobile destination
(without a direct path), and an arbitrary number of (fixed-gain
amplify-and-forward or decode-and-forward) mobile relays in Rayleigh fading
environment
Performance Analysis of Two-Hop Cooperative MIMO transmission with Relay Selection in Rayleigh Fading Channel
Wireless relaying is one of the promising solutions to overcome the channel
impairments and provide high data rate coverage that appears for beyond 3G
mobile communications. In this paper we present an end to end BER performance
analysis of dual hop wireless communication systems equipped with multiple
decode and forward relays over the Rayleigh fading channel with relay
selection. We select the best relay based on end to end channel conditions. We
apply orthogonal space time block coding (OSTBC) at source, and also present
how the multiple antennas at the source terminal affects the end to end BER
performance. This intermediate relay technique will cover long distance where
destination is out of reach from source.Comment: 5 figures, 4th International Conference on Wireless Communications,
