Performance Analysis of Multi-Antenna Relay Networks over Nakagami-m Fading Channel

摘要

In this chapter, the authors present the performance of multi-antennaselective combining decode-and-forward (SC-DF) relay networks over independentand identically distributed (i.i.d) Nakagami-m fading channels. The outageprobability, moment generation function, symbol error probability and averagechannel capacity are derived in closed-form using the Signal-to-Noise-Ratio(SNR) statistical characteristics. After that, the authors formulate the outageprobability problem, optimize it with an approximated problem, and then solveit analytically. Finally, for comparison with analytical formulas, the authorsperform some Monte-Carlo simulations.
