Abstract
Abstract:Relay based communication has gained considerable
importance in the recent years. In this paper we find out the endto-
end statistics of a two hop non-regenerative relay branch, with
each hop being Nakagami-m distributed. A closed form
expression for the statistics of the signal envelope at the output of
a selection combiner in the destination node is also derived and
compared with the simulation results. These statistics are useful
in understanding the system performance in terms of bit error
rate and outage probability.
