On Performance of Combining Methods for Three-Node Relay Network

Abstract:

We study the performance of the three-node relay network. Three combining methods for the Amplify-and-Forward (AF) protocol and the Decode-and-Forward (DF) protocol are compared. Simulations indicate that the AF protocol is better than DF under all these three combining methods. To combine the incoming signals the channel quality should be estimated as accuracy as possible, more estimation accuracy requires more resource. A very simple combining method can obtain the performance comparative with optimal combining methods approximately. At the same time, all three combining methods for both diversity protocols can achieve the maximum diversity order.
