On the Performance of Multi-Relay Cooperation over Correlated Nakagami-m Fading

Abstract:

The analytical expression in terms of symbol error rate (SER) for distributed multi-relay cooperative networks is derived over correlated Nakagami-m fading environments. Specifically, the proposed expression can be used to evaluate the impact of channel correlation on spectral access schemes through the statistical characteristic of complex channels. Furthermore, the overall performance analyses are illustrated through representative numerical results.
