Abstract

Performance of cooperative relay schemes employing infrastructure based fixed relays having multiple antennas, has been investigated. Closed form expressions of outage probability, bit error rate and throughput for such system have been derived for Nakagami-m fading channels, with integer values of m. Here, relay and destination may perform either maximum ratio combining or selection combining of the signals. Comparative performance analysis of all four possible combinations has been analyzed for various relay locations, different number of antennas on the relay, various transmission rate and different fading conditions.
