Abstract

In this paper, We derived an expression of the average bit error rate (ABER) of the relay assisted two-hop ultra-wideband (UWB) communication system over IEEE 802.15.3a channel model incorporated with the transmit antenna selection at the source and relay nodes. In this two-hop system, each node equipped with the multiple antennas and relay is configured to perform decode and forward protocol. The analysis considers the numerically evaluated characteristic function of the sum of the path gains, which are specified in the IEEE 802.15.3a channel model. During the analysis, we assumed that all the channel links and channel paths are independent and identically distributed. Our result shows the derived ABER is well matched to the simulation. It also presents the comparison of the ABER between the investigated and the conventional UWB systems. This paper also presents the flowchart of the Monte-Carlo simulation of the investigated UWB system.
