Abstract

In this letter, we investigate the performance of cooperative decode-and-forward multiple-input multiple-output relaying system using orthogonal space-time block codes with piecewise-linear (PL) receiver over correlated Nakagami-m fading channels for integer values of m. We derive the closed-form expression for the exact bit error rates of binary phase shift keying signals. The analytical expression is validated through numerical results. It is shown that the performance of PL receiver outperforms that of conventional maximal ratio combining receiver.
