Performance Analysis of a Cooperative Diversity Scheme in Rician Fading Channel

Abstract

In this paper we consider performance of a cooperative diversity scheme in Rician fading channel. The analytical results obtained in this paper will be comapred to the simulation results published previously, and it will be shown that the results are in great accordance. Besides that, the influence of the number of relay nodes on the performance of the system will be analysed.
