Abstract

In this paper, an exact closed-form bit error rate expression for M-PSK is presented for multi-hop Decode-and-Forward Relaying (MDFR) scheme, in which selection combining technique is employed at each node. We have shown that the proposed protocol offers remarkable diversity advantage over direct transmission as well as the conventional decode-and-forward relaying (CDFR) scheme. Simulations are performed to confirm our theoretical analysis.
