Power Allocation and Performance Analysis for Incremental-Selective Decode-and-Forward Cooperative Communications over Nakagami-m Fading Channels
Summary :
The focus of this study is the performance of the relaying network with incremental selective decode-and-forward (ISDF) protocol in non-selective slow Nakagami-m fading channels. To enhance bandwidth efficiency, when the direct transmission is not successful the relay is used to retransmit a clean copy of the source signal. The proposed protocol achieves a significant reduction in the power consumption and an improvement in performance compared to the fixed decode-and-forward (DF). The exact symbol error rate (SER) of M-PSK modulation for the ISDF protocol over general fading channels is derived. However, as the exact SER analysis is very complicated, we provide an approximated SER expression. Based on this approximation, we provide an optimum power allocation coefficient where the aggregate transmit power constraint is imposed on the source and the relay. Our results show that at least 50% of total power must be used by the direct link, and the remaining may be used by the relay. Furthermore, power allocation in this protocol is independent of the quality of the source-destination channel and modulation constellation size. Numerical results show that the ISDF protocol can reduce the average transmit power with respect to the fixed DF protocol.
