Description
Summary:The impact of channel estimation errors on the performance for two-hop multi-relays assisted am-plify-and-forward(AF) cooperative communication systems was investigated.Closed-form expressions of the average symbol error rate,as well as the diversity gain under different channel estimation quality orders for both opportunistic re-laying(OPR) and all-participate relaying(APR) schemes were derived.Average signal-to-noise-ratio(SNR) gap ratio is investigated for the two types of cooperative communication systems,which lead to a conclusion that the OPR scheme is more susceptible to channel estimation errors than the APR scheme.Numerical results verify the theoretical analysis.
