Abstract

In this paper, we derive exact form expressions for the Bit Error Probability (BEP) and throughput of cooperative Direct Sequence-Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) systems using incremental selective relaying which combines selective relaying with incremental relaying protocols in the presence of multipath propagation. The derived results are valid for any multipath intensity profile of the channel and any path delays. They also consider the correlation of the multipath gains. Simulation results along with analytical studies of BEP and throughput prove that the combination of incremental relaying with selective relaying in cooperative DS-CDMA systems improve significantly the throughput performance and can achieve the maximum possible spatial diversity when it is required by destination.
