Abstract
In this paper, we consider the performance analysis of a decode-and-forward (DF) cooperative relaying (CR) scheme over bursty impulsive noise channel. As compared to existing literature, here, we generalize the performance analysis to the multi-relay scenario with and without considering error propagation from the relays. For this scheme, we evaluate the bit error rate (BER) performance in the presence of Rayleigh fading with a maximum a posteriori (MAP) receiver. From the obtained results it is seen that, similar to single relay scheme, the proposed MAP receiver attains the lower bound derived for multi-relay DF CR scheme also, and performs significantly better than the conventional schemes developed for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and memoryless impulsive noise channel. Moreover, the performance improvement of optimal MAP receiver over the memoryless receivers is substantial with increasing the number of relays.
