Abstract
This paper studies a multi-relay adaptive turbo-coded cooperative diversity scheme over Nakagami- m fading channels. In the underlying scheme, after receiving a fraction of the codeword determined by a tradeoff parameter denoted by f, all the relays decode, and only the reliable relays forward the rest of the codeword to the destination. We assume binary phase-shift keying modulation and analyze the scheme under study in terms of bit error rate (BER) and outage probability. Union bounds on the BER are derived using the transfer function bounding and the limit-before-average techniques. Furthermore, we examine the asymptotic behavior of the system in the high-signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) regime using the derived pairwise error probability (PEP). We also derive a closed-form expression for the outage probability of the system and its high-SNR approximation to evaluate the achievable diversity order. Simulations are provided to assess the accuracy of our analytical work.
