ABSTRACT


The average symbol error probability (ASEP) of multiple-mobile-relay-based mobile-tomobile (M2M) system with decode-and-forward (DF) relaying over N-Nakagami fading channels is investigated in this paper. The moment generating function (MGF) method is used to obtain the ASEP of various modulation techniques. Then the ASEP performance under different conditions is evaluated through numerical simulations to verify the analysis. The simulation results showed that the fading coefficient, number of cascaded components, relative geometrical gain, power-allocation parameter, and number of mobile relays have an important influence on the ASEP performance.


Keywords: M2M Communication, N-Nakagami Fading Channels, Decode-and-forward, Average Symbol Error Probability
