Abstract :
The error performance of two-hop cooperative communication (CC) systems with transmit antenna selection (TAS) at the source and relay over η-μ fading channels is analysed. The probability density function of the received signal-to-noise ratio and the average bit error rate of two-hop CC systems with a source-destination direct link and TAS at both the source and the relay is derived. The exactness of the analytical expressions is validated by the close agreement of the Monte Carlo simulation results and the analytical results.
