Abstract :
In this letter, an accurate analytical model is proposed to study the performance of threshold digital relaying schemes in cooperative systems over log-normal fading channels. The analytical expression for the average end-to-end bit error rate has been derived. Simulation results verify the accuracy of the proposed analytical model.
