Abstract :
The Chernoff upper bound of the pairwise error probability (PEP) and a closed-form approximation for distributed space-time coding (DSTC) relay systems in Nakagami-m fading channels are derived in this paper, numerical results show that the upper bound approximation is quite near to the real value of the Chernoff upper bound of the PEP.
