Abstract

In this paper, we examine a general time-division multiple-access (TDMA) cooperative protocol. The wireless network consists of a source terminal, a destination terminal and n - number of intermediate relay terminals that operate in amplify-and-forward (AF) mode with a fixed-gain. Starting with the moment generating function (MGF) of the end-to-end output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the symbol error rate (SER) performance of M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) modulation schemes is theoretically investigated over independent and identical (i.i.d) Nakagami-m fading environments with maximal ratio combining (MRC) scheme at the destination. Subsequently, numerical and simulation results are provided to verify the accuracy of the formulation.
