It is assumed that the channel between source and relay is Rayleigh fading, whereas the relay-destination link is subject to Weibull fading. First, a closed-form expression is formulated for and then it is used to obtain ABEP for the considered system model. The ABEP performance of two-hop DF relaying is presented for M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) signaling with different constellation sizes. Moreover, the proposed analytical expressions are verified by simulations that present the correctness of the derived formulas.</p><p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.eee.21.1.9806">http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.eee.21.1.9806</a></p>}, number={1}, journal={Elektronika ir Elektrotechnika}, author={Kapucu, Nuri and Bilim, Mehmet and Develi, Ibrahim and Kabalci, Yasin}, year={2015}, month={Feb.}, pages={60-63} }
