The Moment

The exact performance of amplify-and-forward (AF) bidirectional relay systems is studied in generalized and versatile Nakagami-m fading channels, where the parameter m is an arbitrary positive number. We consider three relaying modes: two, three, and four time slot bidirectional relaying. Closed form expressions of the moment generating function (MGF), higher order moments of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), ergodic capacity, and average signal error probability (SEP) are derived, which are different from previous works. The obtained expressions are very concise, easy to calculate, and evaluated instantaneously without a complex summation operation, in contrast to the nested multifold numerical integrals and truncated infinite series expansions used in previous work, which lead to computational inefficiency, especially when the fading parameter m increases. Simulation results corroborate the correctness and tightness of the theoretical analysis.

A computationally efficient two-stage greedy capacity maximization (GCM) relay-and-antenna joint selection is proposed for a dual-hop nonregenerative amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiple-relay system with multiple antennas equipped at each node in correlated fading channels. This modified GCM (MGCM) antenna selection strategy selects a subset of antenna pairs from available relays based on the concept of channel capacity maximization subject to an optimal power allocation constraint across the activated antenna pairs. In order to reduce system hardware complexity, antenna selection schemes are performed at the destination node as well. Finally, simulations are conducted to compare the channel capacity of the proposed two-layered antenna selection technique with other existing antenna selection algorithms for half-duplex AF-MIMO multiple-relay systems.
