SummaryIn this work, we investigate the performance of a dual‐hop cooperative network over α−μ fading channels with the presence of co‐channel interference (CCI) at both the relay and destination nodes. Amplify‐and‐forward (AF) relaying is considered in the relay node. The upper bound of the signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio (SINR) of the dual‐hop relay link is used to determine the system performance. The probability density function (PDF) and the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the upper bound of the SINR are analyzed. The system performance is determined in terms of the outage and error probabilities. Numerical results are used to present the performance analysis of the system.
This paper investigates the impact of the co-channel interference on the performance of cooperative diversity networks. Selection combination technique is applied to the paths from multiple relay branches with no link directly connects the source and destination nodes. In addition, we derive the statistical characteristics of the upper bound of the SINR under the α–μ fading channel model, which then were used to derived the outage ($$P_{out}$$
