“…In DF, the received noisy message at the relay is decoded first, and then the relay re-encodes the decoded message, and forwards it to the destination node. In the case of accurate symbol estimation, DF outperforms AF relaying, where the relay can reliably decode the source node message as the noise will not be amplified [5][6][7][8]. Diversity order two is achieved at high signal to noise ratio (SNR) using one relay for AF and adaptive DF schemes, using maximum ratio combining (MRC) technique to demodulate the received signals.…”
