Quantifying Performance Of Cooperative Diversity Using The Sampling Property Of A Delta Function, Won Mee Jang Jul 2011

Quantifying Performance Of Cooperative Diversity Using The Sampling Property Of A Delta Function, Won Mee Jang

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications (to 2015)

In this paper, we present a simple approach to evaluating the performance of amplify-and-forward cooperative diversity. The �-function can be asymptotically reduced to a delta (impulse) function. We extend the result to cooperative networks in fading channels. The proposed approach introduces a simple technique to evaluate the performance of complex networks by sampling.
