Abstract

Link adaptive relaying (LAR) is one of the most popular techniques developed for mitigating error propagation in decode and forward (DF) based cooperative wireless networks which employs soft power scaling approaches at the relay nodes. On the other side, frequency shift keying (FSK) is a prominent technique for eliminating the need for channel estimation by training sequences which increases complexity of the system and causes reduction in the transmission rate in proportional to the number of users involved in the network. In this paper, performance of an LAR scheme with noncoherent binary FSK (BFSK) signaling is investigated by deriving exact closed form bit error rate expressions in Rayleigh fading channels.
