Abstract

In this paper, we present the performance of multi-antenna harmonic mean amplify-and-forward (HM-AF) relay system over independent and non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d) Rayleigh fading channels. The outage probability, moment generation function and symbol error probability are derived in closed-form using the SNR statistical characteristics. Finally, for comparison with analytical results, we perform some Monte-Carlo simulations.
