Abstract :
In this paper we analyze the error performance of a cooperative multihop parallel relay network over Nakagami-m fading channels using M-ary Phase-shift keying (MPSK) modulation. We derive the general closed form expression of the symbol error probability (SEP) and present numerical results on the performance of the network.
