Abstract
A distributed version of switch and stay combining is proposed for relaying systems that utilize a single decode and forward relay. The performance analysis of such system is presented, along with that of a simplified version of the so-called incremental relaying protocol. Numerical results show that these systems achieve the beneficial effects of diversity, although they do not employ any diversity combiner at the destination terminal
