Abstract

This article discusses the performance analysis of a network coded relay network. The relay nodes operate in decode-and-forward (DF) mode. The channels are modeled as Rayleigh, Nakagami-m and Rician fading. The overall system performance is improved by using the Alamouti coding scheme. The closed-form expressions of moment generating function (MGF) are obtained over various fading channels. The system performance is analyzed in terms of SER and outage probability. MGF based approach is followed to derive the closed-form expressions of SER for MPSK modulation schemes. The derived expressions also present the diversity order. The simulation and theoretical results are produced to authenticate accuracy of the system.
