Virtual noise technique is used with co-channel interference at relay and destination terminals. It can be clearly observed that virtual noise techniques provides full diversity gain for proposed system. The accuracy of the analytical results shown by computer simulations. © 2016 IEEE.tr10.1109/SIU.2016.7495801info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCo-channel interferenceCooperative communication systemDecode and forwardVirtual noise techniqueConference Object557560N/A
