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.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCooperative communication systemVirtual noise techniqueCo-channel interferenceDecode and forwardConference Object557560WOS:000391250900117N/A
