In order to decrease performance degradation due to error propagations in DF based wireless cooperative networks and increase the error performance of the system, selection combining (SC), classical maximal ratio combining (MRC), cooperative-maximal ratio combining (C-MRC) and link adaptive regeneration (LAR) techniques have been utilized at destination. Error performance analyses of the considered structures are investigated using optimal decision rules determined theoretically for the corresponding relaying strategy. © 2014 IEEE.tr10.1109/SIU.2014.6830258info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCooperative diversitycooperative maximal ratio combiningerror propagationlink adaptive relayingmaximal ratio combiningselection combiningSNR based selection relayingConference Object433436N/A
