Performance Analysis of Bidirectional Relay Selection with Imperfect Channel State Information (1112.2374v1)
Published 11 Dec 2011 in cs.NI
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the performance of bidirectional relay selection using amplify-and-forward protocol with imperfect channel state information, i.e., delay effect and channel estimation error. The asymptotic expression of end-to-end SER in high SNR regime is derived in a closed form, which indicates that the delay effect causes the loss of both coding gain and diversity order, while the channel estimation error merely affects the coding gain. Finally, analytical results are verified by Monte-Carlo simulations.
