Amplify-and-forward, channel capacity, decode-and-forward, symbol error rate, and outage probability

In this paper, a technique deployed to achieve reliability ii the power line communication (PLC) system is presented. The technique is a, modem (relay) cooperating with the source modem for signal transmission to the destination. The key contribution is in the system reliability achieved, for which system’s channel capacity, outage probability and symbol error rate were parameters investigated. Two cooperative channels, amplify-and-forward and the decode-and-forward, along with the direct channel (without cooperation), were examined for those parameters mentioned. The cooperative links were seen to attain outstanding reliability over the direct link. The noise mitigation system incorporated contributed enormously to the drastic reduction in the systems symbol error rate and outage probabilities of both cooperative links, achieving performances that are close. Deployment of further cooperative activities for improvement of the systems reliability can be investigated. The effects of these activities on the channel capacity and other performance metrics will be studied.
