Abstract

This letter investigates the error performance of dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying over α-μ fading channels. Specifically, making use of the Fox's H-function, closed-form exact expressions for the n-th moment of the received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and average bit error probability (ABEP) are derived for arbitrary parameter values of the α-μ distribution. To gain insights into the error performance, a closed-form ABEP expression for the case of asymptotically high SNR at the second hop is also derived. The analytical expressions are validated through simulations.
