In this paper, we consider an amplifying-and-forward(AF) dual-hop relaying system where the source node transmits to a destination node with the help of R relay nodes. We assume that the source node equips M transmit antennas, but only one antenna is equipped at the each node of relay and destination. The outage probabilities are presented when the transmit maximum-ratio-combining(MRC) is used at the source-relay(S-R) links, and the best relay selection, which selects only one relay that contributes the most to the received signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) as active relay, is combined. Simulation results validate these analytical results.

For a more detailed understanding of the mechanism of an L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier, we investigated 980 nm absorption, signal amplification and forward and backward amplified spontaneous emission along the erbium-doped fiber. In addition, we compared performances of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier with and without a fiber Bragg grating.

In this paper, when concurrent transmission and diversity reception at each relay are assumed to increase bandwidth efficiency in linear multihop system, we analyze interference due to concurrent transmission and verify it. In the interference-free environment, more diversity sources at each relay result in better performance [1][2]. However, interference degrades BER performance because accumulated and propagated interference power surpasses original data power. Therefore, if we use the result of this paper, we can make bandwidth efficiency increase as well as BER performance good in linear multihop system by considering concurrent transmission with reuse factor and developing the algorithm which determines the number of diversity source.
