In this paper, the average bit error probability (ABEP) performance of the incremental-selective decode-and-forward (ISDF) relaying mobile-to-mobile (M2M) cooperative networks over N-Nakagami fading channels is investigated. The exact ABEP expressions are derived, and the power allocation problem is formulated.The derived ABEP expressions are verified by Monte Carlo simulations. The simulation results showed that the propagation parameters, such as the fading coefficient, and the power-allocation parameter, have a significant influence on the ABEP performance.

The detrimental effect of short-term fading and shadowing can be mitigated using microdiversity and macrodiversity systems, respectively. In this paper, implementation of selection combining at both micro and macro levels to improve system performance is analyzed. An assessment of the performance of such a system is carried out by considering the desired signal as Rician fading with lognormal shadowing and cochannel interference signal as Rayleigh fading superimposed over lognormal shadowing. The proposed analysis is complemented by various performance evaluation results, including the effects on overall system performance of fading severity, shadowing spreads and branch correlation existing at the base station, and correlation between base stations.
