Abstract In this paper, we propose a hybrid decode-and-forward and soft information relaying (HDFSIR) strategy to mitigate error propagation in coded cooperative communications. In the HDFSIR approach, the relay operates in decode-and-forward (DF) mode when it successfully decodes the received message; otherwise, it switches to soft information relaying (SIR) mode. The benefits of the DF and SIR forwarding strategies are combined to achieve better performance than deploying the DF or SIR strategy alone. Closed-form expressions for the outage probability and symbol error rate (SER) are derived for coded cooperative communication with HDFSIR and energy-harvesting relays. Additionally,… More >
