摘要

Some Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) wireless cooperative relay protocols and their Symbol Error Rate (SER) performance have recently been developed. These works, however, are limited to SER upper bounds or SER formulas with complex structures. For SER performance analysis of wireless cooperative communication system with multiple relays, the tightly approximated SER formula, which has a simple structure, is gotten by using the simplified calculation method of Moment Generating MGF). In high Signal-to-noise Ratio (SNR) conditions, this formula not only can describe the SER performance accurately, but also is convenient for the research of network topology and optimum power allocation.
