This paper is devoted to an investigation of an exact average symbol error probability (SEP) for amplify and forward (AF) relaying in independent Nakagami-m fading environments with a nonnegative integer plus one-half m, which coversmany actual scenarios, such as one-side Gaussian distribution (m = 0.5). Using moment generating function approach, the closed-form SEP is expressed in the form of Lauricella multivariate hypergeometric function. Four modulation modes are considered: rectangular quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK), M-ary differential phase shift keying (MDPSK), and pi/4 differential quaternary phase shift keying (DQPSK). The result is very simple and general for a nonnegative integer plus one-half m, which covers the same range as integer m. The tightness of theoretical analysis is confirmed by computer simulation results.
