Performance Comparison of Decode-and-Forward, Detect-and-Forward, and Amplify-and-Forward BPSK in Flat Fading with AWGN
This document presents a comparative analysis of three cooperative relaying schemes – Decode-and-Forward (DF), Detect-and-Forward (DetF), and Amplify-and-Forward (AF) – using BPSK modulation in flat fading channels with Additive White Gaussian Noise. The analysis includes error rate performance, implementation complexity, power requirements, and practical simulation considerations using MATLAB/Simulink approaches.
