Channel Modeling with Gaussian Noise and Rayleigh Fading: Performance Analysis of Combining Methods and Relaying Protocols

This project implements channel modeling through Gaussian noise and Rayleigh fading components. We compare various signal combining techniques and relaying protocols, with performance evaluation based on Bit Error Rate (BER) and Throughput metrics. The study includes implementation of Amplify & Forward and Detect & Forward protocols, along with combining schemes like Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC), extended to a four-node system with distributed antenna functionality.
