Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputing Amplify-and-Forward Relay Amplification Factor to Improve Total Capacity at DestinationOlalekan Bello, Hushairi Zen, Al-Khalid Othman, Khairuddin Abdul HamidIn this study, we propose a new Amplify-and-Forward (AF) amplification factor to improve the error performances of the current AF schemes and thus enhance the total capacity at the destination terminal. The proposed scheme has two degrees of freedom, meaning that it contains two variable parameters that can simultaneously vary the amplification factor instead of one as in traditional variable-gain … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 8 · 12 Sep 2015 · 7,095 accessesView PDFCite
