Efficient Relay Selection Scheme based on Fuzzy Logic for Cooperative Communication

Abstract

The performance of cooperative network can be increased by using relay selection technique. Therefore, interest in relay selection is sloping upward. We proposed two new relay selection schemes based on fuzzy logic for dual hop cooperative communication. These relay selection schemes require SNR (signal to noise ratio), cooperative gain and channel gain as input fuzzy parameters for selection of best relay. The performance of first proposed relay selection scheme is evaluated in term of BER (bit error rate) in Nakagami, Rician and Rayleigh fading channels. In second proposed relay selection scheme, threshold is used with the objective to minimize the power consumption and channel estimation load. Its performance is analyzed in term of BER, number of active relays and load of number of channel estimations.
