Abstract
In this paper, the performance of single relay cooperative
communication applying orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (OFDM) signals has been investigated in
Nakagami fading channel. The signal to interference noise
ratio and average bit error rate both without and with
diversity has been developed in the impact of frequency
offset and phase noise. Numerical results showed a better
system performance when higher order Nakagami fading
parameter m was used with lower frequency offset.

Introduction
Cooperative communication, one of the fastest
growing research areas at this time, is a suitable
technology for efficient spectrum use in fourth
generation. There are three major objectives of the 4G
technologies to fulfill the requirements-continuous
connectivity, data rate of 100 Mbps at user terminal
and other services like intelligent transportation
systems (ITS) deployment [Sinha et al., 2010].
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)
based cooperative wireless communications is a novel
technique that allows users to intertransmit messages
to the intended destination. The proposed schemes can
increase the system reliability by achieving spatial
cooperative diversity and also increase their effective
quality of service via cooperation. Cooperation allows
single antenna nodes in a multiuser environment to
share their antennas with other nodes in a distributed
manner so that a node can realize a virtual
multiantenna [Sreedhar et al., 2008].
Cooperative diversity replicates the performance
benefits of MIMO systems that are achieved by the
transmission through additional relays [Sohaib et al.,
2012]. This cooperative diversity leads to increased

Conclusion
The performance of OFDM based AF relaying scheme
without diversity and ERC in Nakagami fading
channel has been analyzed. The derived average BER
expression is efficient and offers a convenient way to
evaluate the OFDM based AF relaying. Results
showed that the performance of system degrades for
large frequency offset and phase noise. The
performance of system improves when SNR is high.
The OFDM based AF relaying scheme with ERC
integrating the effect of frequency offset and phase
noise confirms the performance improvement.
