Cooperative communications can be extremely proficient in combating fading multipath channels and enhance scope with complexity and cost.
Furthermore, there is also a possibility of improving the performance of cooperative communication by optimal relay selection strategies. In the basic cooperative communication network, there is three type of devices, a source, a destination and a set of relay devices. These relay devices are responsible for forwarding the overheard information from the source node to the destination node, thereby providing diversity gain at the destination node. But practically not all available relays are efficient. Application of relay selection scheme with cooperative communication techniques not only removes communication overhead from destination node but also will enhance system performance.
In this regard, this paper is focused towards a hybrid relay selection scheme of the cooperative network with cooperative non-regenerative (AF) and regenerative (DF) relaying technique. Bit Error Rate (BER) performance is compared using Rayleigh, Rician and Nakagami fading environment.
