Abstract

In this paper, the outage performance of dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative systems subject to α-μ fading is investigated. More specifically, the effects of the fading parameters on the end-to-end outage probability are examined. To this end, simulation results are run and reveal that when the fading parameters increase, the performance also increases.
