Performance Analysis of Cooperative Communication in the Presence of Co-channel Interference

Abstract

Performance analysis without interference hypothesis can not be directly applied to the actual cooperative communication system. This paper focuses on interference model and performance analysis, and we investigate performance of amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative communication system in the presence of co-channel interference. Simulation results show that: channel capacity and BER of AF collaboration systems are subject to a certain degree of loss because of co-channel interference. And with the increasing signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the loss of properties is greater.
