Abstract: In this paper, closed form solution of outage and bit error rate (BER) is evaluated for the purpose of performance analysis of the amplify and forward relaying scheme under the asymmetric fading environment. In this dual hop system, we have used Rayleigh fading along source S to relay R and Mixture
Gamma fading along relay R to destination D. First, we have derived closed form solution of outage and then we have used this derived expression for getting closed form solution of bit error rate (BER) for different kinds of modulation. Since Mixture Gamma fading channel represents many fading channels as its special case, so proposed closed form solution of outage and bit error rate may be used for analysis of outage and bit error rate under various fading scenarios. Specifically, in this paper, for analysis of outage and bit error rate (BER), we have taken Nakagami-m fading as a particular case of Mixture Gamma fading and analyzed the performance of proposed system after observing effect of fading severity factor and signal to noise ratio (SNR) on outage probability and bit error rate (BER).
