“…The end-to-end SNR of AF dual-hop relaying systems, denoted by γ c , has a well-known form [10], [9], which generally can be expressed as γ c = γ1γ2 γ1+γ2+b , where γ 1 and γ 2 are the combined SNRs on the first and second hops respectively, and b is a constant. The case when b = 0 represents the channel-assisted relay configuration, whereas b = 1 gives the channel noiseassisted relay configuration.…”
