Fig. 6From: Performance analysis of ultra-reliable short message decode and forward relaying protocolsPerformance analysis of cooperative protocols under EPA. This figure compares the power consumption of studied cooperative schemes to direct transmission under the equal power allocation strategy. We show that under EPA, MRC requires less transmit power to work under ultra-reliable region compared to the other studied cooperative relaying protocols. Monte-Carlo simulations confirm the accuracy and appropriateness of our analytical model. In addition, asymptotic expressions approach the analytical results as the SNR increasesBack to article page
