Abstract

Wireless communication system is crucial to telecommunications infrastructure and has played an essential role in national growth. However, the system's performance is hindered by multipath propagation, which has negatively impact in its performance. Amplify Quantized and Forward (AQF) cooperative relaying technique is ineffective because signal quality is degraded by amplification and blockages during transmission from the relay to the destination. Hence, an EMD-based AQF cooperative relaying for wireless communication system is proposed to enhance the existing AQF. The relays responsible for sending data to the second hub were determined by the multiple relay selection process. The selected relays processed the signal by passing it through EMD and amplifying it with the relay gain. Subsequently, the boosted signal was uniformly quantized at the relay nodes before its final send-off to the destination in the second transmission phase. The results showed that the proposed EMD-AQF technique outperformed the existing AQF, achieving a 74.5% reduction in bit error rate and a 65.8% increase in throughput.
