Abstract This paper considers communication over a multi-hop Rayleigh block-fading channel, where there is no direct link between the transmission ends, and communication is carried out through the use of multiple cascaded relays, employing the Decode and Forward (DF) strategy. It is assumed that the relays cannot do buffering or apply coding over consecutive transmission blocks, and they can merely re-encode the retried information and forward an encoded version of information to the next hop.» Read the summary
