Abstract
Fourth generation (4G) of mobile communication systems are expected to significantly enhance the data rates and coverage as
compared to the existing third generation (3G) of mobile communication. In order to achieve that a recently proposed concept
for 4G standard i.e., LTE-Advanced is Cooperative Communication. Cooperative communication allows single antenna mobile
(i.e. Single User) to temporary (Logically) share the antenna of other users in a system and thus creates a virtual multiple
antenna Array that allows it to achieve diversity gain & other benefits of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems in a
cost effective manner. The scope of this research paper is to evaluate the Performance of Decode and Forward cooperative
communication Protocol in term of its Bit Error Rate (BER), throughput and outage probability.
