Abstract
We compare the signal-to-noise ratio performances of an amplify-forward relay link and a direct link in a wireless sensor network. For a slow Rayleigh fading channel, an exact expression for the probability that the SNR of an amplify-forward relay link exceeds the SNR of a direct link is obtained. For a Rician fading channel, an upper bound for the corresponding probability is obtained. Numerical results indicate that, among the two fading channels considered, Rayleigh fading is more detrimental to the SNR performance of the amplify-forward relaying scheme.
