Distortion limited amplify-and-forward relat networks and the epsilon-critical phase transition

We study amplify-and-forward (AF) relay networks operating with source and relay amplifier distortion, where the distortion dominates the noise power. The diversity order is shown to be 0 for fixed-gain (FG) and 1 for variable-gain (VG) if distortion occurs at the relay; if distortion occurs only at...
