- Incremental relaying (IR) was developed to overcome the problems facing regular cooperative relaying methods. Out of the regular methods there is fixed relaying, in which, the relay transmits the source’s signal to the destination without considering the state of the channel. On the contrary, adaptive relaying techniques, including IR, are becoming popular among researchers nowadays; since they efficiently utilize the channel. In this paper, we studied the performance of a two-hop IR system that has decode and forward (DF) relays. Moreover, this system was analyzed over Nakagami-m fading channels, with the presence of various interferers positioned near the destination. As a result, the system suffered from co-channel interference. Remarkably, in this work, formulas were driven for the outage probability (OP) and the bit error rate (BER), and the assumptions were checked numerically
