This paper analyzes the cascade channel estimation of Amplify-and-Forward (AF) multi-relaying systems. To improve the accuracy, a maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator is obtained with the prior probability distribution function (PDF) of the cascade channel. For lessening the computational amount of the MAP method, the complicated generalized-K distribution is approximated with a Gamma PDF based on the moment-matching method. Moreover, a closed-form and simplified MAP (sMAP) estimator is derived. Numerical simulation shows that the proposed sMAP estimator decreases the computational duration sharply than the MAP method with marginal performance loss, and outperforms its least square (LS) counterpart in the low SNR region
