In this paper, the end-to-end performance of a single-branch two-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying network in a mixed Rayleigh-Nakagami-m fading environment, is investigated. Four different fading scenarios and three standard relay configurations for each scenario are considered. Exact analytical expressions for the outage probability and tight upper bounds for the ergodic capacity are derived. Results of Monte Carlo simulations are provided to verify the accuracy of the analytical results. Keywords— amplify-and-forward (AF), decode-and-forward (DF), two/dual-hop relaying, outage probability, ergodic capacity, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
