Complexity of the proposed ILAR scheme and the contrast schemes.
| Forwarding scheme | Pre-process at source node | Decoding/demodulation or transmission at Relay node | Combination at the destination |
| AF | No | N Multiplications | MRC detection | DF | 1 Channel encoding | N Channel decoding | MRC detection | SDF | 1 Channel encoding | N Channel decoding | MRC detection | Proposed ILAR | No | N ML-demodulation | MRC detection |
