The investigation utilizes Rician and Rayleigh fading environments for the performance analysis. The investigation also considers two different types of information exchange processes, which are direct and relay assisted cases. In the relay assisted case, the relay terminal operates in amplify-and-forward and decode-and-forward modes. Monte-Carlo based computer simulations reveal that 10-5 bit error rate value is reached at 16.50 dB for low density parity check coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing over Rician fading environment in decode-and-forward relay protocol. Similarly, 10-5 bit error rate value is reached at 0.36 dB for the low density parity check coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing over Rician fading environment in amplify-and-forward relay protocol and finally 10-5 bit error rate value is reached at -5.30 dB for low density parity check coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing over Rician fading environment without relay protocols.</p></abstract>
