In this paper, we investigate a wireless mobile communication system with a cooperative network operating over a mobile-to-mobile (M2M) fading channel in the presence of co-channel interference. Since there is no direct line of sight between the source (S) and the destination (D) due to various obstacles, the signal transmission takes place by using a relay (R). We modeled and represented the desired signal and co-channel interference by using the Nakagami-m fading distribution from the source (S) to the relay (R), as well as from the relay (R) to the destination (D). As the popularity of M2M communication has increased in 5G cellular networks, the performance analysis of the proposed system is of great importance. We derived closed-form expressions for the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) at the input of the destination station. Based on the cumulative distribution function (CDF), we also evaluated the outage probability (Pout) of the proposed communication system. In addition, we derived a closed-form approximate expression for the level crossing rate (LCR) by using the Laplace approximation formula for the three-fold integral. Validity of the derived theoretical results we approved by Monte Carlo simulations.
