We study power dissipation in relay assisted wireless
transmissions. Two types of assistance are considered: simple relaying and regenerative repeater. We find minimum transmit power levels to provision the same bit error rate (BER) in both cases. The simple-relay case considers power adjustment for error propagation at the intermediate relay node. Power
consumption comparisons are made and results are discussed.
