We determine the exact symbol error probability of M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) for multihop communication systems with regenerative relays, where the source terminal transmits data to the destination terminal via a set of intermediate relay stations, which perform hard decisions on the received symbols before forwarding them to their respective successor node. Both, time-invariant additive white Gaussian noise channels as well as frequency-flat fading channels are considered and we derive generic expressions, which might be easily evaluated numerically or even be given in closed-form for various cases.
