Outage probability of cooperative relay networks in Nakagami-m fading channels

摘要

It is well known that the cooperation among nodescan improve the performance of a wireless network. In this letterwe analyze the outage probability behaviour of a relay networkin Nakagami-m fading channels. A closed-form solution for theoutage probability is derived. When m = 1, the results are applicable for Rayleigh fading. Computer simulations confirm the presented mathematical analysis.
