Performance analysis of decode-and-forward cooperative communication with the kth best partial relay selection
Tran Trung Duy, Hyung Yun Kong · 2010
In this paper, we analyze the performance of the decode-and-forward cooperative communication with the kthbest partial relay selection. In the proposed protocol, the kthbest relay is chosen to help the source to transmit a signal to the destination using the source-relay channel state information (CSI). We derive the closed-form expressions of outage probability and symbol error rate (SER) for the proposed protocol as well as the direct transmission protocol (DT). The simulation results are presented to verify the validation of the analyses.
