Outage regions of cooperative networks for different coding schemes
Tobias Renk, Holger Jaekel, Friedrich K. Jondral · 2010
In this paper we present outage regions for two cooperation strategies, namely multi-routing and adaptive multi-routing, if two different coding schemes are used. The first coding scheme is repetition coding and the second one is parallel channel coding. We show that for one cooperation strategy, the outage region for parallel channel coding is a strict subset of the outage probability of repetition coding, thus, leading to a smaller outage probability. We demonstrate that adaptive multi-routing in conjunction with parallel channel coding achieves by far the best performance.
