Outage Performance Analysis of Cooperative Diversity
Yuhui Han, Mingji Yang, Aili Wang · 2012
Cooperative diversity has attracted great attention in recent years. In such a system, even single-antenna terminals can achieve spatial diversity with the help of other terminals. In this paper, we focus on the outage performance of cooperative diversity. The outage probabilities of several mean cooperative protocols are analyzed and compared. Theory analysis and simulation results show that the outage performances of these protocols vary with the channel conditions, and we may choose the appropriate cooperative protocol according to the channel conditions.
