Exact and Asymptotic Outage Probability Analysis for Decode-and-Forward Networks
Ioannis Chatzigeorgiou, Weisi Guo, Ian James Wassell, Rolando Antonio Carrasco · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 2010
We consider decode-and-forward cooperative networks and we derive analytical expressions as well as tractable asymptotic approximations for the outage probability of a network node. Our analysis sheds more light on the interplay between the channel conditions, the network size and the adopted transmission scheme, and provides a useful tool for the design of cooperative networks.
