Outage Analysis of Distributed Scheme on Opportunistic Relaying with Limited CSI
Haifang Jiang, Sihai Zhang, Wuyang Zhou · IEEE Communications Letters · 2011
In this letter, we propose a distributed scheme on opportunistic amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying to minimize the system outage probability with low feedback overhead. Only the subset of relays report the calculated outage probability information to the source based on the outage probability threshold with the limited channel state information (CSI). We present the approximate expressions for the system outage probability under two scenarios, the statistical CSI and the statistical quantized CSI of the relay-destination links, respectively. Numerical results indicate that the derived analytic results are reasonable and the outage performance is better for the statistical quantized CSI case with acceptable feedback cost.
