In this paper, for an L-relays dual-hop plus a direct link wireless network, in which the decode-and-forward relaying protocol is employed, closed-form expressions for the end-end outage probability are presented. Our analysis considers a Nakagami-m fading environment with either equal or distinct second hops fading parameter to average power ratios. Various numerical examples illustrate the proposed analysis.
