Joint TAS and power allocation for DF relaying M2M cooperative system
Lingwei Xu, Hao Zhang, Thomas Aaron Gulliver · International Journal of Electronics · 2016
The outage probability (OP) performance of transmit antenna selection (TAS) in a decode-and-forward relaying mobile-to-mobile system with relay selection over N-Nakagami fading channels is investigated. Exact closed-form expressions for the OP of two TAS schemes are derived, and the optimal power allocation optimisation problem is formulated. The OP performance is evaluated via Monte Carlo simulation to verify the analysis. The results obtained show that the optimal TAS scheme has better performance than the suboptimal TAS scheme, but the performance gap between these techniques decreases as the number of source antennas increases.
