Abstract This paper investigates the impact of the co-channel interference on the performance of cooperative diversity networks. Selection combination technique is applied to the paths from multiple relay branches with no link directly connects the source and destination nodes. In addition, we derive the statistical characteristics of the upper bound of the SINR under the α–μ fading channel model, which then were used to derived the outage ( $$P_{out}$$ P out ) and error ( $$P_b(e)$$ P b ( e ) ) probabilities for the cooperative network.
