In this letter, we address the performance analysis of underlay selective decode-and-forward (DF) relay networks in Rayleigh fading channels with non-necessarily identical fading parameters. In particular, a novel result on the outage probability of the considered system is presented. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to verify the correctness of our exact closed-form expression. Our propos...

In this paper, a dual-hop cooperative diversity land mobile satellite system (LMSS) respectively adopted amplify-and-forward (AF), decode-and-forward (DF), and coded cooperation (CC) relaying protocols is proposed, and the outage probability behaviors of the three protocols have been analyzed. We use the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of each path to derive the closed-form expressions of outage pr...

future generations of cellular communications require higher data rates and more reliable transmission link .Cooperative communications have a great significant in modern communications as they improve the information transmission between the source and the destination by using the relays. The relaying schemes are Amplify-and-Forward (AF) in which the relay sends an amplified copy of its receiv...

In this paper, we study the Diversity-Multiplexing Tradeoff (DMT) of the Decode or Quantize and Forward (DoQF) protocol recently proposed in [1] for the half duplex single relay channel. Our results show that this static relaying protocol achieves the 2 by 1 MISO bound for multiplexing gains r < 0.25. The DMT of the classical non orthogonal Decode and Forward (DF) protocol is also derived. We s...
