Abstract :
The outage performance of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay system over slow frequency-nonselective fading channels, where maximal ratio transmission is adopted at both the source and relay transmitters whereas maximal ratio combining is used at relay and destination receivers, is investigated. A closed-form expression for the outage probability is presented. Numerical results are presented to verify the analysis.
