Abstract :
The outage probability of a multiuser amplify-and-forward relaying protocol is investigated. The practical case where there are co-channel interference signals present at the network is considered for the analysis. Exact expressions and closed-form lower bounds are derived for the outage probability. Three network configurations are analyzed based on the presence of co-channel interference in the system.
