Abstract

In this paper, the outage performance for decode-and-forward cooperative networks is investigated. The analytical results for outage probability are derived in the case when network nodes communicate with each other over Rayleigh fading channel using a threshold based protocol, while Rayleigh propagation also is experienced over a channel between a node and the destination. Impact of signal-to-noise ratio values and number of nodes when maximum ratio combining is applied at the destination are analysed.
