Abstract :
Formation of virtual antenna arrays among neighbouring nodes and their co-operative transmission have attracted increasing interest. The exact outage probability of co-operative communication with multiple amplify-and-forward relays is given. The analysis covers general relay topologies and is verified by Monte-Carlo simulations
