Abstract

In this paper, a two-hop cooperative multi-relay communication network is considered. Selection relaying schemes are attracting considerable attention due to their prudent bandwidth utilization and ability to provide full diversity. The recent developments in selection relaying (SR) have largely focused on information theoretic analyses such as outage performance. Some of these analyses are accurate only in high SNR regimes. This paper provides exact outage and capacity performance expressions for selection relaying and tight approximation over a sufficiently wide range of SNR regimes for selection cooperative relaying. The ε-outage capacity for SR is also provided. The motivation for this work is that practical systems operate at far lower SNR values than those supported by the high SNR analysis. Therefore, designers should be able to evaluate system performance to a reasonable degree of accuracy over practical SNR values. Simulations are used to corroborate the analytical results and close agreement is observed.
