Outage probability of opportunistic decode-and-forward relaying over Nakagami-m fading channels

In this article, the outage probability behavior of a relay network over Nakagami-m fading channels is analyzed. Both reactive and proactive opportunistic decode-and-forward (DAF) strategies are considered. The closed-form solutions to the outage probabilities on both opportunistic DAF strategies are derived. Simulation results confirm the presented mathematical analysis.
