Abstract

It is well known that the cooperation among nodes \ncan improve the performance of a wireless network. In this letter \nwe analyze the outage probability behaviour of a relay network \nin Nakagami-m fading channels. A closed-form solution for the \noutage probability is derived. When m = 1, the results are applicable for Rayleigh fading. Computer simulations confirm the presented mathematical analysis.
