Abstract:

Cooperative transmission can effectively overcome performance degradation caused by channel fading and thus improve diversity effect.In order to improve the spectral efficiency of all-time cooperative,relay selection strategy with selective decode-and-forward protocol based on threshold decision was mainly investigated.The performance was also analysed and the approximate expression of the outage probability and the spectrum efficiency with high signal-to-noise(SNR)were derived.Simulation results show that under low-SNR and few relays circulations,the outage probability under different thresholds are very close.If the collaboration threshold increases by 0.09,the spectral efficiency improves by 0.12.Under high-SNR and many relays circulations,the spectral efficiency under different thresholds are similar.When the system outage probability is 10-2,the collaboration threshold decreases by 0.9 and 1.1 dB SNR gain can be obtained.

Key words: selective decode-and-forward, relay selection, threshold decision, outage probability, spectrum efficiency
