Outage Analysis of Opportunistic Scheduling in Dual-Hop Multiuser Relay Networks in the Presence of Interference

The outage probability of a multiuser two-hop amplify-and-forward relaying system employing opportunistic scheduling is investigated. A practically important case where there are cochannel interference signals present at the network is considered for the analysis. Exact expressions and closed-form lower bounds are derived for the outage probability. Exact closed-form expressions are derived for the system outage probability when interference signals are present at the relay and at the destination separately. A closed-form lower bound is derived for the outage probability when the relay and the destination nodes are affected by interference simultaneously. The effects of channel state information feedback delay are investigated for special cases. In addition, asymptotic outage probability results are derived to obtain useful insights on the effects of interference and feedback delay. The novel expressions can be used by practicing engineers to obtain reliable and realistic performance estimates for dual-hop multiuser relay networks. The results are useful for understanding the capabilities of the feedback channel required in this system.
