Outage Analysis of Decode-and-Forward Relaying Over Nakagami- $m$ Fading Channels

In this letter, closed-form outage probability expressions are presented for an -relays dual-hop plus a direct link network, in which the decode-and-forward relaying protocol is employed. Our analysis significantly extends previous results on Rayleigh fading, considering a Nakagami- fading environment with either equal or distinct second hops fading parameters to average power ratios. Various numerical examples illustrate the proposed analysis.
