Performance analysis of the opportunistic multi-relay network with co-channel interference

A study of the effect of co-channel interference (CCI) on the performance of opportunistic multi-relay amplify-and-forward cooperative communication network is presented. Precisely, we consider the CCI exists at both relays and destination nodes. Exact equivalent end-to-end signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) is derived. Then, closed-form expressions for both cumulative distribution function (CDF) and probability density function (PDF) of the received SINR at the destination node are obtained. The derived expressions are used to measure the asymptotic outage probability of the system. Numerical results and Matlab simulations are also provided to sustain the correctness of the analytical calculations.
