Outage Probability Evaluation for Relay-Based DF Cooperative Diversity Systems with Multipath Fading Channels and Non-Identical Interferers

This paper analyzes the performance of a two-hop DF cooperative network over different types of fading channels with the availability of multiple L interfering signals nearby the destination. The outage probability is thoroughly analyzed, and observations are made to specify the determinate factors that will influence the system's behavior. Since it is nearly hard to derive the exact expression of the outage probability, we derived an approximated tight closed form expression.
