Outage Probability Analysis of Dual Hop Relay Networks in Presence of Interference
Cooperative relaying improves the performance of wireless networks by forming a network of multiple independent virtual sources transmitting the same information as the source node. However, interference induced in the network reduces the performance of cooperative communications. In this work the statistical properties, the cumulative distribution function (CDF) and the probability density function (PDF) for a basic dual hop cooperative relay network with an arbitrary number of interferers over Rayleigh fading channels are derived. Two system models are considered: in the first system model, the interferers are only at the relay node; and in the second system model, interferers are both at the relay and the destination. This work is further extended to Nakagami-m faded interfering channels. Simulation results are presented on outage probability performance to verify the theoretical analysis
Outage Probability of Dual-Hop Selective AF With Randomly Distributed and Fixed Interferers
The outage probability performance of a dual-hop amplify-and-forward
selective relaying system with global relay selection is analyzed for
Nakagami- fading channels in the presence of multiple interferers at both
the relays and the destination. Two different cases are considered. In the
first case, the interferers are assumed to have random number and locations.
Outage probability using the generalized Gamma approximation (GGA) in the form
of one-dimensional integral is derived. In the second case, the interferers are
assumed to have fixed number and locations. Exact outage probability in the
form of one-dimensional integral is derived. For both cases, closed-form
expressions of lower bounds and asymptotic expressions for high
signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio are also provided. Simplified
closed-form expressions of outage probability for special cases (e.g., dominant
interferences, i.i.d. interferers, Rayleigh distributed signals) are studied.
Numerical results are presented to show the accuracy of our analysis by
examining the effects of the number and locations of interferers on the outage
performances of both AF systems with random and fixed interferers.Comment: 35 pages, 11 figures, accepted with minor revisions for publication

The Distribution of Minimum of Ratios of Two Random Variables and Its Application in Analysis of Multi-hop Systems
The distributions of random variables are of interest in many areas of science. In this paper, ascertaining on the importance of multi-hop transmission in contemporary wireless communications systems operating over fading channels in the presence of cochannel interference, the probability density functions (PDFs) of minimum of arbitrary number of ratios of Rayleigh, Rician, Nakagami-m, Weibull and α-µ random variables are derived. These expressions can be used to study the outage probability as an important multi-hop system performance measure. Various numerical results complement the proposed mathematical analysis
