Outage Probability for Dual-Hop Fixed Gain Relay Networks with Feedback Delay, Estimation Error and Co-Channel Interference

Abstract:

The outage probability (OP) of dual-hop fixed-gain amplify-and-forward (AF) relay over Rayleigh fading channels is analyzed when the feedback delay, the estimation error and the multiple co-channel interferences (CCI) are all present. A closed-form expression for the OP is derived and validated by Monte Carlo simulations with several scenarios considered, also the impacts of feedback delay, estimation error and CCI have been shown in the numerical results.
