Abstract

Relay selection, antenna selection, and link selection are three potent means to enrich network capacity in MIMO relaying networks. To reduce feedback overhead, in this paper, three distributed antenna-and-relay selection schemes are proposed for AF multiple-relay network, which is equipped with multiple antennas at nodes. Closed-form formulations of system outage probability are derived for these schemes, as well as the lower bounds and upper bounds. Furthermore, the approximate expressions of outage probability at high SNR regime are also derived, showing that the proposed optimal strategy can achieve full diversity order. In addition, link selection scheme can improve spectral efficiency since it saves one time slot when direct link is selected.
