Abstract
In this paper, we consider relay selection for turbo coded cooperative networks subject to Nakagami-m fading when the channel state information (CSI) is known at the receiver but is not necessarily ideal. This non-ideality may be due to a feedback delay caused by the difference between the instantaneous CSI during the transmission and the CSI at the time of relay selection, resulting in outdated CSI phenomena. The impact of the outdated CSI on the proposed scheme is well investigated. A closed-form expression for the exact outage probability is derived as well as its asymptotic expression in the high signal-to-noise (SNR) regime. Moreover, upper bounds on the bit-error rate (BER) are presented and a study of the diversity order reveals that for ideal CSI, full diversity in the number of relays and fading parameters m is achieved as opposed to outdated CSI where the achievable diversity is equivalent to the diversity of a coded cooperative network with a single relay.
