摘要
In this letter, a novel approach for outage probability analysis of the multinode amplify-and-forward relay network is provided. It is shown that the harmonic mean of two exponential random variables can be approximated, at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), to be an exponential random variable. The single relay case considered before is a special case of our analysis. Based on that approximation, an outage probability bound is derived which proves to be tight at high SNR. Based on the derived outage probability bound, optimal power allocation is studied. Simulation results show a performance improvement, in terms of symbol error rate, of the optimal power allocation compared to the equal power-allocation scheme.
