Abstract
In this paper, the outage probability (OP) performance of multiple-relay-based incremental amplify-and-forward relaying device-to-device networks with transmit antenna selection (TAS) over N-Nakagami fading channels is investigated. The exact closed-form expressions for OP of the optimal and suboptimal TAS schemes are derived. The power allocation problem is formulated for performance optimization. Then the OP performance under different conditions is evaluated through numerical simulations to verify the analysis. The simulation results showed that optimal TAS scheme has a better OP performance than suboptimal TAS scheme, but the performance gap between the optimal and suboptimal schemes diminishes by increasing the number of antennas at the source; the fading coefficient, the number of cascaded components, the relative geometrical gain, the number of antennas, and the power-allocation parameter have an important influence on the OP performance.
