Summary: 
Cooperative diversity represents an effective way of combating multipath fading through inter-terminal cooperation in wireless networks. In this letter, we propose a new participation strategy that increases the chance of cooperation and present the closed-form expression for outage probability. Numerical results demonstrate that new participation strategy improves the outage performance.
