Abstract

In this letter, outage probability of dual-hop decode-and-forward (DF) relay-ing scheme is analyzed over mixed Rayleigh and generalized Gamma fading channels.
Cooperation model considered in this work consists of a source, a relay and a destination. It
is assumed that source-relay and relay-destination channels experience Rayleigh fading and
generalized Gamma fading, respectively. Exact outage probability expression is derived and
outage performance is illustrated for both direct transmission and DF relaying scheme.
