Network-coded cooperation (NCC) has recently gained interest as it improves the network throughput in multi-source cooperative systems. NCC has been studied for single-antenna terminals only. Employing multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques can significantly improve the performance of NCC systems. Furthermore, the existing relay selection (RS) strategies for NCC utilize the “max-min” end-to-end (E2E) criterion. This selection strategy (called Strategy $\mathcal {A}$) is complicated even for a network with single-antenna terminals as it requires global channel state information (CSI). This requirement makes it hard to implement RS-based NCC. To counter this issue, we introduce a new RS strategy (Strategy $\mathcal {B}$), which utilizes only the local CSI (not global CSI), significantly reducing the signaling overhead without sacrificing the performance. The performance of MIMO-NCC under Strategies $\mathcal {A}$ and $\mathcal {B}$ is studied over independent and non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) Rayleigh fading channels. Relays and the destination are equipped with multiple antennas, whereas sources have a single antenna. The exact outage probability expressions of the system under consideration are derived. The asymptotic outage expressions are further provided to obtain valuable insights into the practical system-design parameters such as the diversity order and coding gain. Furthermore, numerical results are provided in support of the analytical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
