Abstract

In this paper, we focus on a two-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative network, in which one source node equipped with multiple antennas communicates with a single-antenna destination, relying on a single-antenna relay. In order to implement beamforming, channel state information (CSI) is feeded back to the source from relay using random vector quantization (RVQ) codebook. Furthermore, one relay with the best CSI is selected in each communication. An upper bound of the outage probability of the whole system is derived and the simulation results show that this bound is very tight.
