Outage probability analysis of opportunistic cooperative multicast based on coded cooperation

Cooperative communication has been proposed to improve the performance affected by multi-path propagation in the wireless network. Then, coded cooperation is emerging as a promising technology to improve the outage performances. Combining the coded cooperation with opportunistic relaying scheme can minimize the outage probability. In this paper, we propose a multicast cooperation strategy based on opportunistic relay selection with coded cooperation. The outage performance analysis of this strategy is obtained in this work. Furthermore, through numerical results, we analyze the average outage probability of different number of relay and cooperative ratio.
