  • Abstract
    The overall relay channel from the source to the destination via relays has temporal properties quite different from any cellular channel. This work presents a study for time-dependent performance of relay channels for both fast-fading and log-normal shadow fading in terms of average outage duration, frequency of outage and probability of outage. Results show that there is a good agreement between analytical expressions and simulations.
