Asymptotic Analysis of Opportunistic Relaying Based on the Max-Generalized-Mean Selection Criterion

In an opportunistic relaying mechanism, the "best" relay is selected to forward a received signal to the destination. In this paper, we propose a novel criterion to choose the "best" relay, namely the max-generalized-mean (MGM) selection criterion, which encompasses the max-min and the max-harmonic-mean (MHM) selection criteria. We then analyze the asymptotic outage probability of the selection de...
