1 Analysis of Outage Probability and Throughput for Half-Duplex Hybrid-ARQ Relay Channels Behrouz Maham, Member, IEEE, Aydin Behnad, Member, IEEE, and Mérouane Debbah, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract— We consider a half-duplex wireless relay network the transmissions of source and cooperator are orthogonal. The with hybrid-automatic retransmission request (HARQ) and capacity of cooperative networks using both the decode-and- Rayleigh fading channels. In this paper, we analyze the average forward and coded cooperation has been extensively studied throughput and outage probability of the multi-relay delay- limited HARQ system with opportunistic relaying scheme in [6], [7] for simple networks with simple medium access con- decode-and-forward mode, in which the best relay is selected to trol (MAC) protocols. In [8], a system with two transmission transmit the source’s regenerated signal. A simple and distributed phases that makes use of convolutional codes is analyzed and relay selection strategy is considered for multi-relay HARQ characterized by means of partner choice and performance channels. Then, we utilize the non-orthogonal cooperative trans- regions. Resource allocation for space-time coded cooperative mission between the source and selected relay for retransmitting of the source data toward the destination if needed, using space- networks has been studied in [9], [10], where the analysis time codes. We analyze the performance of the system. We first of bit error rate and outage probability are also derived. derive the cumulative density fu
