A relay selection protocol with interference(RSI)is proposed to solve the problem that co-channel interferences affect the relay selection in cooperative wireless networks. The protocol minimizes the system outage probability
and selects the relay with maximum instantaneous end-to-end signal to interference and noise ratio to forward the source message. Moreover
the selection combining scheme is deployed at the destination to combine the direct transmission and relay transmission when the direct transmission is taken into account. This strategy can make full use of space diversity and decrease the system outage probability. Compared with the existing relay selection protocols
the proposed protocol does not need any information exchange between any two relays
and the data transmission is completed by competition. Thus
the proposed protocol has a low system cost and good practicability. Simulation results
and comparisons with the max-min relay selection protocol show that when the number of relays is 4 and the outage probability is 10
-2
the proposed protocol achieves about 3~4 dB signal to noise ratio gain in Rayleigh fading channels.
