Cooperative diversity improves the performance of wireless networks by having several nodes transmit the same information. We present an outage probability analysis for a decode-and-forward system, valid at all signal to noise ratios (SNR). A closed form solution is obtained for independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) channels, and two tight lower bounds are presented for correlated channels.Â
