Abstract
Performance of cooperative diversity schemes at Low Signal to Noise Ratios (LSNR) was recently studied by Avestimehr et. al. [1] who emphasized the importance of diversity gain over multiplexing gain at low SNRs. It has also been pointed out that continuous energy transfer to the channel is necessary for achieving the max-flow min-cut bound at LSNR. Motivated by this we propose the use of Selection Decode and Forward (SDF) at LSNR and analyze its performance in terms of the outage probability. We also propose an energy optimization scheme which further brings down the outage probability.
