K. Karagiannidis The two main Amplify and Forward cooperative protocols are the orthogonal OAF and the nonorthogonal one NAF . In this paper we consider a given source N relays a destination and a channel realization and we try to resolve the following problem what is the best way to communicate without cooperation or using one of the two cooperative protocols This is equivalent to a power-sharing problem on the cooperation frame between source and relays aiming to the short-term channel capacity maximization. The obtained solution shows that cooperative protocol choice depends only on the available power at the relays. However the decision to cooperate depends on the channel conditions. We show that our power allocation scheme with relay selection improves the outage probability compared to the selective OAF and the NAF protocols and has a significant capacity gain.

INTRODUCTION Communications on wireless channels are limited by multiple impairment sources multipath fading shadowing and path loss . Many diversity techniques have been developed to fight the fast fading such as multiple antennas for the spatial diversity coding for the time diversity. Recently cooperative diversity .
