This paper analyzes the performance of a multi-user multihop relay network using a low complexity decentralized relay selection (DRS) scheme for decode-and-forward cooperative networks. We carry out a rigorous diversity order analysis, with Nakagami- m fading and pathloss and show that the DRS scheme achieves full diversity while maintaining a complexity that is quadratic in the number of users, quadratic in the number of relays and independent of the number of hops. For a special case of two-user networks we derive exact closed-form expressions for the outage probability by considering the order statistics. Furthermore, we extend our analysis to consider interfering relay networks and derive an accurate lower bound on the outage of an arbitrary network user. Based on the lower bound we also show how the outage probability saturates in the high signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio regime. Extensive numerical examples are used to illustrate the accuracy of the analysis and to highlight the use of the DRS scheme in multi-user multihop relay networks. © 2018 IEEE.
