Efficient bandwidth utilisation is significant in new communication systems where secondary users can be used besides primary users considering interference issues and idle state of primary users. Using secondary users as relays to transmit their own signals in addition to the primary signals can be applied for more reliability of the system where opportunistic relay selection can significantly enhance the performance of the system. The best-condition secondary user is selected as the optimum relay for retransmission of primary/secondary signal. Outage probability is analysed in this paper based on decode and forward technique in secondary users while the closed-form statement for outage probability is provided and verified by numerical evaluations.
