With respect to random and specific distributions of relay nodes, two different multi-relay selection protocols are proposed with deriving the expressions for the outage probability and throughput performances of the system. Both numerical and simulation results show that introducing a cooperation between the relays can significantly improve the system performance in both outage probability and throughput under the considered specific relay distribution. %U https://journal.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.13190/j.jbupt.2018-077
