  Opportunistic relaying is a simple yet efficient cooperation scheme that
achieves full diversity and preserves the spectral efficiency among the
spatially distributed stations. However, the stations' mobility causes temporal
correlation of the system's capacity outage events, which gives rise to its
important second-order outage statistical parameters, such as the average
outage rate (AOR) and the average outage duration (AOD). This letter presents
exact analytical expressions for the AOR and the AOD of an opportunistic
relaying system, which employs a mobile source and a mobile destination
(without a direct path), and an arbitrary number of (fixed-gain
amplify-and-forward or decode-and-forward) mobile relays in Rayleigh fading
environment.
