In this paper, we propose a cooperative maximum-ratio transmission (C-MRT) technique with multi-antenna relay nodes for tactical mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) where both the location and the number of antennas of relay nodes are arbitrary. Each relay node is assumed to know both the wireless channel coefficient from the source node to itself and the wireless channel from itself to the destination node, which is known as local channel state information (CSI) assumption. Maximum-ratio combining (MRC) and MRT techniques are used for beamforming the transmit and receive signals of the relay node, respectively. In addition, we mathematically analyze the overall outage probability of the proposed technique with moment generating function (MGF). It is shown that the mathematical analysis on the overall outage probability of the proposed C-MRT technique is matched well with the simulation results especially in high transmit power regimes. It is also observed that the proposed technique outperforms other schemes such as phase steering (PS) and optimal relay selection (ORS) in terms of outage probability.
