We deal with the concept of physical-layer fairness in amplify and forward cooperative diversity systems, which reflects the need for equally allocating the consumed power among the relays. To this end, we propose a method which utilizes knowledge on both the instantaneous and average channel conditions in order to encompass this concept, by attributing a weight coefficient to each relay depending on its average channel state and then selecting the relay with the best instantaneous "weighted" channel conditions. We also provide a performance analysis of the proposed scheme that includes an analytical expression for the outage probability, together with a closed form one in the high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) regime. Through the latter expression, the average symbol error probability (ASEP) for high SNRs is also derived. Numerical results demonstrate that, for small number of available relays or for high SNRs, the performance of the proposed scheme resembles that of the "best relay selection" scheme, in terms of outage probability and ASEP, despite maintaining the average power consumptions equal.
