In particular, we consider a secondary multi-relay network operating in the selection decode-and-forward（SDF） mode and propose a best-relay selection criterion which takes into account the spectrum-sharing constraint and interference. Based on these assumptions, the closed-form expression of the outage probability of secondary transmissions is derived. We find that a floor of the outage probability occurs in high signal-to-noise ratio（SNR） regions due to the joint effect of the constraint and the interference from the PU.
