Abstract

In this paper, we consider a two way relay network for ship-to-ship communications in a fleet, where two communicating ships exchange the information with the help of a multi-antenna relay ship. For the network, we propose a rate-aware three-phase analog network coding to improve the reliability of the information exchange with asymmetric rates. The proposed scheme allows low-complex implementation of the relay without channel estimation by generating an improved analog network coded signal with the orthogonally received signals from two ships by using only the received signal power at each antenna. In addition, the proposed scheme reduces outages in the data exchange at asymmetric rates by adopting a rate-aware relay power allocation, which is confirmed by evaluating the outage performance via simulation.

본 논문은 선단 내 해상 통신에서 두 통신 선박이 다중 안테나 릴레이 선박의 도움으로 데이터를 교환하는 양방향 릴레이 네트워크를 고려한다. 상기 네트워크에서 두 통신 선박의 정보 전송률이 다를 때 정보 전송 신뢰도를 높이는 전송률 인지 세 단계 아날로그 네트워크 부호화 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 릴레이에서 직교하게 수신된 각 통신 선박의 신호로부터 향상된 품질의 아날로그 네트워크 부호화 신호를 안테나 수신 전력만을 이용하여 생성함으로써 릴레이를 채널 추정 기능 없이 낮은 복잡도로 구현할 수 있도록 한다. 또한, 제안 기법은 두 통신 선박의 서로 다른 전송률을 고려한 전송률-인지 릴레이 전력 할당 방법을 적용하여 비대칭 전송률을 갖는 데이터 교환의 아웃티지 확률을 크게 줄일 수 있음을 모의실험으로 보였다.
