기존의 고정 중계를 하는 협력 통신 프로토콜은 중계기가 언제나 신호를 보내기 때문에 전송률이 높은 경우에는 비효율적이다[1]. 그러므로 수신단이 요구하는 경우에만 중계기가 신호를 송신하는 협력 재전송 프로토콜이 제안 되었다. 본고에서는 다양한 협력 재전송 프로토콜을 소개하고 송신단이 각 링크의 평균 신호대 잡음비만 아는 경우의 프로토콜들의 달성 가능 전송률을 비교한다. 또한, 전송 횟수에 제한이 없는 경우에 각 협력 재전송 프로토콜의 에르고딕 전송용량 달성 여부를 알아본다.

본 논문에서는 초고속 근거리 무선전송을 위한 60GHz 시스템에서 릴레이를 이용한 협력통신 기법을 제안한다. 60GHz대역은 LOS(Line-Of-Sight)가 보장되어 있지 않은 경우에 거리에 따른 신호 감쇄가 심하여 릴레이를 이용한 협력 통신 기법이 효과적이다. 릴레이를 이용한 협력통신 방법은 크게 증폭 후 전송(AF)과 복호 후 전송(DF)의 두 가지 프로토콜로 나누어지며, AF프로토콜은 Soft information을 보낼 수 있다는 장점이 있고 DF프로토콜은 릴레이에서 복호 후 데이터를 보낸다는 점에서 부호화 이득을 얻어 낼 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 또한 AF와 DF의 장점을 결합한 복호 후 증폭 전송(DAF)프로토콜이 소개되었고 이에 대한 분석이 이루어졌다. 이에 본 논문은 60GHz 시스템과 AWGN, Rayleigh 페이딩환경에서 AF프로토콜에 대한 DAF프로토콜의 성능 이득을 보이고 비교한다.

Cooperative communications play a important role in increasing frame transmission rate at wireless communication networks where frequency resource is strictly limited. In this paper, we did a research on how to select the helper nodes that are very import in cooperative communications. As a prelude study in this research field, we carried out performance comparison of three helper node selection schemes using computer simulation. The system throughput was used as the performance measure and the random way point mobility model, where every communicating nodes move around within the designated communication range, was used.

Cooperative networks enhance the overall communication performance by combining signals from relay nodes and direct signal. In this paper, we analyze the performance of cooperative communication systems which use mixed relaying protocols. By assuming several relay nodes exist between the source node and destination node, we consider the systems use not a single relaying protocol but both decode-and-forward and amplify-and-forward protocols randomly. We analyze the effect of each relying protocol for the overall system performance, and also consider the performance depending on the relay location. Differential modulation scheme which demodulates signal without channel state information is adopted where it can be applicable fast varying channel such as railway environments.

The WiMedia Alliance has specified a Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) protocol based on UWB for high speed wireless home networks and WPANs. In this paper, we propose a novel cooperative communication protocol adaptive to current UWB link transmission rate. The proposed cooperative communication protocol has compatibility with current WiMedia D-MAC and Wireless USB standard and is executed at each device according to a Relay Node Selection (RNS) criterion.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of cooperative communication techniques on an underwater channel. By analyzing the BER performance of cooperative transmission protocol and combining types ERC, FRC, SNRC and ESNRC on underwater channel, through the result, we can choose an a proper cooperative technique for an underwater channel. The analysis of BER performance is achieved by a computer simulation.

Conventional 1-1-1 cooperative protocol offers path-loss gain as advantage of multi-hop and spatial diversity which is equivalent to MIMO system. This protocol is enable to get higher reliability and reduction of power consumption than those of the single-hop or multi-hop. But the 1-1-1 cooperative protocol get only the diversity order 2 and limited path-loss reduction gain because this protocol has a single cooperative relay. We propose 1-2-1 cooperative protocol using two cooperative relays R1, R2. The 1-2-1 cooperative protocol can improve path-loss reduction and increase diversity order 3. Moreover, the cooperative relay R2 attains diversity order 2. The signaling method in transmission uses DF (Decode and Forward) or DR (Decode and Reencode) and 1-2-1 DF/DR cooperative protocol are applied to clustering based wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Simulations are performed to evaluate the performance of the protocols under Rayleigh fading channel plus AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise).

The WiMedia Alliance has specified a Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC)/WUSB protocol based on UWB for high speed wireless home networks and WPANs. In this paper, we propose a novel SoQ-based cooperative communication protocol adaptive to current UWB link transmission rate and QoS measure. The proposed SoQ-based cooperative communication protocol has compatibility with current WiMedia D-MAC/Wireless USB standard and is executed at each device according to a SoQ-based Relay Node Selection (RNS) criterion.

Cooperative communication, which transmit signal via arbitrary number of relays, enhances the overall communication performance by providing virtual Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) gain without imposing multiple antennal limitation in physical system. There are two representative relaying protocols, i.e., Amplify-and-Forward (AF) and Decode-and-Forward (DF), where we analyze the performance of cooperative communication by adopting DF relaying protocol applying partially differential modulation. The performance is based on symbol error rate (SER), and the effect of relay location on the performance is analyzed. We also compare the performance of the proposed scheme with the system which uses differential modulation scheme.
