In this paper, we propose a multi-hop cooperative transmission protocol to obtain energy savings in static wireless networks. Each terminal in the network is equipped with a single antenna and each receiver uses equal gain combining technique (EGC) to combine received signals. We also propose a power allocation strategy which optimizes the total transmit power at each stage. Monte-Carlo simulations are presented to evaluate and compare performance of the proposed protocol with the multi-hop direct transmission (MDT) and the cooperative routing protocol proposed by Khadani [8], in terms of the average total transmit power and the average number of required stages.

In this paper, we derive the performance analysis of the coded cooperation over a Rician fading channel. A new scheme called coded cooperation was suggested by using user cooperation and channel codes simultaneously. In previous works, it was verified that the coded cooperation schemes have better performance than other relay schemes in a Rayleigh fading channel. However, the high speed short range indoor wireless communication system has recently attracted research attention and its channel with very high carrier frequency(60GHz) can be typically modeled as a Rician fading channel. We derive analytical outage probabilities and bit error probabilities of the coded cooperation over the Rician fading channel and prove it to have full diversity order.

복호 후 전달 협력 통신 프로토콜(DFP: Decode-and-Forward Cooperative Communication Protocol)은 물리적인 안테나의 증가 없이 다중 안테나 시스템의 장점을 가지는 통신 방법이다. 지금까지는 신호 대 잡음 비율(SNR: Signal to Noise Ratio)이나 경로이득 크기의 루트를 취한 값들을 이용하여 중계 노드에서 복호한 데이터를 전달 여부를 결정하여 중계 노드에서 부정확한 검파가 되지 않도록 방지하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 DFP 에서 사용되던 SNR 을 대체할 수 있는 LLR(Log-Likelihood Ratio)를 이용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 레일리 페이딩 환경과 AWGN 환경에서 기준값이나 중계 노드의 위치에 상관없이 LLR 기반의 DFP 가 SNR 기반의 DFP 보다 높은 성능을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

현재의 인터넷 기술들은 수십 년 전에 설계된 구조와 프로토콜을 근간으로 점점 늘어나는 사용자들의 요구를 충족시키기 위해 부분적으로 개선하는 방식으로 진행되어왔다. 향후 $1{\sim}20$년 뒤의 미래를 고려한다면 현재 인터넷의 약점들을 극복하는 혁신적인 방식으로 미래 인터넷 구조와 프로토콜들을 재설계할 필요가 있다. 이러한 미래인터넷 기술에 대한 연구는 미국, 유럽, 일본 등 국제적으로 본격적인 활동에 돌입하였으며 국내에서도 2007년 정보통신부 신성장동력사업의 일환으로 미래인터넷 핵심기술 연구 사업이 선정되어 연구기획, 원천기술연구, 표준화 분야 등에서 국제 협력 및 한국의 미래인터넷 연구를 이끌어 나가고 있다. 국제적으로 경쟁력을 가지는 미래인터넷 연구를 위해서는 국제 협력을 기반으로 지속적인 지원 및 실험환경 구축이 필수적이며 미래인터넷 연구 인력의 양성이 뒷받침되어야만 할 것이다.

This paper has proposed 1-2-1 coded cooperative communication that is a combination of STBC and ARQ. Coded cooperative communication is a protocol that integrates channel coding with cooperative communication. In this paper consider convolution encoder. ARQ method can increase the spectral efficiency than conventional cooperative communication because if the received signal from source node is satisfied by the destination preferentially, the destination transmits ACK message to both relay node and source node and then recovers the received signal. Where each relay 1, 2 forwards a punctured portion of receive data. When relay transmit to destination apply STBC the reliability to increase. Moreover this protocol can get better BER performance of receiver using simple comparator. We verified BER performance for the proposed protocol through Monte-Carlo simulation over Rayleigh fading plus AWGN.

In this paper, a cooperative MAC protocol that is reliable over bad wireless channel environments and thus can enhance the system performance much more is proposed. Its performance is evaluated with the computer simulation. The system throughput and average waiting delay are used as performance measures. According to numerical results, the proposed MAC protocol provides better system throughput by 24% than the traditional rDCF scheme. From the average waiting delay point of view, when the number of terminals is small, the proposed MAC protocol has the better performance in an average view-point than the rDCF scheme. However, when the number of terminals is large, the proposed MAC protocol provides a little worse performance than the rDCF scheme. That is because, when the number of terminals is large, the dominant factor affecting the system performance is channel contention procedure, which results in lots of collisions. However, if the queuing delays in the waiting buffers are included for calculating the average waiting delay, then the total system delay will be smaller than the rDCF scheme.

In this paper, we use the ECMA-392 standard, the first cognitive radio networks to meet the demand for IT services in the ship. We propose a ECMA-392 cooperative MAC protocol to ensure QoS to support multimedia services in the ship area in a multi-hop wireless bridge using ECMA-392 networks. Because the proposed protocol transmits directly or relay transmission by selecting efficient routes based on the information of the ECMA-392 devices, it provides communication to ensure QoS of the device. The simulation results show that the proposed cooperative MAC protocol improves a throughput of devices compared to the existing method.

In this paper, a study on finding an appropriate helper node that can help increase effective frame transmission rate for cooperative communications at ad hoc networks is carried out. Those researches from reference use the reactive helper node selection mechanism which starts its role after exchanging RTS and CTS frames between source and destination nodes, and are implemented into our simulator for performance comparison. System throughput and average channel access delay are used for performance measures and all communicating nodes are assumed to move independently within the communication range. It is anticipated that this research result can be used as basic information for designing a new efficient helper node selection scheme.

In this paper, an efficient technique for enhancing the QoS of multimedia service for an WiMedia network applying distributed cooperative medium access (D-MAC) protocol is proposed. D-MAC protocol has been proposed to support high-rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (HR-WPANs) by the WiMedia Alliance. Unlike the centralized IEEE 802.15.3 MAC, the D-MAC UWB specified by WiMedia supports all devices to be self-organized and removes the SOP (Simultaneous Operating Piconet) problem, i.e., packet collisions between overlapped piconets in the centralized IEEE 802.15.3 MAC. However the WiMedia D-MAC can't prevent reduce the throughput degradation occurred by mobile nodes with low data rate. Therefore, a distributed cooperative MAC protocol for multi-hop UWB network is proposed in this paper. The proposed technique can intelligently select the transmission path with higher data rate to provide real-time multimedia services with minimum delay, thus enhances QoS of multimedia service.

This paper introduces reliable multicast MAC protocol for cooperative unmanned vehicles. cooperative unmanned vehicles communicate with infrastructure and other unmanned vehicles in order to increase driving safety. They exchange information related to driving and thus it requires real-time and reliable multicast. However, the international vehicular communication standard, IEEE 802.11p WAVE, does not provide a reliable multicast scheme on the MAC layer. To address the problems of reliability, we propose a reliable multicast protocol called WiVCL, which avoids contention and collision. Our evaluation shows that the WiVCL achieves a high degree of reliability and real-time features.
