본 논문에서는 임의로 분포되어 있는 레일리 페이딩(Rayleigh fading) 채널 하에서 소스노드와 목적지 노드 사이의 직접 경로가 존재하고 복호 후 전송(decode-and-forward) 방식을 사용하여 중계하는 시스템을 고려한다. 이때, 다수의 릴레이 가운데 베스트 릴레이를 선택하여 이중 홉을 사용하여 통신하는 경우와 다중 홉을 사용하여 통신하는 경우의 아웃티지 확률을 구하고, 이를 통해 그 성능을 비교한다. 여기서 소스 노드와 릴레이들로부터 목적지 노드가 받은 모든 신호는 maximum ratio combining (MRC) 기법을 사용하여 결합하였고, 모든 경우에 대하여 목적지 노드에서 받은 수신 신호의 SNR이 갖는 확률 밀도 함수(probability density function, PDF)와 누적 확률 변수(cumulative density function, CDF)를 유도하였다. 이와 같이 구한 아웃티지 확률을 통해 릴레이의 개수가 2개일 때를 가정하고 실험한 결과, 채널 상태가 나쁠수록 다중 홉을 사용하여 통신하는 기법이 베스트 릴레이 선택 기법보다 좋은 성능을 보였다.

Cooperative relaying permits one or more relay to transmit a signal from the source to the destination, thereby increasing network coverage and spectral efficiency. The performance of cooperative relaying is often measured as outage probability. However, appropriate measure for the channel quality is outage capacity. Although the outage probability for cooperative relaying protocol has been analyzed before, very little research has been addressed for the outage capacity. This paper is the first of its kind to derive a closed-form analytical solution of outage capacity using fixed decode and forward relaying and amplify and forward relaying in dissimilar Rayleigh fading channels, considering channel coefficients known to the receiver side. The analytical results show a tradeoff between the SNR and the number of relays for specific outage capacity. A comparison between decode and forward relaying and amplify and forward relaying shows that decode and forward relaying outperforms amplify and forward relaying for a large number of relays.

This paper proposes a novel two-way relaying (TWR) approach for a two-relay wireless network based on non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), where two terminals exchange messages with a cellular base station (BS) via two intermediate relay stations (RSs). We propose a NOMA-based TWR approach with two relaying schemes, i.e., amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF), referred to as NOMA-AF and NOMA-DF. The sum-rate performance of our proposed NOMA-AF and NOMA-DF is analyzed. A closed-form sum-rate upper bound for the NOMA-AF is obtained, and the exact ergodic sum-rate of NOMA-DF is also derived. The asymptotic sum-rate of NOMA-AF and NOMA-DF is also analyzed. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms conventional orthogonal multiple access based transmission schemes. It is also shown that increasing the transmit power budget of the relays only cannot always improve the sum-rates.

In this paper, exact closed-form expressions for outage probability and bit error probability (BEP) are presented for multi-hop decode-and-forward (DF) relaying schemes in conjunction with cooperative diversity, in which selection combining technique is employed at each node. We have shown that the proposed protocol offers remarkable diversity advantage over direct transmission as well as the conventional DF relaying schemes with the same combining technique. We then investigate the system performance when different diversity schemes are employed. It has been observed that the system performance loss due to selection combining relative to maximal ratio combining is not significant. Simulations are performed to confirm our theoretical analysis.

본 논문에서는 듀얼 홉 multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) 중계 시스템에서 직교시공간블록코드 전송과 송신안테나 선택 전송을 선택적으로 이용하는 선택적 MIMO 전송 기술을 제안한다. 독립적인 레일레이 페이딩 채널을 가정하여 선택적 MIMO 전송 기술 기반의 디코딩 후 전달 중계 시스템에 대한 아웃티지 확률을 분석하고, 수치적 결과를 통해 직교시공간블록코드 전송 또는 송신안테나 선택 전송을 모든 홉에서 동일하게 이용하는 기존 시스템과 아웃티지 성능을 비교한다. 또한, 성능 비교를 통해 제안 기술이 아웃티지 성능의 저하 없이 시스템 오버헤드를 감소시킬 수 있음을 보인다.

In this paper, we derive the theoretical Symbol Error Probability (SEP) of cooperative systems with best relay selection for Nakagami-m fading channels. For Amplify and Forward (AF) relaying, the selected relay offers the best instantaneous Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of the relaying link (source-relay-destination). In cooperative networks using Decode and Forward (DF), the selected relay offers the best instantaneous SNR of the link between the relay and the destination among the relays that have correctly decoded the transmitted information by the source. In the second part of the paper, we derive the SEP when all participating AF and DF relaying is performed. In the last part of the paper, we extend our results to cognitive radio networks where there is interference constraints : only relays that generate interference to primary receiver lower than a predefined threshold T can transmit. Both AF and DF relaying with and without relay selection are considered.

We propose a new time-division half-duplex estimate-and-forward (EF) relaying strategy suitable for a relay with mobility. We reconfigure EF relaying to guarantee a strong relay-destination link which is required to achieve a high rate using EF relaying. Based on the reconfigured model, we optimize the relaying strategy to attain a high rate irrespective of the relay position with preserving the total transmit bandwidth and energy. The proposed relaying strategy achieves high communication reliability for any relay position, which differs from conventional EF and decode-and-forward (DF) relaying schemes.

요 약 네트워크에 속한 중계기들을 이용하여 다이버시티 이득을 얻는 협력 중계기법은 송신단으로부터 전송된 신호와 중계기로부터 전송된 신호를 수신하는 수신단에서는 신호를 수신하는 방법에 따라 고정형 중계기법과 증분형 중계기법으로 나뉜다. 네트워크에 속한 노드들 중 송신단과 수신단이 PU(Primary User)이고, 나머지 노드가 SU(Secondary User)일 경우 송신단이 신호를 전송하지 않는 동안 네트워크에 속한 노드들은 중계기로서 PU인 송신단과 수신단 간의 통신을 도울 수 있다. 그러나 모든 2차 사용자가 중계기로서 통신에 참여하게 되면 수신단에서 수신하는 신호가 증가하여 높은 차수의 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있지만 불필요한 시간슬롯을 소비하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 네트워크에 속한 SU 중 스펙트럼 홀의 검출에 성공한 노드 중 최상의 채널을 가지는 하나의 SU를 선택하여 선택된 SU만이 수신단으로 신호를 전송하는 협력 중계기법의 성능을 분석한다. 시스템의 성능 분석은 Matlab를 이용하였으며 다양한 중계기법의 성능 분석을 위해 AF, DF, 고정형 중계기법, 증분형 중계기법을 고려하였다.

Recently, efficient partial relay selection (e-PRS) was proposed as an enhanced version of PRS. In comparing e-PRS, PRS, and the best relay selection (BRS), there is a tradeoff between complexity and performance; that is, the complexity for PRS, e-PRS, and BRS is low to high, respectively, but vice versa for performance. In this paper, we study the outage probability for e-PRS in decode-and-forward (DF) relaying systems over non-identical Nakagami-m fading channels, where the fading parameter m is an integer. In particular, we provide closed-form expressions of the exact outage probability and asymptotic outage probability for e-PRS in DF relaying systems. Numerical results show that e-PRS achieves similar outage performance to that of BRS for a low or medium signal-to-noise ratio, a high fading parameter, a small number of relays, and a large difference between the average channel powers for the first and the second hops.

For dual-hop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) decode-and-forward relaying systems, we propose a selective relaying scheme that uses orthogonal space-time block code (OSTBC) and transmit antenna selection with maximal-ratio combining (TAS/MRC) or vice versa at the first and second hops, respectively. The aim is to achieve an asymptotically identical performance to the dual-hop relaying system with only TAS/MRC, while requiring lower feedback overhead. In particular, we give the selection criteria based on the antenna configurations and the average channel powers for the first and second hops, assuming Rayleigh fading channels. Also, the numerical results are shown for the outage performance comparison between the dual-hop DF relaying systems with the proposed scheme, only TAS/MRC, and only OSTBC.
