In existing literature on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relaying communication systems, antenna selection is often implemented by maximizing the channel capacity or the output single-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient low-complexity antenna selection scheme for MIMO relaying communication systems. The proposed algorithm is based on beamforming and maximizing the Frobenius norm to jointly optimize the transmit power, number of active antennas, and antenna subsets at the source, relaying and destination. We maximize the energy efficiency between the link of source to relay and the link of relay to destination to obtain the maximum energy efficiency of the system, subject to the SNR constraint. Compared to existing antenna selection methods forMIMO relaying communication systems, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can save more power in term of energy efficiency, while having lower computational complexity.

In multi-hop communication systems, two-way relaying is one of the solutions to mitigate the spectral efficiency loss caused by a half-duplex transmission. In this paper, a simple two-way relaying scheme is proposed for two-hop two-user multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. In the proposed system, a base station and a relay station (RS), both equipped with two antennas, form a point-to-point MIMO channel, while the RS and two single-antenna mobile users form a point-to-multipoint multiuser (MU)-MIMO channel. Numerical examples show that the proposed system achieves a significant sum rate gain as compared to a one-way relaying system as the distance between a relay and the two users decreases. We also show that although we can expand the proposed scheme to more than two users, its performance gain as compared to that of one-way relaying decreases with an increase in the number of users.

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.

Up to now, many state-of-arts have been proposed for two-way relaying system with linear modulations. The performances of antenna selection (AS) at both transmit and relay nodes need to be investigated in some two-way relaying multiple-input multiple-output (TWRM) systems. In this paper, the goal is focused on the study of nonlinear modulations, i.e., continuous phase modulation (CPM) in TWRM systems. Firstly, the joint phase trellis are simplified by reversed Rimoldi processing so as to reduce the systems' complexity. Then the performances of joint transmit and receive antenna selection (JTRAS) with CPM modulations in two-way relaying MIMO systems are analyzed. More exactly, the pair wise probability (PEP) is used to evaluate the error performance based on the CPM signal matrix, which is calculated in terms of Laurent expression. Since the channels subject to two terminal nodes share common antennas at relay node R in multiple-access scheme, we revise the JTRAS algorithm and compare it to existing algorithm via simulation. Finally, the error performances for various schemes of antenna selection are simulated and compared to the analysis in this paper.

The deployment of an incremental hybrid decode-amplify and forward relaying scheme is a promising and superior solution for cellular networks to meet ever-growing network traffic demands. However, the selection of a suitable relaying protocol based on the signal-to-noise ratio threshold is important in realizing an improved quality of service. In this paper, an incremental hybrid relaying protocol is proposed using polar codes. The proposed protocol achieves a better performance than existing turbo codes in terms of capacity. Simulation results show that the polar codes through an incremental hybrid decode-amplify-and-forward relay can provide a 38% gain when ${\gamma}_{th(1)}$ and ${\gamma}_{th(2)}$ are optimal. Further, the channel capacity is improved to 17.5 b/s/Hz and 23 b/s/Hz for $2{\times}2$ MIMO and $4{\times}4$ MIMO systems, respectively. Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to achieve the optimal solution.

선택적 중계 기법은 수신 복잡도가 낮으면서도 선택 다이버시티로 인하여 성능 향상을 도모할 수 있는 협력 통신 시스템의 전송 기법 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 이 시스템의 오차 확률을 최소화 할 수 있는 선형 전처리 기술을 다룬다. 전 채널 상태 정보가 모든 단말에서 이용 가능하다는 가정 하에, 수신 신호의 평균 제곱 오차를 최소화하기 위한 송신 및 중계 전처리 필터를 제안한다. 중계 전송을 위한 최적의 송신 및 중계 전처리 필터는 수식적으로 표현하기 어렵고 반복 연산을 요구하므로 이를 단순화한 기법을 적용한다. 게다가, 고정된 신호 대 잡음비의 임계치를 사용하는 기존의 선택적 중계 기법과 달리 직접 경로와 중계 경로에서의 신호 검출 후 최소 신호 대 잡음비를 비교하여 더 큰 값을 갖는 경로를 전송 경로로 선택하는 기법을 소개한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안한 선택 중계 기법이 기존의 중계 기법 및 선택적 중계 기법보다 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있다.

Under an imperfect channel estimation, a Device-to-Device (D2D) communication framework based on MIMO relay technology is presented. The model consists of a D2D pair equipped with M antennas and a relay equipped with N antennas as well as a cellular user equipped with M antennas. The outage probability under different relaying protocols (i.e. AF and DF protocol) with and without considering a direct link was derived. The actual and theoretical outage probability of the five links under different antenna numbers was emulated. The number of user antennas and channel estimation error was analyzed carefully to determine their impact on the outage probability of a system. The simulation verified the theory analyses and the results showed that MIMO relaying improves the D2D communication system performance.

In this paper, we consider a relaying system which employs a single relay in a wireless network with distributed sources and destinations. Here, all source, destination, and relay nodes are equipped with multiple antennas. For amplify-and-forward relay systems, we confirm the achievable sum rate through a joint multiple source precoders and a single relay filter design. To this end, we propose a new linear processing scheme in terms of maximizing the sum rate performance by applying a blockwise relaying method combined with geometric programming techniques. By allowing the global channel knowledge at the source nodes, we show that this joint design problem is formulated as a standard geometric program, which can guarantees a global optimal value under the modified sum rate criterion. Simulation results show that the proposed blockwise relaying scheme with the joint power allocation method provides substantial sum rate gain compared to the conventional schemes.

이동 단말기에 다중 안테나를 장착하는 것은 단말기의 크기와 전력 소모 문제로 현실적인 어려움을 안고 있다. 본 논문에서는 셀룰러 네트워크에서 단일 안테나를 가지는 이동 단말기의 전송 용량 증대를 위해, 다중안테나 통신 (MIMO)을 통해서 얻을 수 있는 선형적인 전송 용량 증대를 달성하는 신호 중계 기반 분산 다중 안테나기법을 제안하고 성능을 분석한다. 분산 다중안테나 시스템을 위한 단말 간 신호 중계에 증폭 후 전달 기법(Amplify-and-Forward)을 사용할 경우에 비해 양자화 후 전달 (Quantize-Map-and-Forward) 기법을 사용하는 경우, 처리율 측면에서 보다 우수한 성능을 달성할 수 있음을 실험을 통해서 보인다. 또한, 선형적 전송 용량 증대폭을 보다 향상시키기 위해 양자화 후 전달 중계 방식을 활용하여 다중접속채널을 구성하는 방법을 제안하고, 이러한 다중접속채널 구성이 가능한 조건을 충족시키기 위한 단말기 선택을 가능하게 하는 후보 이동 단말기 수를 분석하였다. 이러한 분산 다중 안테나 통신 기법은 셀룰러 시스템에서 지역적으로 분리된 클러스터들을 서비스하기 때문에 주파수 재사용을 가능하게 하며, 이로 인해 클러스터의 숫자에 비례하는 전체 셀룰러 용량 증대에 기여한다.
