중계기를 활용한 다중 입력 기술이 차세대 광대역 무선 이동 통신의 유력한 후보로 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 채널 선택적 중계기 기반의 다중 입력 전송 시스템을 제안한다. 본 전송 시스템은 상하향 전송을 위해 SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access)와 OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 방식을 각각 채택한다. 단말기와 기지국 간 사용되는 부채널을 고정하고, 중계기와 단말기 또는 중계기와 기지국 사이의 채널 상태에 따라 선택적으로 부채널을 사용함으로써 수신 성능을 크게 향상시킬 수 있다. 실험 결과를 통해, 제안된 중계기 기반 시스템의 성능이 기존의 중계기 기반 시스템의 성능보다 우수함을 확인한다.

Cooperative diversity is a novel technique to improve diversity gains, capacity gains, and energy saving. This technique involves multiple terminals sharing resources in order to build a virtual antenna array in a distributed fashion. In this paper, we propose a multi-user cooperative diversity protocol called Relay-assisted Multiple Access Channel(R-MAC) that allows multiple source terminals to transmit their signals simultaneously and the relay terminal forwards the aggregated signal received from the source terminals to the destination terminal. The proposed protocol converts the distributed antenna channels into an effective MIMO channel by exploiting a relay, increasing both diversity gain and system throughput. We investigate the performance of the proposed protocol in terms of outage probability and diversity-multiplexing tradeoff where we assume block fading channel environment. Our simulation results show that the proposed protocol outperforms direct transmission in the high spectral efficiency regime where the conventional cooperative diversity protocols cannot outperform direct transmission.

본 논문에서는 시분할 다중 접속 릴레이 채널을 고려한다. 여기서 두 개의 송신 노드들은 서로 다른 데이터율을 가진 데이터를 네트워크 코딩을 수행하는 단일 릴레이 노드를 통해 단일 수신 노드에게 전송한다. 하지만 이러한 비대칭한 데이터율 때문에 릴레이 노드는 수신한 비트에 대하여 XOR 기반의 네트워크 코딩을 효율적으로 수행할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 위와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 제로 패딩(Zero Padding) 방식과 계층 16QAM 방식을 개별적으로 네트워크 코딩과 결합하여 성능비교를 수행한다.

본 논문은 두 노드가 하나의 중계기를 통하여 서로 데이터를 주고받는 양방향 중계 네트워크에서 중계기의 안테나의 개수가 2개 이상인 다중 안테나 환경을 고려하여 물리계층 네트워크 코딩 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 양방향 중계 채널에서 다중접속구간 (multiple access phase)에서의 성능에 집중한다. 본 논문에서는 무선 통신 채널을 송신 노드에서 미리 알지 못하는 경우를 고려하고 무선채널이 시간에 따라 독립적으로 변하는 Fast fading 환경을 고려한다. 수신단에서는 채널 상태 정보를 이용하여 각 심벌을 최대 우도비기반의 신호 복호기법을 이용하고 채널부호화기법으로는 Convolutional Codes를 이용한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여 중계기의 안테나의 개수가 증가함에 따라 비트 오류 확률의 성능이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we consider a two-way relay non-orthogonal multiple access (TWR-NOMA) system with residual hardware impairments (RHIs) and channel estimation errors (CEEs), where two group users exchange their information via the decode-and-forward (DF) relay by using NOMA protocol. To evaluate the performance of the considered system, exact analytical expressions for the outage probability of the two groups users are derived in closed-form. Moreover, the asymptotic outage behavior in the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime is examined and the diversity order is derived and discussed. Numerical simulation results verify the accuracy of theoretical analyses, and show that: i) RHIs and CEEs have a deleterious effects on the outage probabilities; ii) CEEs have significant effects on the performance of the near user; iii) Due to the RHIs, CEEs, inter-group interference and intra-group interference, there exists error floors for the outage probability.

In this paper, we investigate the degrees of freedom (DoF) of a two-cluster multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multiway relay interference channel (mRIC), where there are two relays and two users per cluster. In this channel, users within the same cluster exchange messages among themselves with the help of two relays.We first obtain the DoF upper bound of the considered MIMO mRIC based on cut-set bound. Then, we propose a novel transmission strategy, blind interference neutralization (BIN), to approach the DoF upper bound. This new method utilizes the overheard information at two relays and focuses on the beamforming matrix designs at two relays so that the channel state information (CSI) at users is not required. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, we show that the DoF upper bound can be obtained by using the BIN scheme. From simulation results, we show that the proposed BIN scheme can provide significant performance gain over the conventional time division multiple access (TDMA) scheme in terms of DoF. In addition, we show that the BIN scheme is a superior approach to the existing signal space alignment (SSA) schemes for the considered mRIC.

This paper considers a cellular two-way relay network with one base station (BS), one relay station (RS), and two users. The two users are far from the BS and no direct links exist, and the two users exchange messages with the BS via the RS. A non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and network coding (NC)-based decode-and-forward (DF) two-way relaying (TWR) scheme TWR-NOMA-NC is proposed, which is able to reduce the number of channel-uses to three from four in conventional time-division multiple access (TDMA) based TWR approaches. The achievable sum-rate performance of the proposed approach is analyzed, and a closed-form expression for the sum-rate upper bound is derived. Numerical results show that the analytical sum-rate upper bound is tight, and the proposed TWR-NOMA-NC scheme significantly outperforms the TDMA-based TWR and NOMA-based one-way relaying counterparts.

Cooperative communications using relays in wireless networks have similar effects of multiple-input and multiple-output without the need of multiple antennas at each node. To implement cooperation into a system, efficient protocols are desired. In IEEE 802.11 families such as a/b/g, mobile stations can automatically adjust transmission rates according to channel conditions. However throughput performance degradation is observed by low-rate stations in multi-rate circumstances resulting in so-called performance anomaly. In this paper, we propose active relay-based cooperative medium access control (AR-CMAC) protocol, in which active relays desiring to transmit their own data for cooperation participate in relaying, and it is designed to increase throughput as a solution to performance anomaly. We have analyzed the performance of the simplified AR-CMAC using an embedded Markov chain model to demonstrate the gain of AR-CMAC and to verify it with our simulations. Simulations in an infrastructure network with an IEEE 802.11b/g access point show noticeable improvement than the legacy schemes.

Due to the wide application of fifth generation communication, wireless sensor networks have become an indispensable part in our daily life. In this paper, we analyze physical layer security for two-way relay with energy harvesting (EH), where power splitter is considered at relay. And two kinds of combined methods, i.e., selection combining (SC) and maximum ratio combining (MRC) schemes, are employed at eavesdropper. What's more, the closed-form expressions for security performance are derived. For comparison purposes, this security behaviors for orthogonal multiple access (OMA) networks are also investigated. To gain deeper insights, the end-to-end throughput and approximate derivations of secrecy outage probability (SOP) under the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime are studied. Practical Monte-Carlo simulative results verify the numerical analysis and indicate that: i) The secure performance of SC scheme is superior to MRC scheme because of being applied on eavesdropper; ii) The secure behaviors can be affected by various parameters like power allocation coefficients, transmission rate, etc; iii) In the low and medium SNR region, the security and channel capacity are higher for cooperative non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) systems in contrast with OMA systems; iv) The systematic throughput can be improved by changing the energy conversion efficiency and power splitting factor. The purpose of this study is to provide theoretical direction and design of secure communication.
