This paper addresses a cooperative transmission scheme based on Alamouti coding for cognitive radio networks over frequency selective fading channels. In the proposed scheme, the Alamouti coded form at the destination node is constructed through a simple combination of symbols at the source node, instead of the time-reversal operation and the conjugate operation at the relay nodes used in the conventional scheme. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme achieves a higher order cooperative diversity than that of the conventional scheme.

In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm to improve the performance of IEEE 802.16 based wireless mesh networks using directional antenna. The performance is presented in terms of throughput of system and delay between each node by varying number of users. The result show that proposed scheduling algorithm improving the performance by reducing the delay of mesh network system. Our work may be useful as a guideline to control the fairness between SSs for multi-hop systems such as multi-hop relay and mesh networks.

User cooperation provides high reliability in wireless communication systems by employing relay nodes to transmit the same information. In this paper, a bit error rate (BER) study is presented for decode-and-forward (DF) relaying for user cooperation in independent and identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels. For an arbitrary number of relays, exact and closed-form expressions of the BER are proposed for M-ary PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation), QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) and PSK (Phase Shift Keying), respectively. It is also shown that the analytic results are perfectly matched with the simulated ones.

If an accident vehicle propagates emergency messages to other vehicles close to it, the other drivers may realize and avoid the accident spot. In this letter, we propose a broadcast scheme to propagate emergency messages fast in urban VANETs (Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks) with the help of GPS (Global Position System). In our scheme, a transmitting vehicle chooses the farthest node as the next relay vehicle to propagate emergency messages. And, we suggest an algorithm for intersection recognition and SCF (Store-Carry-Forward) task by taking advantage of periodic hello packets to reduce the propagation time and enhance the delivery ratio.

In this paper, we studied the novel synchronization algorithm for cooperative communication system over fading. We research mainly on the decode-and-forward scheme. Also, we inserted spreading sequence in origin data frame to control efficiently data synchronization. In mobile station, inserted spreading sequence in data frame passed through the corelation process. We had decide the delay value of received data through result of correlation process. In simulation, We applied that channel gain of three node had different value in various fading environment. Finally we will be possible to control the received data synchronization using result of corelation value in each node between relay to mobile station and base station to mobile station. The results of this paper can be applicable to the cooperative systems.

This paper offers performance analysis of selection decode and forward (DF) networks with differential modulation/demodulation for an arbitrary number of relays in independent but not identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels. We have shown that the selection DF protocol with differential modulation can achieve full diversity in both independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) and independent but not identically distributed (i.n.d.) Rayleigh fading channels, and the performance loss due to using non-coherent detection is not substantial. Furthermore, we study the impact of combining techniques on the performance of the system by comparing a system that uses selection combining (SC) to one that uses maximum ratio combining (MRC). Simulations are performed and show that they match exactly with analytic ones in high SNR regime.

This paper investigates the performance of interference-limited two-way transmission protocols in the Rayleigh fading channels. New lower bound of outage probability and approximate expression of bit error rate (BER) for three-phase two-way relaying (3P-TWR) protocol are derived in closed-form. These expressions are valid for arbitrary signal-to-noise ratio values, numbers of co-channel interferers and amajority of modulation formats employed in the practical system. Then a comparative study is developed for the performance of three two-way transmission protocols, i.e., direct transmission (DT) protocol, two-phase two-way relaying (2P-TWR) protocol and 3P-TWR protocol based on the asymptotic expressions of outage probability and BER. On the basis of the theoretical results, the thresholds on the strength (variance) of direct channel and target rate for the relative performance of different protocols are obtained and the effect of interferences at the terminal and relay on the relative performance is analyzed. The results present key insights on how to choose proper two-way transmission protocol with the knowledge of fading channels, required date rate and modulation format to optimize the system performance in the practical interference-limited scenarios. Simulation results are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.

In this paper, we propose a new type of mutually cooperative relaying (MCR) scheme based on a spatially coordinate-interleaved orthogonal design (SCID), in which two cooperative users are spatially multiplexed without bandwidth expansion. It provides not only diversity gain (with order of two) as in the existing MCR scheme, but also additional coding gain. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed SCID scheme is useful for improving the uplink performance as long as one user can find another active user as a close neighbor that is simultaneously communicating with the same destination, e.g., a base station in the cellular network.

In this paper, we study a simulation model for cooperative MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) channels and present a cooperative one-ring channel model which is extended from the geometrical one-ring and two-ring scattering models. Assuming that the source, the destination and the relay are surrounded by an infinite number of scatters, we derive a reference model for the cooperative one-ring channel and propose a simulation model based on the reference model provided in the paper. Then we show how modeling parameters of the simulation model are determined to match the correlation functions for the respective models. With numerical investigation, we also show that the correlation functions for the reference and the simulation are well matched.

In this paper, we consider network-coded bi-directional relaying (NCBR) schemes over an asymmetric channel, in which bi-directional links have the different channel quality, as well as the asymmetric traffic load. In order to deal with asymmetric nature, two different types of NCBR schemes are considered: network coding after padding (NaP) and network coding after fragmentation (NaF). Even if NaP has been known as only a useful means of dealing with the asymmetry in traffic load up to now, our analysis shows that its gain can be significantly lost by the asymmetry in channel quality, under the given bit error performance constraint. Furthermore, it is shown that NaF always outperforms NaP, as well as traditional bi-directional relaying scheme.
