Cooperative networks enhance the overall communication performance by combining signals from relay nodes and direct signal. In this paper, we analyze the performance of cooperative communication systems which use mixed relaying protocols. By assuming several relay nodes exist between the source node and destination node, we consider the systems use not a single relaying protocol but both decode-and-forward and amplify-and-forward protocols randomly. We analyze the effect of each relying protocol for the overall system performance, and also consider the performance depending on the relay location. Differential modulation scheme which demodulates signal without channel state information is adopted where it can be applicable fast varying channel such as railway environments.

We analyze the performance of multistage cooperation in decode-and-forward relay networks where the transmission between source and destination takes place in $T{\geq}2$ equal duration and orthogonal time phases with the help of relays. The source transmits only in the first time phase. All relays that can decode the source's transmission forward the source's message to the destination in the second time phase, using a space-time code. During subsequent time phases, the relays that have successfully decoded the source message using information from all previous transmitting relays, transmit the space-time coded symbols for the source's message. The non-decoding relays keep accumulating information and transmit in the later stages when they are able to decode. This process continues for T cooperation phases. We develop and analyze the outage probability of multistage cooperation protocol under orthogonal relaying. Through analytical results, we obtain the near-optimal placement strategy for relays that gives the best performance when compared with most other candidate relay location strategies of interest. For different relay network topologies, we also investigate an interesting tradeoff between an increased SNR and decreased spectral efficiency as the number of cooperation stages is increased. It is also shown that the largest multistage cooperation gain is obtained in the low and moderate SNR regime.

This paper investigates using small UAVs as communications relay nodes for expanding communications links and improving communications quality, primarily for a fleet of ground or navy vessels. An airborne relay in ground/maritime space can effectively connect to units operating over the horizon, beyond normal communication range, or under limited satellite communication environment. Even if the equipment development is mature for communications relay, where to locate UAVs for efficient relay is still a pending question. With this background, this paper will develop high-level deployment algorithms to optimize the location of UAVs for improving the connectivity of a wireless network among a fleet of ground or navy vessels.

Relay systems have recently gained attentions because of its capability of cell coverage extension and the power gain as the one of key technologies for 5G. Relays can be exploited for small-cell base stations and the autonomous network, where communication devices communicate with each other cooperatively. Therefore, the relay technology is expected to enable the low power and large capacity communication. In order to maximize the benefits of using a limited number of relays, the efficient relay selection method is required. Especially, when two nodes exchange their data with each other via relay, the relay selection can maximize the average data rate by the spatial location of the relay. For this purpose, the average data rate is analyzed first according to the relay selection. In this paper, we analyzed the average data rate when two nodes exchange their data via dual-hop decode and forward relaying considering the interference by the concurrent transmission under Nakagami-m fading channel. The correctness of the analysis is verified by the Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that the concurrent transmission is superior to the non-concurrent transmission in the high required data rate region rather than in the low required data rate region.

This paper describes the fault location calculation using neuro-fuzzy systems in combined transmission lines with underground power cables. Neuro-fuzzy systems used in this paper are composed of two parts for fault section and fault location. First, neuro-fuzzy system discriminates the fault section between overhead and underground with normalized detail coefficient obtained by wavelet transform. Normalized detail coefficients of voltage and current in half cycle information are used for the inputs of neuro-fuzzy system. As the result of neuro-fuzzy system for fault section, impedance of selected fault section is calculated and it is used as the inputs of the neuro-fuzzy systems for fault location. Neuro-fuzzy systems for fault location also consist of two parts. One calculates the fault location of overhead, and the other does for underground. Fault section is completely classified and neuro-fuzzy system for fault location calculates the distance from the relaying point. Neuro-fuzzy systems proposed in this paper shows the excellent results of fault section and fault location.

High impedance fault(HIF) is defined as a fault that the general overcurrent relay can not detect or interrupt. Especially when HIF occurs in residential areas, energized high voltage conductor results in fire hazard, equipment damage or personal threat. This paper proposes a fault location estimation algorithm for high impedance fault using wavelet transform. The algorithm is based on the wavelet analysis of the fault voltage and current signals. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on a typical 154kV korean transmission line system under various fault conditions. From the tests presented in this paper it can be concluded that a fault location estimation algorithm using wavelet transform can precisely calculate the fault point for HIF.

센서노드는 무선 센서네트워크를 통해서 감지한 정보를 싱크에게 전송한다. 최근 휴대 무선장비의 이용률 증가로 센서네트워크에서 데이터를 수집하는 싱크를 휴대 무선장비로 대체하여 이동성을 보장하는 연구가 활발히 진행된다. 즉, 싱크가 이동성을 가짐으로써 센서노드가 감지한 정보를 전달하는 방법이 중요한 문제로 부각되고 있다. 따라서 모바일 싱크의 위치를 효율적으로 알리고, 다중 소스노드에서 다중 싱크로 정보를 전달하는 것이 필요하다. 특히, 고정된 싱크에서 사용하던 데이터 전송경로는 모바일 싱크 환경에서 더 이상 효율적이지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 소스노드의 위치정보를 제공하기 위한 서버로서 8방향 앵커시스템(Eight-Direction Anchor system: EDA)을 제안한다. EDA는 센서네트워크의 가장자리에 위치한 센서노드의 편중된 에너지 소모를 막고, 전체 센서노드를 균형적으로 사용함으로써 균등한 에너지 소모를 보장한다. 또한, 모바일 싱크가 소스노드로부터 데이터를 연속적으로 받기위해서 위치기반 최단거리 전송(Location-based Shortest Relay: LSR) 프로토콜을 제안한다. LSR은 소스노드에서 싱크로의 우회하는 경로를 막고, 최소 지연경로를 통하여 연속적인 데이터 전송을 보장한다. 실험결과를 통해서 제안 프로토콜은 효율적인 위치서비스의 제공뿐만 아니라, 다중 소스와 다중 모바일 싱크 환경에서 평균 데이터 전송 비용절감 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 보인다.

u-safety service system inter-works with the diverse operation agencies, through CCTV network, such as the emergency call terminal with built-in GPS, the mobile communication network, u-safety service provider, relay system and CCTV control center. In the case of the emergency call, this service searches the location of caller in real time, and then continues to search the location of caller through the control of CCTV in the searched place, and can provide the several agencies like guardian, police office, fire station, hospitals, relief organizations and municipalities, with the diverse information necessary for the secure rescue through SMS and wired network. In this paper, a new protocol and specification for u-safety service relay system is designed and implemented. The effectiveness of presented protocol is verified by computer simulation. The designed protocol of u-safety service is applied to real 3GPP and 3GPP2 mobile communication networks to verify its performance.

This paper analyses BER (Bit Error Rate) performance of 2-hop wireless communications networks with hybrid decode-and-forward (HDF) relays. The conventional HDF method is usually based on the receive signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the relay to decide whether to forward the decoded data in order to obviate the erroneous detection at the relay. In contrast, we propose a new solution of using log-likelihood ratio (LLR) as an efficient alternative to SNR. The approximate BER expressions of different HDF schemes are also derived and verified by Monte-Carlo simulations. In addition, we compute the optimum thresholds for HDF schemes. A variety of numerical results demonstrate that the new LLR-based HDF significantly outperforms the SNR-based HDF for any threshold level and relay location under flat Rayleigh fading channel plus AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise).
