This work investigates secure cluster-aided multi-hop randomize-and-forward networks. We present a hop-by-hop multi-hop transmission scheme with relay selection, which evaluates for each cluster the relays that can securely receive the message. We propose an analytical model to derive the secure connectivity probability (SCP) of the hop-by-hop transmission scheme. For comparison, we also analyze SCPs of traditional end-to-end transmission schemes with two relay-selection policies. We perform simulations, and our analytical results verify that the proposed hop-by-hop scheme is superior to end-to-end schemes, especially with a large number of hops or high eavesdropper channel quality. Numerical results also show that the proposed hop-by-hop scheme achieves near-optimal performance in terms of the SCP.

An adaptive power control scheme is proposed for the cognitive relay networks with joint overlay and underlay spectrum sharing model. The transmit power of the secondary user is adjusted adaptively according to the spectrum sensing results and the interference channel condition. The outage probability of the secondary user is compared by Monte - Carlo simulations between the fixed power control scheme and pure overlay or underlay spectrum sharing schemes. The results show that, by employing the adaptive power control strategy, the interference probability of the secondary user to the primary user is decreased by 70 % ~ 80 % under the same outage probability. Also, the outage probability of the secondary user is reduced by 1 ~ 2 orders of magnitude under the same interference probability. Thus, the performance of the spectrum sharing is improved effectively.

Destination-assisted jamming (DAJ) is usually used to protect confidential information against untrusted relays and eavesdroppers in wireless networks. In this paper, a DAJ-based untrusted relay network with multiple antennas installed is presented. To increase the secrecy, a joint optimization of beamforming and power allocation at the source and destination is studied. A matched-filter precoder is introduced to maximize the cooperative jamming signal by directing cooperative jamming signals toward untrusted relays. Then, based on generalized singular-value decomposition (GSVD), a novel transmitted precoder for confidential signals is devised to align the signal into the subspace corresponding to the confidential transmission channel. To decouple the precoder design and optimal power allocation, an iterative algorithm is proposed to jointly optimize the above parameters. Numerical results validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Compared with other schemes, the proposed scheme shows significant improvement in terms of security performance.

최근 모바일 스마트 기기의 급격한 보급과 확산으로 인해 모바일 스마트 기기 간의 멀티미디어 콘텐츠 공유 기술이 확산되고 있다. 이를 위해 계층적으로 구성된 이종 무선 네트워크 상에서 멀티미디어 스트리밍 중계 시 중계 기기와 다수의 멤버 기기들 간의 과도한 네트워크 자원 경쟁으로 인해 재생 화면 정지 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 중계 기기와 멤버 기기의 스트림 데이터 버퍼링을 제어함으로써 과도한 네트워크 점유를 방지하고 버퍼 고갈로 인한 재생 화면 정지 문제를 개선하는 스트리밍 중계 기법을 제안한다. 또한 제안한 중계 기법을 적용한 스트리밍 중계 엔진을 설계하고 구현한다. 제안한 중계 기법의 성능 평가를 위해 스트리밍 중계 시의 화면 정지 횟수와 정지 시간을 측정하여 기존의 중계 엔진과 비교한다. 성능 측정 결과, 본 논문에서 제안하는 미디어 버퍼 제어를 이용한 중계 엔진이 기존의 중계 엔진보다 더 적은 화면 정지 횟수와 정지 시간을 보였으며 이를 통해 멀티미디어 스트리밍 품질을 향상시킬 수 있다.

본 논문에서 증폭 후 전달 전송 기법을 사용하는 중계망의 채널 추정을 하는데 있어서 일어나는 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 방법으로 학습 계열(training sequence)을 이용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 현재의 고속 페이딩 채널 환경에서 기존 파일럿의 추정이 적절하지 않아 송신국(source)과 중계국(relay) 사이의 채널과 중계국(relay)과 수신국(destination) 사이의 채널을 결합하여 추정할 경우 많은 문제점이 초래되기에$^{[1{\sim}2]}$ 전송한 신호의 주파수 영역을 선택하여 얻은 정규(Gaussian) 분포에 대하여 최대 우도 함수의 평균을 내어 채널 추정량(estimator)을 유도해 낼 수 있는, 즉, 파일럿 대신에 하나의 OFDM 신호를 사용하여 모든 채널 충격 응답(CIR)을 추정할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 살펴보았다. 컴퓨터 모의실험으로 높은 SNR 영역에서 제안한 채널 추정기(estimator)의 성능이 [1]과 비교하여 약 1dB 정도 높음을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper studies relay selection and power allocation for amplify-and-forward (AF) based two-way relay networks (TWRN) with asymmetric traffic requirements (ATR). A joint relay selection and power allocation algorithm is proposed to decrease the outage probability of TWRN with ATR. In this algorithm, two sources exchange information with the help of the relay during two time slots. We first calculate the optimal power allocation parameters based on instantaneous channel state information (CSI), and then derive a tight lower bound of outage probability. Furthermore, we propose a simplified relay selection criterion, which can be easily calculated as harmonic mean of instantaneous channel gains, according to the outage probability expressions. Simulation results verified the theoretical analyses we presented. It is shown that the outage probability of our algorithm improves 3-4dB comparing with that of other existing algorithms, and the lower bound is tight comparing with actual value for the entire signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region.

In this paper, we investigate traffic scheduling for a delay-sensitive multi-hop relay network, and aim to minimize the priority-based end-to-end delay of different data packet via joint relay selection, subcarrier assignment, and power allocation. We first derive the priority-based end-to-end delay based on queueing theory, and then propose a two-step method to decompose the original optimization problem into two sub-problems. For the joint subcarrier assignment and power control problem, we utilize an efficient particle swarm optimization method to solve it. For the relay selection problem, we prove its convexity and use the standard Lagrange method to deal with it. The joint relay selection, subcarriers assignment and transmission power allocation problem for each hop can also be solved by an exhaustive search over a finite set defined by the relay sensor set and available subcarrier set. Simulation results show that both the proposed routing scheme and the resource allocation scheme can reduce the average end-to-end delay.

In the interweave cognitive networks, the interference from the primary user degrades the performance of the cognitive user transmissions. In this paper, we propose an adaptive cooperation scheme in the interweave cognitive networks to improve the performance of the cognitive user transmissions. In the proposed scheme for the bidirectional communication of two end-source cognitive users, the bidirectional communication is completed through the non-relay direct transmission, the one-way relaying cooperation transmission, and the two-way relaying cooperation transmission depending on the limited feedback from the end-sources. For the performance analysis of the proposed scheme, we derive the outage probability and the finite-SNR diversity multiplexing tradeoff (f-DMT) in a closed form, considering the imperfect spectrum sensing, the interference from the primary user, and the power allocation between the relay and the end-sources. The results show that compared with the direct transmissions (DT), the pure one-way relaying transmissions (POWRT), and the pure two-way relaying transmissions (PTWRT), the proposed scheme has better outage performance. In terms of the f-DMT, the proposed scheme outperforms the full cooperation transmissions of the POWRT and PTWRT.

This paper suggests an efficient and comprehensive algorithm of the protection ratio derivation and illustrates some calculated results applicable to the initial planning of frequency coordination in the fixed wireless access networks. The net filter discrimination associated with Tx spectrum mask and overall Rx filter characteristic has been also examined to show the effect of the adjacent channel interference. The calculations for co-channel and adjacent channel protection ratios are performed for the current microwave frequency band of 6.7 GHz including Tx spectrum mask and Rx filter response. According to results, fade margin and co-channel protection ratio reveal 41.4 and 75.2 dB, respectively, for 64-QAM and 60 km at BER $10^{-6}$. It is shown that the net filter discrimination with 40 MHz channel bandwidth provides 28.9 dB at the first adjacent channel, which yields 46.3 dB of adjacent channel protection ratio. In addition, the protection ratio of 38 GHz radio relay system is also reviewed for millimeter wave band applications. The proposed method gives some advantages of an easy and systematic extension for protection ratio calculation and is also applied to frequency coordination in fixed millimeter wave networks.

안정적인 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크 서비스가 운용되기 위해서는 센서 네트워크 내에서 신뢰성이 확보되어야 하며, 이중에서도 전송 신뢰성의 확보는 다른 어떤 것보다 시급하다. 특히 무선 센서 네트워크의 활용이라는 측면을 보았을 때 전송 신뢰성은 단순히 안정적인 전송만을 생각하기 보다는 성능 향상이라는 부분도 생각해야 한다. 이를 위해서 본 논문에서는 전송 신뢰성 확보와 성능 개선이라는 두가지 모두를 확보 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 무선 환경 내에서의 자기 전달 신호를 활용하여 ACK를 대신하고 이를 바탕으로 다음 데이터의 전송을 시작하도록 한다. 성능 개선을 확인하기 위해서 제안 방법의 수학적 분석과 시뮬레이션을 통한 검증을 실시한다.
