The non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique offers throughput improvement to meet the demands of the future generation of wireless communication networks. The objective of this work is to further improve the throughput by including an underlay cognitive radio network with an existing multi-carrier NOMA network, using cooperative communication. The throughput is maximized by optimal resource allocation, namely, power allocation, subcarrier assignment, relay selection, user pairing, and subcarrier pairing. Optimal power allocation to the primary and secondary users is accomplished in a way that target rate constraints of the primary users are not affected. The throughput maximization is a combinatorial optimization problem, and the computational complexity increases as the number of users and/or subcarriers in the network increases. To this end, to reduce the computational complexity, a dynamic network resource allocation algorithm is proposed for combinatorial optimization. The simulation results show that the proposed network improves the throughput.

릴레이를 이용한 다중 홉 시스템은 기존의 단일 홉 시스템과 달리 주어진 전체 리소스 영역의 일부를 릴레이 통신에 할당하게 되어 효율적인 자원할당 알고리즘을 도입하지 않으면, 실제 사용이 가능한 리소스의 손실을 초래하게 된다. 또한, 릴레이 기반 셀룰러 시스템에서 생기는 인접 셀 간섭으로 인해 기지국과 단말기 또는 릴레이와 단말기 사이의 높은 링크 성능을 보장하지 못하는 경우가 발생해 리소스 효율이 급격히 떨어질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) LTE (Long Term Evolution)-Advanced 시스템의 하향링크 릴레이 협력 네트워크에서의 효율적인 자원할당 기법을 제안한다. 릴레이 협력 네트워크에서 각각의 통신 링크마다 고정 리소스 영역을 갖는 기존의 기법과는 달리, 제안된 자원할당 알고리즘은 각 통신 링크 간의 채널 상태 및 전송 가능 용량 등을 고려하여 각 리소스 블록 단위 별로 적응적으로 자원을 할당하는 기법이다. 또한 셀 또는 단말의 추가적인 전송률 증대를 위해 특정 통신 링크가 할당된 리소스 영역에 다른 통신 링크의 리소스를 중복하여 자원을 재사용하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 리소스 중복 할당 방식은 리소스 중복으로 인한 추가적인 간섭을 미리 고려하여 동적으로 자원을 할당하는 방식으로 단말기에서 간섭 제거 등의 추가적인 절차가 불필요하다.

In this paper, we propose a block-based selective orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) decode-and-forward relaying scheme for 4G mobile communication systems. In the scheme, an OFDM symbol is divided into blocks and one relay is selected for each block. Theoretical outage performance and error performance are analyzed and evaluated. A unified outage expression is given for our scheme and the other two schemes and the lower bound of the bit error rate of the three schemes is also obtained. The effect of the coherence bandwidth on the proposed scheme is also investigated. Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to validate our analysis. The scheme can obtain a good tradeoff between complexity and performance and can be used in future 4G mobile communication systems.

In recent days, cooperative diversity and communication security become important research issues for wireless communications. In this paper, to achieve low probability of interception (LPI) and high throughput in the cooperative single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) system, a new physical layer transmission scheme is proposed, where a new encryption algorithm is applied and adaptive modulation is further considered based on channel state information (CSI). By doing so, neither relay node nor eavesdropper can intercept the information signals transmitted from user terminal (UT). Simulation results show above new physical layer transmission scheme brings in high transmission safety and secrecy rate. Furthermore, by applying adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) technique according to CSI, transmission throughput can be increased significantly. Additionally, low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) characteristic can still be remained due to the uniform distribution of random coefficients used for encryption algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a cooperative hybrid spectrum sharing protocol by jointly considering interweave (opportunistic) and underlay schemes. In the proposed protocol, secondary users can access the licensed spectrum along with the primary system. Our network scenario comprises a single primary transmitter-receiver (PTx-PRx) pair and a group of M secondary transmitter-receiver (STx-SRx) pairs within the transmission range of the primary system. Secondary transmitters are divided into two groups: active and inactive. A secondary transmitter that gets an opportunity to access the secondary spectrum is called "active". One of the idle or inactive secondary transmitters that achieves the primary request target rate $R_{PT}$ will be selected as a best decode-and-forward (DF) relay (Re) to forward the primary information when the data rate of the direct link between PTx and PRx falls below $R_{PT}$. We investigate the ergodic capacity and outage probability of the primary system with cooperative relaying and outage probability of the secondary system. Our theoretical and simulation results show that both the primary and secondary systems are able to achieve performance improvement in terms of outage probability. It is also shown that ergodic capacity and outage probability improve when the active secondary transmitter is located farther away from the PRx.

Deformation measurement of large scale structures, such as the ground beds of high-rise buildings, tunnels, bridge, and railways, are important for insuring service quality and safety. The pose-relay videometrics method and displacement-relay videometrics method have already presented to measure the pose of non-intervisible objects and vertical subsidence of unstable areas, respectively. Both methods combine the cameras and cooperative markers to form the camera series networks. Based on these two networks, we propose two novel videometrics methods with closed-loop camera series network for deformation measurement of large scale structures. The closed-loop camera series network offers "closed-loop constraints" for the camera series network: the deformation of the reference points observed by different measurement stations is identical. The closed-loop constraints improve the measurement accuracy using camera series network. Furthermore, multiple closed-loops and the flexible combination of camera series network are introduced to facilitate more complex deformation measurement tasks. Simulated results show that the closed-loop constraints can enhance the measurement accuracy of camera series network effectively.

We investigate the channel state information (CSI) in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) cooperative networks that employ the amplify-and-forward transmission scheme. Least squares and expectation conditional maximization have been proposed in the system. However, neither of these two approaches takes advantage of channel sparsity, and they cause estimation performance loss. Unlike linear channel estimation methods, several compressed channel estimation methods are proposed in this study to exploit the sparsity of the MIMO cooperative channels based on the theory of compressed sensing. First, the channel estimation problem is formulated as a compressed sensing problem by using sparse decomposition theory. Second, the lower bound is derived for the estimation, and the MIMO relay channel is reconstructed via compressive sampling matching pursuit algorithms. Finally, based on this model, we propose a novel algorithm so called sparsity adaptive expectation maximization (SAEM) by using Kalman filter and expectation maximization algorithm so that it can exploit channel sparsity alternatively and also track the true support set of time-varying channel. Kalman filter is used to provide soft information of transmitted signals to the EM-based algorithm. Various numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed sparse channel estimation technique outperforms the previous estimation schemes.

본 논문에서 우리는 다수의 사용자가 존재하는 협력통신 환경에서 있어서 적용 가능한 새로운 간섭제거 기법을 제안하고 그 성능을 분석하였다. Source, Destination, Relay로 이루어진 협력통신시스템에서, 각 환경을 구성하는 ad-hoc 그룹은 인접한 그룹에서 전달된 다른 간섭 데이터로 인해 본래 데이터의 급격한 품질저하가 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문은 인접 ad-hoc 그룹간의 간섭효과를 줄이기 위해 제로 포싱과 최소 평균 자승 오차 해법을 이용해 간섭의 크기를 저하시킨다. 이후, 순차적 간섭 제거 기법을 접목해 최종 데이터를 산출해내는 간접제거 시스템을 제안하고 제안한 시스템에 대한 성능을 모의실험을 통해 나타내었다. 본 논문 결과를 이용하여 다양한 ad-hoc 그룹 환경에서 신호의 독립성을 보장받는 협력통신시스템의 구현을 기대한다.

This article proposes a spectrum sharing method which can avoid the mutual interference in both primary and secondary systems. The two systems make them a priority to use two single-dimension orthogonal signals, the real and imaginary pulse amplitude modulation signals, if the primary system is not in outage with this use. A secondary transmitter is selected to be the primary relay and the active secondary source to perform this. This allows a simultaneous spectrum access without any mutual interference. Otherwise, the primary system attempts to use a full two-dimensional signal, the quadrature amplitude modulation signal. If there is no outage with respect to this use, the secondary spectrum access is not allowed. When both of the previous attempts fail, the secondary system is allowed to freely use the spectrum two whole time slots. The analysis and simulation are provided to analyze the outage performance and they validate the considerable improvement of the proposed method as compared to the conventional one.
