Joint Relay and Antenna Selection in MIMO PLNC Inter-vehicular Communication Systems over Cascaded Fading Channels

We investigate the joint relay and antenna selection performance in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication system employing physical layer network coding (PLNC) with amplify-and-forward (AF) scheme at the relay antenna. Analytic results are derived under the cascaded Nakagami-m fading channel model assumption, which covers cascaded Rayleigh and conventional cellular channel models as well. We evaluate the performance of the system in terms of joint outage probability of sources and derive closed-form expressions for lower and upper bounds while an exact expression is found as a single integral form. Besides, the asymptotic diversity order is analyzed and quantified as a function of number of relays and antennas installed on the source and relay vehicles, and channel parameters. Finally, we verify the analytic derivations by computer simulations. Our results show that the outage probability performance decreases with the increasing cascading degrees of the channels but joint relay and antenna selection enhances the performance of the system superbly with the increasing number of relays and antennas. Also it is shown throughout all the simulation results, the lower bound for the joint outage probability seems to consistently be well tight for large SNR. Therefore it can be used for practical design of inter-vehicular communication systems which contain multiple relays and antennas.

Differential Modulation and Relay Selection With Detect-and-Forward Cooperative Relaying

In this paper, we consider the bit error rate (BER) performance analysis of a cooperative relay communication system with differential modulation and selective relaying, where the best relay is selected to forward the signals from the source to the destination. The advantage of differential modulation is that it allows noncoherent detection without requiring the full channel-state information (CSI), as obtaining CSI in a cooperative communication system at each node is a complicated and costly task. We consider a simple detect-and-forward (DetF) relay system and take into account the effect of imperfect detection at the relay. We derive the average bit error probability of the DetF relay scheme by using the closed-form relay link signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Based on the analysis, we show that the proposed system with $N$ relay nodes and the simple relay selection can achieve a total diversity gain of $N + 1$. The BER performance of the system is also evaluated by simulation. It is shown that the analysis matches well with the simulation results.

基于自私行为分析的超密集D2D中继选择算法

在超密集D2D通信中,目前的中继选择方案主要假定中继设备具有主动意愿参与数据转发,但部分理性中继设备出于自身考虑,可能会存在时延或拒绝转发的自私行为,进而影响用户体验效果。从中继设备自私行为角度出发,提出了D2D通信中自私中继设备识别方法,进而提出了基于自私行为分析的超密集D2D中继选择算法。首先,定义了联合兴趣度、转发历史比率和中继物理状态3个中继识别属性因子,并通过三角模糊函数计算三者的权重,从而对具有自私行为的中继设备完成识别。其次,基于理想解相似性偏好排序方法实现了中继设备的最终选择方案。仿真结果表明,所提算法能更有效地识别D2D通信中的自私中继设备,与其他中继选择算法相比,在D2D通信转发成功率、系统平均吞吐量和平均时延等方面均取得了显著进步。

A hybrid relay control mechanism for ribbon topology in low‐voltage power line communication networks

The communication reliability and distance of the low‐voltage power line communication system are seriously affected by the channel interference and the time variant load impedance. Therefore, how to control the relay nodes to reduce the communication delay and improve the communication reliability is mainly considered in the design. A novel hybrid relay control mechanism (HRCM) that includes the static relay pre‐configuration and the dynamic relay selection is designed for the ribbon topology in the low‐voltage power line communication networks. In the ribbon topology, the initial configuration for the communication link is realized through the pre‐configure relay nodes, which guarantees that the concentrator can communicate with the furthest terminal node. During the normal operations, the dynamic relay node is selected according to the sequence number of the uplink or downlink data frame and the data discard strategy. With the relay node dynamical selected mechanism, the frame repeated transmission can be avoided and the communication delay is reduced. The actual test results show that the hybrid relay control mechanism can effectively extend the communication distance, improve the communication real‐time and the reliability of the low‐voltage power line communication.

Relaying Energy Allocation Scheme Based on Multi-User SWIPT Relaying System

This paper investigates the relay energy allocation scheme based on the time switching (TS) operation strategy in multi-user simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) relaying system, where the relay is energy-constrained and utilizes the energy harvested in the energy harvesting mode to amplify and forward the information of the users. In the multi-user relaying system, the distances of the receivers of the users to the relay may be different. Thus, the total information rate maximization model is proposed and the corresponding energy allocation scheme is derived. After comparing the information rates of users, it is found that the information rates of users who are far from the relay are significantly lower than those of users who are close to the relay, i.e., “far-near” phenomenon. For the “far-near” problem, we propose the common information rate maximization model, and derive the corresponding energy allocation scheme. In this model, the information rates of all users are equal, which ensures the fairness of the information rate in multi-user relaying communication system. The simulation results show that the energy allocation scheme based on the common information rate maximization model can effectively solve the “far-near” problem in multi-user relaying communication system.

A reliable relay selection scheme for SSK modulation in cooperative communication systems

Space shift keying (SSK) modulation is a scheme in which the indices of active transmit antennas play an essential role in carrying information bits. In SSK modulation, the communication channel acts as modulating unit. Therefore, using the conventional relay selection schemes based on channel coefficients are impossible in cooperative systems using SSK modulation. In this paper, we propose a novel relay selection scheme that is applicable in cooperative systems using SSK modulation. The proposed scheme is based on calculating and measuring the Euclidean distances between received signal and all active or inactive channel coefficients. The proposed relay selection scheme is applied for a cooperative communication system with multiple relay nodes and a direct link between source and destination. The analytical expressions are derived to calculate the average bit error rate over Rayleigh fading channels. The analytical and simulation results show that this relay selection scheme can provide a full cooperative diversity order, for SSK modulation. In addition, we show that this scheme can be used at destination as a signal selection method, to select the best received signal from different paths. The analytical results are validated using Monte Carlo simulation studies.
