Power allocation for F/TDMA multiuser two-way relay networks

We consider a multiuser two-way relay network where multiple pairs of users exchange information with the assistance of a relay node, using orthogonal channels per pair. For a variety of two-way relaying mechanisms, such as decodeand- forward (DF), amplify-and-forward (AF) and compress-andforward (CF), we investigate the problem of optimally allocating relay?s power among the user pairs it assists such that an arbitrary weighted sum rate of all users is maximized, and solve the problem as one or a set of convex problems for each relaying scheme. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the optimum relay power allocation as well as the comparison among different two-way relaying schemes.     

Bandwidth allocation and distributed relay selection for multiple‐user and multiple‐relay cooperative systems using Stackelberg game

Cooperative communication is an ongoing research area which lies on the basic idea of transmission of information from the transmitter to the receiver with the assistance of a virtual array of relay nodes in between, which will eventually provide the spatial diversity. This paper deals with the resource allocation (bandwidth in this case) among multiple users (source‐ destination pairs) in a cooperative communication environment along with the relay selection when there are multiple relay nodes to assist the transmitting nodes to pass on their data signal to respective receivers. A multi‐user, multi‐relay system model is considered here on which Amplify‐and‐Forward relaying scheme is applied. The bandwidth allocation and relay selection are done based on the Stackelberg game according to which transmitting nodes are treated as purchasers and relaying nodes are treated as vendors. By this planned approach, the transmitting nodes can discover the relays at comparatively better positions and can purchase the optimal bandwidth from those helping relays. By this approach, the relays which are competing with each other can increase their own utilities by demanding the optimal prices and the multiple users which are competing with each other can maximize their own utilities by demanding the optimal bandwidths. Distributed relay selection scheme is applied here which does not require precise information of channel state information as opposed to Centralized scheme and it gives comparable results, too.     

A game theoretic learning solution for distributed relay selection on throughput optimization

In this paper, we study the problem of distributed relay selection in wireless networks using a game theoretic approach. Specifically, we consider a system model where one relay node can be shared by multiple source-destination pairs. Our objective is to find the relay selections of source nodes to optimize the total capacity. The relay selection problem is formulated as a congestion game with player-specific payoff functions and the existence of Nash equilibrium (NE) is demonstrated. Then we propose a stochastic learning automata (SLA) based distributed relay selection approach to obtain the NE without information exchange among source nodes. Simulation results show that the proposed distributed relay selection approach achieves satisfactory performance, when compared with other solutions.     

A coalitional game‐based relay load balancing and power allocation scheme in decode‐and‐forward cellular relay networks

In this paper, a game theoretic relay load balancing and power allocation scheme is proposed for downlink transmission in a decode‐and‐forward orthogonal frequency division multiple access‐based cellular relay network. A system with a base station communicating with multiple users via multiple relays is considered. The relays have limited power, which must be divided among the users they support. In traditional scheme, each relay simply divides its transmit power equally among all its users. Moreover, each user selects the relay with the highest channel gain. In this work, we do not apply the traditional relay scheme. It is because the users are distributed randomly, and by applying the traditional relay selection scheme, it may happen that some relays have more users connected to them than other relays, which results in having unbalanced load among the relays. In order to avoid performance degradation, achieve relay load balancing, and maximize the total data rate of the network, a game theoretic approach is proposed, which efficiently assigns the users to relays. The power of each relay is wisely distributed among users by the efficient power allocation scheme. Simulation results indicate that the proposed game‐based scheme can considerably improve the average sum‐spectral efficiency. Moreover, it shows that by applying the game, users who can connect to uncongested relays join them as opposed to connecting to congested relays. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Secrecy analysis of a cooperative NOMA network using an EH untrusted relay

In this paper, a down-link non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system with imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC) using Energy-Harvesting untrusted relays is investigated. These relaying nodes use in this study use a power-switching architecture to harvest energy from the sources signals and apply an amplify-and-forward protocol to forward the signals. In addition, transmit jamming or artificial noise, is generated by a source node to improve the security of the system and protect confidential source information from untrusted relays. Likewise, three relaying selection strategies are employed to examine the secrecy performance of the proposed system. In order to evaluate the performance evaluation of the proposed system, closed-form expressions of the Secrecy Outage Probability (SOP) are studied over Rayleigh fading channels and a Monte Carlo simulation is used to confirm the analytical results. Furthermore, we study the effects of various parameters, such as power allocation factors, relay node selection, the number of relays, energy harvesting efficiency and the location of relay nodes on the secure outage performances for two users of NOMA system and conventional orthogonal multiple access (OMA). These results show that NOMA offers the better security performance with multiple users.     

A closed-form sum-rate lower bound for amplify-and-forward multi-way relay networks

In this letter, we investigate the sum-rate performance of the multi-way relay network (MWRN) with amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying, where multiple users exchange information with the help of a relay node. We consider a full exchange scenario where each user has to decode messages form all the other users. We analyze the sum-rate lower and upper bounds of the AF MWRN, and derive a closed-form expression for the average sum-rate low bound when the number of users is sufficient large. Numerical results show that the derived bound is tight.

Performance analysis of two-way relay cooperation underlay cognitive radio networks based on WIPT

The two-way relay cooperation for underlay cognitive radio networks based on WIPT was presented,where secondary system adopted the two-way relay cooperative transmission.First,the relay adopted a power splitting protocol to harvest energy and to decode information transmitted by secondary users,then the relay forwarded information to two secondary users by using the harvested energy.Subsequently the exact expression of the outage probability,the ergodic capacity and energy efficiency of the secondary user system were derived.Finally,numerical simulation discusses the impact on the system performance with regard to secondary transmission power.The results reveal that the two-way relay cooperation effectively reduces the outage probability of data transmission.The capacity and energy efficiency of the system reaches optimal level when the power allocation coefficient is 0.5.     

Cooperative relay to improve diversity in cognitive radio networks

Recent studies demonstrated that dynamic spectrum access can improve spectrum utilization significantly by allowing secondary unlicensed users to dynamically share the spectrum that is not used by the primary licensed users. Cognitive radio was proposed to promote the spectrum utilization by opportunistically exploiting the existence of spectrum ?holes.? Meanwhile, cooperative relay technology is regarded widely as a key technology for increasing transmission diversity gain in various types of wireless networks, including cognitive radio networks. In this article, we first give a brief overview of the envisioned applications of: cooperative relay technology to CRNs, cooperative transmission of primary traffic by secondary users, cooperative transmission between secondary nodes to improve spatial diversity, and cooperative relay between secondary nodes to improve spectrum diversity. As the latter is a new direction, in this article we focus on this scenario and investigate a simple wireless network, where a spectrum-rich node is selected as the relay node to improve the performance between the source and the destination. With the introduction of cooperative relay, many unique problems should be considered, especially the issue for relay selection and spectrum allocation. To demonstrate the feasibility and performance of cooperative relay for cognitive radio, a new MAC protocol was proposed and implemented in a universal software radio peripheral-based testbed. Experimental results show that the throughput of the whole system is greatly increased by exploiting the benefit of cooperative relay.
