联合网络编码和中继选择的协作传输方案及其性能分析

研究了Nakagami信道中联合网络编码和双向协作中继选择的中断与平均误码率的性能,基于3个时隙的网络编码方案提出了一种最小化较差用户误码率的协作中继选择策略。在Nakagami信道下,从双向通信的角度,通过理论分析得出其中断概率和平均误码率的解析式和渐近式,同时推导了无协作中继选择时网络编码的中断概率和平均误码率解析式。通过理论分析发现,当Nakagami信道衰落参数降低时,联合网络编码的协作中继选择方案相对于无协作中继选择时的性能增益将逐渐升高。数值仿真实验结果表明,所提策略的平均误码率性能要显著高于无协作中继选择时的网络编码性能。     

无线传感网两种中继选择策略的中断概率分析

无线传感网发射功率受限,采用中继通信的方式可以扩展通信覆盖区域,中继选择是其关键技术之一。不同的中继选择策略会对中断概率产生不同的影响,其一是选择候选集合中的所有节点作为中继节点,其二是选择候选节点中的信噪比最大的节点作为中继节点。为了比较这两种中继选择策略的性能,推算了两种策略下的中断概率闭合表达式,并进行数值分析。结果表明,在不考虑功耗平衡的前提下,策略二的性能优于策略一。

Error rate and outage of dual‐hop DF relay system with selection combining over Rice fading

Performance of dual‐hop decode‐and‐forward relay system with selection‐combining receiver is analyzed over Rice fading channels. The following closed‐form expressions of performance metrics are derived: moment generating function for selection‐combining receiver output signal‐to‐noise ratio, exact average bit error rate of noncoherent modulations, approximate average symbol error rate for coherent modulations, and outage probability. We also obtain simple asymptotic expressions for moment generating function, exact average bit error rate, average symbol error rate, and outage probability, which are useful to characterize the diversity order and the coding gain. The optimal power allocation analysis suggests that the optimal power allocation factor is independent of total signal‐to‐noise ratio and source‐to‐destination link fading parameters. The accuracy of the obtained analytical expressions are supported by computer simulation results.

Performance of new relay selection scheme for buffer-assisted multihop decode-and-forward networks

In this paper, a new relay selection scheme is proposed to reduce the end-to-end packet delivery delay for buffer-assisted multihop decode-and-forward cooperative networks. The proposed method selects a relay node having more packets in the associated buffer and relay's proximity to the destination node. Mathematical expressions for the outage probability and average packet delay in Rician fading are obtained by modeling the system as a Markov chain. The proposed relay selection scheme has less packet delay as compared to the max-link relay selection scheme with marginally higher outage probability. Thus, the proposed relay selection scheme is a good alternative to low latency wireless applications.

基于中断概率的协作通信中继选择与功率分配算法

研究了功率受限情况下多中继协作通信网络的中继选择和功率优化问题。在AF网络中,提出了一种低复杂度中继选择与功率分配算法,其目标是在总功率一定的条件下使系统的中断概率最小。本算法对源节点和所有潜在中继节点进行功率分配,结合当前信噪比选择最优的中继集合,通过最速下降法求出使系统中断概率最低的功率分配因子。该算法不需要知道大量瞬时信道信息、不需要系统在等功率条件下进行中继选择,只需求得中继节点排列矩阵便可根据当前信噪比自适应获得最优中继节点集合。仿真结果表明,在相同条件下,该算法明显优于不同中继节点集合下几种算法的中断性能,并且与传统的SAF及AAF算法相比,有效降低了中断概率,提升了系统性能和功率效率。     

Achievable rate for three-node discrete memoryless relay channel with generalized feedbacks

This paper studies the achievable rate for three-node discrete memoryless relay channel.Specifically in this mode,we explore two generalized feedbacks simultaneously:the source node actively collects feedback signals from the channel;and at the same time,the destination node actively transmits feedback signals to the relay node.These two feedback signals,which are called generalized feedback overheard from the channel that is likely to be noisy,induce that all the three nodes are in full duplex mode.The basic coding strategies of Cover and El Gamal are applied to the relay-source feedback transmission by the source forwarding the compressions of the channel output sequences at the relay node to the destination,and are also applied to the destination-relay feedback transmission to improve the decoding ability at the relay.Based on Cover and El Gamal coding,a new coding scheme adopting rate splitting and four-block Markov superposition encoding is proposed and the corresponding achievable rate is achieved.The proposed scheme is able to exploit two feedbacks simultaneously which can effectively eliminate underlying transmission bottlenecks for the channels.The derived achievable rate result generalizes several previously known results by including them as special cases.     

Outage performance of cognitive AF relay networks with direct link and heterogeneous non‐identical constraints

Although there have been many interesting works on outage performance analysis of cognitive AF relay networks, we have not found works taking into consideration all the following issues: multiple primary users (PUs), the existence of the direct link from secondary user (SU) source to SU destination, non‐identical, independent Rayleigh‐fading channels, non‐identical interference power limits of PUs, and non‐identical noise powers in signals. Additionally, in outage performance analysis for such networks, the correlation issue, which results from the channel gain of interference links from the SU nodes to the PU, requires elaborate treatments. Hence, analyzing outage performance of non‐identical‐parameter networks (where all channels are fully non‐identical Rayleigh‐fading channels, the PUs have different interference power limits, and received signals have different noise powers) from the beginning is highly complicated. To overcome this problem, we conduct the analysis in two steps. In the first step, expressions of both exact and asymptotic outage probability of identical‐parameter cognitive AF relay networks (where all channels are fully non‐identical Rayleigh‐fading channels but all other parameters are identical) are obtained. Then in the second step, we propose a method for transforming a network with all non‐identical parameters into a new identical‐parameter network, meanwhile guaranteeing that outage performance of the two networks before and after the transformation are the same. Hence, OP of the original non‐identical‐parameter network can be obtained indirectly by using the analysis results obtained in the first step. Our analysis results are validated through numerical simulations. The effects of the number of PUs and the diversity level of channel parameters (which means the range of the channel parameter values) are also inspected by simulations. The results show that taking these factors into consideration is of key importance in obtaining a more accurate estimation of outage performance of such networks.
