Beamforming based decode-and-forward cooperation via backward synchronization

In this paper,a beamforming (BF) based cooperation scheme with decode-and-forward (DF) protocol is proposed and its performance analysis is provided.Firstly,to solve the issue of carrier synchronization in distributed networks,a backward synchronization (B-Sync) method is introduced,where participating relays synchronize to the reference carrier broadcast by the destination and make signals superimposed coherently at the destination without any phase feedback.Then,based on B-sync,a cooperation scheme with DF protocol is proposed to carry out BF forwarding among relays.The outage probability of this scheme is derived and analyzed,which shows that the full diversity order can be achieved by the proposed scheme.Furthermore,symbol error probability (SEP) analysis is presented to evaluate the practical performance.Simulation results validate the analysis,and show that the proposed scheme outperforms other existing ones in terms of outage probability and SEP.

Fair relay selection in decode-and-forward cooperation based on outage priority

The opportunistic cooperation schemes,where only the "best" relay is selected to forward the message,have been widely investigated recently for their good performance in terms of outage probability.However,the unfair selections of relays may cause unbalance power consumptions among relays,which reduces the lifetime of energy constrained networks.In this paper,we introduce a novel concept of outage priority based fairness(OPF),aiming at improving the selection fairness among relays appropriately without outage performance deterioration.Then,a cooperation scheme is proposed to meet this concept,and corresponding theoretical analysis is also provided.Afterward,based on OPF,the achievable upper bound of the fairness is derived,and an optimal cross-layer designed scheme is also provided to achieve the bound.Numerical simulations are carried out finally,which not only validate the theoretical analysis,but also show that taking advantages of the proposed schemes,the fairness among all relays,as well as the network lifetime,can be greatly improved without any loss of outage performance,especially in high SNR regime.

MIMO two-way relay channel with superposition coding and imperfect channel estimation

This paper deals with the superposition coding (SPC) scheme in multiple-input multiple-output two-way relay channels subject to imperfect channel estimation. In this scenario, two multiple antenna terminals, which are unable to communicate directly, exchange information with each other via a multiple antenna relay. We determine the impact of the channel estimation error degradation on the achievable rate region for two main SPC techniques: (a) SPC without channel state information (CSI) at the users, (b) SPC with an imperfect CSI at the users where a waterfilling power allocation is employed. We demonstrate that imperfect CSI significantly improves the achievable rate at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) while it becomes less critical at high SNRs. In addition, a SPC power allocation technique that incorporates the average channel statistics and does not require any instantaneous CSI is also investigated. We show how the available power is split between the two bi-directional (superimposed) data flows in order to maximize the system performance and to support fairness as well as to maximize the achievable sum-rate.
