Performance analysis of two‐way wireless‐powered Amplify‐and‐Forward relaying in the presence of co‐channel interference

In this paper, we investigate the performance assessment of a bidirectional relaying system using energy harvesting techniques. We assume independent and nonidentically distributed (i.n.i.d.) Nakagami‐m fading channels where the amplify‐and‐forward relay is subject to co‐channel interference (CCI) due to transmissions of other transmitters. Two different scenarios, namely, scenario I and scenario II are evaluated. In scenario I, both end‐sources provide the required energy for the relay, whereas the relay also harvests energy from the co‐channel interferes. Then, in the first phase of cooperation, both end‐sources send the information to the relay, and after amplifying the received signal, relay transfers information to the appropriate destination in the second time‐slot. In the scenario II, both end‐sources harvest energy from the relay. After that, the information cooperative transmission is done similar to the first scenario. For both considered scenarios, tight closed‐form expressions of outage probability, symbol error probability, ergodic capacity, and throughput are obtained at arbitrary signal‐to‐noise‐ratios (SNRs). To get more insights, simplified high SNR results for both scenarios are also deduced where the diversity orders are obtained. Monte Carlo simulation results are presented to validate the correctness of our proposed analysis. Our results explicitly demonstrate that the first scenario has a better performance than the second one in the medium and high SNR region, whereas the second scenario outperforms the first one in the low SNR regime.

It is well known that the cooperation among nodes can improve the performance of a wireless network. In this letter we analyze the outage probability behaviour of a relay network in Nakagami-m fading channels. A closed-form solution for the outage probability is derived. When m=1, the results are applicable for Rayleigh fading. Computer simulations confirm the presented mathematical analysis     

Exploiting cooperative diversity with non-orthogonal multiple access over slow fading channel

Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has attracted a significant attention to the research community as a potential candidate for 5G or future radio access. This article presents a NOMA-based cooperative network where a transmitter considered as a base station communicates simultaneously with two users treating as a far user and a near user via the help of a half-duplex decode-and-forward relay. We investigate the outage probability and the outage capacity of the proposed network over independent Rayleigh slow fading channels. Closed-form expressions of the outage probabilities are derived for both users. Approximate outage capacity of the users are also investigated at high signal to noise ratio regime. It has been shown that the proposed cooperative NOMA can achieve superior performance compared to the non-cooperative NOMA in terms of outage probability. The tightness between the simulation and theoretical results confirms the efficiency of the proposed protocol.     

Joint Impact of Co-Channel Interference and Channel Estimation Error on Outage Performance of Cellular Two-Way Relay Networks

This paper investigates the joint impact of co-channel interference and channel estimation error (CEE) on the performance of cellular multiuser two-way relay network, wherein a multi-antenna base station communicates with one of the several single-antenna mobile stations via a single-antenna relay. Specifically, we derive a tight lower bound closed-form expression for the overall outage probability under Rayleigh fading channels. We also evaluate an asymptotic outage expression in the high signal-to-noise ratio regime. Based on the asymptotic analysis, we study some practical cases of interest under both interference-limited and interference-free scenarios with CEE, from which various insights into the system diversity order are presented. Numerical and simulation results corroborate our theoretical findings.     

Fading relay channels: performance limits and space-time signal design

Cooperative diversity is a transmission technique, where multiple terminals pool their resources to form a virtual antenna array that realizes spatial diversity gain in a distributed fashion. In this paper, we examine the basic building block of cooperative diversity systems, a simple fading relay channel where the source, destination, and relay terminals are each equipped with single antenna transceivers. We consider three different time-division multiple-access-based cooperative protocols that vary the degree of broadcasting and receive collision. The relay terminal operates in either the amplify-and-forward (AF) or decode-and-forward (DF) modes. For each protocol, we study the ergodic and outage capacity behavior (assuming Gaussian code books) under the AF and DF modes of relaying. We analyze the spatial diversity performance of the various protocols and find that full spatial diversity (second-order in this case) is achieved by certain protocols provided that appropriate power control is employed. Our analysis unifies previous results reported in the literature and establishes the superiority (both from a capacity, as well as a diversity point-of-view) of a new protocol proposed in this paper. The second part of the paper is devoted to (distributed) space-time code design for fading relay channels operating in the AF mode. We show that the corresponding code design criteria consist of the traditional rank and determinant criteria for the case of colocated antennas, as well as appropriate power control rules. Consequently space-time codes designed for the case of colocated multiantenna channels can be used to realize cooperative diversity provided that appropriate power control is employed.

Practical systems may employ relay channels that experience statistically different signal fading. The performance of decode-and-forward relaying in channels with dissimilar fading parameters is investigated. In particular, a closed-form expression for the outage probability of a system with an arbitrary number of relays is derived

Three-phase two-way relaying with imperfect channel estimation and asymmetric traffic requirements: performance analysis and optimization

We study the effect of imperfect channel estimation (ICE) and asymmetric traffic requirements (ATRs) on the performance of bidirectional relaying with a direct link by employing three-phase analog network coding under Nakagami-m fading. Under such a realistic scenario, a tight lower bound on the overall outage probability is derived in closed-form, while a useful expression is presented for the asymptotically low outage regime. We also deduce the tight closed-form expression for the ergodic sum-rate. Furthermore, we formulate and solve analytically three optimization problems viz., relay power allocation under fixed location of the relay, relay position with fixed relay power allocation, and joint optimization of relay power allocation and location. Our results reveal that for given ICE, the optimal relay location offers significant system performance enhancement under ATRs, whilst the optimal relay power allocation has a more noticeable impact under symmetric traffic. It is also shown that the joint optimization of relay power allocation and location can further enhance the system performance, regardless of ATRs and ICE. Above all, based on the direct link quality, we show that the considered scheme outperforms its two-phase counterpart, even in the low signal-to-noise ratio regime.

     

Exact Outage Probability of Two-Way Decode-and-Forward Scheme with Opportunistic Relay Selection Under Physical Layer Security

The combination of cooperative communication and physical layer security is an effective approach to overcome the disadvantages of the fading environment as well as to increase the security capacity of the wireless network. In this paper, we propose a two-way decode-and-forward scheme with a relay selection method. In the proposed protocol, two source nodes communicate with each other with the help of intermediate relays under the eavesdropping of another wireless node, called the eavesdropper node. The best relay, which is chosen by the max–min strategy, uses digital network coding to enhance secure communication and spectrum use efficiency. The system performance is analyzed and evaluated in terms of the exact closed-form outage probability over Rayleigh fading channels. The Monte-Carlo simulation results are presented to verify the theoretical analysis. Finally, the proposed protocol is compared with the two-way protocol, which does not use digital network coding.     

Nakagami 信道下一种改进的DAF模型中断概率的研究

This paper proposes a modified decode and forward (DAF) protocol with a three node model, which contains two users and one destination. Each user can be either the source or the relay in different frames. We analyze the four cooperative cases in the first frame and run simulations to obtain the optimal power allocation coefficients in the second frame. The closed form expression of outage probability is derived over Nakagami m fading channels. Furthermore, we show that the proposed model has better performance than the non cooperation system and traditional DAF strategy based on the derived outage probability.     

On the performance of cooperative cognitive networks with proactive relay selection

This paper provides a general outage analysis framework for cooperative cognitive networks with proactive relay selection over non-identical Rayleigh fading channels and under both maximum transmit power and interference power constraints. We firstly propose an exact closed-form outage probability expression, which is then exploited for determining the diversity order and coding gain for proactive relay selection scenarios as well as deriving system performance limits at either large maximum transmit power or large maximum interference power. The derived performance metrics bring several insights into system performance behavior without the need of time-consuming Monte-Carlo simulations. Various results confirm the validity of the proposed derivations and show that cooperative cognitive networks with proactive relay selection incur performance saturation and their performance depends considerably on the number of involved relays. In addition, cooperative cognitive networks are significantly better than dual-hop counterparts without any cost of system resources.

Simulation results demonstrate the theoretical solutions.     

Opportunistic Decode-and-forward Cooperation in Nakagami-m Fading Channels with Relay Selection

In this paper, the outage performance of opportunistic decode-and-forward cooperation is analyzed in independent but not necessarily identical Nakagami-m fading channels, where the impacts of relay selection criterion, relay number, channel fading severity parameter and the availability of the direct link are studied comprehensively. The closed-form expressions of outage probability in high signal-to-noise ratio region and the diversity order are derived for both asymmetric and symmetric scenarios. The analysis shows that the achievable diversity order is related to the channel fading severity parameter m, the number of relays K, the specific relay selection criterion N and the availability of the direct link. Take symmetric scenario for instance, the diversity order is m (K ? N +?1) if the direct link blocks, otherwise the diversity order becomes m (K ? N +?2). For asymmetric scenario, the diversity order depends on the particular value of fading severity parameter m in each link, and the expression is also derived. Simulation results validate the analysis of outage probability and diversity order.

An opportunistic cooperation scheme and its BER analysis

The cooperative communication technology proposed in recent years enables network nodes to share their antennas to achieve diversity gain. In this paper, an efficient variation scheme on opportunistic cooperation is proposed by using an outage criterion, in which the cooperation mode will be adopted only when the channel from source to relay does not occur outage event. We derive a closed-form BER (bit error rate) expression for the proposed scheme over Rayleigh fading channels, showing that the full diversity is achieved by the new scheme. Also, the BER performance of the known coded cooperation is presented for the purpose of comparison with our scheme. Numerical results illustrate the superiority of the proposed scheme over the coded cooperation in terms of BER performance. It is pointed out that the corresponding BER advantage of the proposed scheme comes at the expense of increasing system overhead since the new scheme needs some feedback from relay to both source and destination.     

Secrecy Trade-off at the Physical Layer over Mixed Fading Multicast Channels Employing Antenna Diversity

This paper deals with the secrecy performance analysis of a multicast network over mixed fading scenarios in which a cluster of passive eavesdroppers is trying to overhear the secret transmission. Our key contribution is to prevent this malicious attack of the illegitimate receivers. Rayleigh/ Rician mixed fading channels are considered to model alternately the multicast/ eavesdropper and eavesdropper/ multicast channels as such mixed fading scenarios are often encountered in cellular communication where only one link (either multicast or eavesdropper) undergo a line-of-sight propagation path. At first, we derive the probability density functions for the single-input-multiple-output multicast scenarios and then the secrecy analysis is carried out by obtaining closed-form expressions for the performance matrices such as the probability of non-zero secrecy multicast capacity, ergodic secrecy multicast capacity, and secure outage probability for multicasting. The derived expressions are beneficial to investigate how the antenna diversity can combat the detrimental impact of fading as well as the number of multicast users and eavesdroppers, and improve the secrecy level to the acceptable limit. Moreover, the best secure scenario in terms of the secrecy parameters is obtained when the multicast channels undergo Rician fading whereas the eavesdropper channels experience Rayleigh fading. Finally, the analytical expressions are justified via the Monte-Carlo simulations.
