放大转发认知中继协作系统中继增益分配方案和性能分析

由于在传统的放大转发认知中继协作方案中,中继增益因子的分配只考虑了部分主、从系统参数,使得系统的能量效率较低、系统资源未被充分利用。为此,基于主系统传输速率约束和从系统终端接收信号平均误符号率最小准则,文章提出了一个新颖的中继增益最优化分配方案,获得了中继增益最优化精确解以及相应的上、下限封闭解析解;并基于获得的最优化中继增益,分析了系统的平均误符号率。结果表明,文章所获得的中继增益因子分配方案由于不仅考虑了从信源功率和从信源-中继链路增益,而且还综合考虑了中继-从信宿链路和主系统参数,可以实现系统资源的最优化配置,系统性能得到改善。

低复杂度放大转发多中继选择及功率分配

为了解决传统多中继选择协作通信网络算法复杂度高、资源利用率低等问题,本文提出了低复杂度放大转发多中继选择及其功率分配方案.它先利用修正的选择函数选择最优中继集合,再采用改进的低复杂度功率分配方案,对选择的中继集合功率分配.所提方案考虑到等功率分配时,分配功率应随中继数不同而改变,添加修正因子以充分利用功率资源.同时,所提功率分配避免了超越方程求解,极大降低了计算复杂度.仿真表明：当中断概率为10^-4时,所提方案相对于现有预选择单中继放大转发(pre-select Single relay Amplify-and-Forward,SAF)和全中继放大转发(All relay Amplify-and-Forward,AAF)方案,所需信噪比(Signal-to-Noise Ratio,SNR)分别降低约2.5 dB和5.3 dB.其性能与穷举法相当,二者所需SNR仅相差约0.01 dB.

Zero Forcing in General Two-Hop Relay Networks

In this paper, we investigate four different two-hop amplify and forward relay networks, which differ on the processing capabilities at the source, relay, and destination nodes. We derive new exact outage probability expressions where zero-forcing processing is performed at the following four areas: 1) source and relay; 2) relay; 3) relay and destination; and 4) destination nodes only. We show that, depending on the particular scheme, adding source, relay, and/or destination nodes can be either beneficial or detrimental to the outage probability. We confirm our results through comparison with Monte Carlo simulations.      

Delay Optimal Scheduling in a Two-Hop Vehicular Relay Network

We study a scheduling problem in a wireless network where vehicles are used as store-and-forward relays, a situation that might arise, for example, in practical rural communication networks. A fixed source node wants to transfer a file to a fixed destination node, located beyond its communication range. In the absence of any infrastructure connecting the two nodes, we consider the possibility of communication using vehicles passing by. Vehicles arrive at the source node at renewal instants and are known to travel towards the destination node with average speed v sampled from a given probability distribution. The source node communicates data packets (or fragments) of the file to the destination node using these vehicles as relays. We assume that the vehicles communicate with the source node and the destination node only, and hence, every packet communication involves two hops. In this setup, we study the source node’s sequential decision problem of transferring packets of the file to vehicles as they pass by, with the objective of minimizing delay in the network. We study both the finite file size case and the infinite file size case. In the finite file size case, we aim to minimize the expected file transfer delay, i.e., expected value of the maximum of the packet sojourn times. In the infinite file size case, we study the average packet delay minimization problem as well as the optimal tradeoff achievable between the average queueing delay at the source node buffer and the average transit delay in the relay vehicle.     

Improving Efficiency of Resource Usage in Two-Hop Full Duplex Relay Systems based on Resource Sharing and Interference Cancellation

This letter presents a new full duplex relay (FDR) system that features more efficient use of time resource and antennas. The proposed FDR system is constructed based on timeand antenna-sharing and elimination of underlying interference. The underlying interference caused by time- and antenna-sharing is eliminated using precoding. We propose a design for the precoder and decoder, and investigate the achievable rate of the proposed FDR system when the precoder and decoder are applied. Simulation results show improved achievable rate and BER performances with the proposed FDR system compared to half duplex and conventional full duplex relay systems.

Performance Improvement of Two-Hop Relay System Using Polarization Diversity

With growing demands for mobile data, providing reliable communication with high quality of service has become a critical issue. Wireless relaying has been recognized as an effective solution to enhance system coverage, data rate, reliability and energy efficiency by introducing additional network node-relay. However, complex wireless channel characteristics, such as fading, path loss, noise and interference limits the performance of such systems in a manner that it is dominated by the worst channel. That is why additional techniques are necessary to be implemented in order to improve the characteristics of this bottleneck link, and performance of relay system as whole. Multi-antenna relaying has emerged as a promising technique to overcome bottleneck effect in relay system and provide performance enhancements, but the small size of network nodes limits their use at wireless terminals. In this paper we propose the implementation of polarization diversity, where one compact dual-polarized antenna is used instead of two adequately separated antennas. Maximal ratio combining of diversity signals in amplify-and-forward relaying systems applying variable gain is analysed. Mixed Rayleigh/Ricean fading environment is assumed, while two diversity signals are described as two correlated and non-identical Rayleigh fading channels. Novel analytical model for determining the performance of the analysed relay system expressed through the system’s outage and bit error rate is derived. Excellent match between Monte-Carlo simulations and numerical results confirms the validity of the proposed analytical model. Furthermore, the presented results illustrate the effect of various channels parameters on the system performance, such as Ricean K factor, average signal to noise ratios, diversity signals’ correlation and cross-polar discrimination. For a given performance requirements, the proposed solution can significantly improve relay system performance.

Capacity Maximization for OFDM Two-Hop Relay System With Separate Power Constraints

The combination of a multihop relay system and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation is a promising way to increase the capacity and coverage area. For the OFDM two-hop relay system with separate power constraints, joint subcarrier matching and power allocation is considered in this paper, which uses the “decode-and-forward” relay strategy. The aforementioned problem can be formulated as a mixed binary integer programming problem, which is prohibitive when trying to find the global optimum. By separating the subcarrier matching and the power allocation, the optimal scheme, i.e., the optimal joint subcarrier matching and power allocation, is presented in this paper. After that, a suboptimal scheme with less complexity is also proposed, which can also be used to better understand the effects of power allocation. Simulation results show that the capacity of the optimal scheme is almost equivalent to the upper bound of the system capacity, and the capacity of the suboptimal scheme is close to that of the optimal scheme. In addition, simulation results also show that the one-to-one subcarrier matching is almost optimal, although it simplifies the system architecture.
