Outage Probability Analysis of Dual-Hop Decode-and-Forward Relaying Over Mixed Rayleigh and Generalized Gamma Fading Channels

In this letter, outage probability of dual-hop decode-and-forward (DF) relaying scheme is analyzed over mixed Rayleigh and generalized Gamma fading channels. Cooperation model considered in this work consists of a source, a relay and a destination. It is assumed that source-relay and relay-destination channels experience Rayleigh fading and generalized Gamma fading, respectively. Exact outage probability expression is derived and outage performance is illustrated for both direct transmission and DF relaying scheme.     

Performance Analysis of Decode-and-Forward Relaying with Selection Combining

Distributed spatial diversity systems utilize multiple communication nodes to create independent signal replicas that are combined at the destination. Practical diversity receivers often employ simple combining techniques especially if comparable performance to more complex optimum combining can be achieved. The performance of decode-and-forward relaying that uses selection combining is investigated. In particular, a closed- form expression for the outage probability of a system with an arbitrary number of relay nodes is derived. By comparing the performance of a system that uses selection combining to one that uses optimum maximal ratio combining, it is shown that the performance loss due to using a less complex combiner is not substantial.     

Optimized Selection Diversity for Rayleigh Fading Channels

This paper considers the choice of the number of diversity branches for minimizing the bit error rate of a selection diversity system using noncoherent binary frequency-shift keying modulation for transmission over a Rayleigh fading Gaussian channel. An exact expression for the optimum number of branches,L_{sel}^{ast}, is given. The resulting probability of bit error decreases exponentially with the square root of the energy per bit.

Analysis of Transmit Antenna Selection/Maximal-Ratio Combining in Rayleigh Fading Channels

In this paper, we investigate a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) scheme combining transmit antenna selection and receiver maximal-ratio combining (the TAS/MRC scheme). In this scheme, a single transmit antenna, which maximizes the total received signal power at the receiver, is selected for uncoded transmission. The closed-form outage probability of the system with transmit antenna selection is presented. The bit error rate (BER) of the TAS/MRC scheme is derived for binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) in flat Rayleigh fading channels. The BER analysis demonstrates that the TAS/MRC scheme can achieve a full diversity order at high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), as if all the transmit antennas were used. The average SNR gain of the TAS/MRC is quantified and compared with those of uncoded receiver MRC and space-time block codes (STBCs). The analytical results are verified by simulation. It is shown that the TAS/MRC scheme outperforms some more complex space-time codes of the same spectral efficiency. The cost of the improved performance is a low-rate feedback channel. We also show that channel estimation errors based on pilot symbols have no impact on the diversity order over quasi-static fading channels.

Differentially Coherent Blind Adaptive Receiver for Rayleigh Fading CDMA Channels

Interest in code division multiple access (CDMA) has increased dramaticallyin boththe industry and academia. This is due to the potential increase in usercapacity andinterference, multipath fading, and jam-resistant capabilities. Differentapproaches ofmultiuser detection schemes have shown improvement over the conventionalreceiver.However, multiuser detectors require system parameters and adaptive multiuserreceivers require training sequences. These parameters are difficult toobtain inmultipath fading channels with a degradation in performance. A blind adaptivemultiuser receiver for flat fading and frequency-selective fading environments isstudied in this paper. This receiver alleviates the problem of multiuser detectors and adaptivemultiuser receivers by using a blind adaptive equalization method. The structure of the receiveris similar to that of the adaptive MMSE receiver which consists of an adaptive equalizer and an adaptivemechanism that uses a standard least mean-squared (LMS) algorithm, but uses a matched filterto generate a reference signal. The receiver is shown to be effective in different fadingchannels with perfect power control and a near-far effect. Furthermore, the simulationresults show that the blind MMSE receiver outperforms the conventional receiver and theRAKE receiver.     

General Order Selection Combining for Nakagami and Weibull Fading Channels

In this paper, some analytical results for general order selection (GOS) over independent but not necessarily identically distributed (i.n.d.) Weibull and Nakagami fading channels are presented. The Weibull fading parameters are assumed to be equal whereas the Nakagami fading parameters are assumed to be integer-valued. It is shown that the pdf of the q-th order statistic can be expressed as a linear combination of Weibull and Nakagami pdf's respectively. Closed-form expressions for the moment generating functions and general moments are derived. In addition, exact closed-form expressions for the symbol error rate are obtained for a number of modulation schemes. Numerical results show that for the same average channel gains, the performance on i.n.d. channels may be better or worse than on i.i.d. channels.     

Variable-Rate Transmission for Rayleigh Fading Channels

A modulation system is proposed that continuously adjusts its data rate in response to signal strength variations in a fading channel. The optimum variation of data rate with channel conditions is determined, and includes the effects of feedback channel time delay, the interval between rate changes, and restriction of the number of allowable rates. Application of these results to a full duplex situation allows determination of the optimum fraction of the data stream to be devoted to service information. Comparison of this scheme with diversity transmission on the basis of error probability and bandwidth utilization reveals a reduction on the order of 14 dB in transmitter power for a typical duplex link.

Average SNR and Ergodic Capacity Analysis for Opportunistic DF Relaying with Outage over Rayleigh Fading Channels

In the paper, we deal with a single-selection opportunistic relaying with the decode-and-forward (DF) protocol over Rayleigh fading channels. The exact end-to-end average signalto- noise ratios (SNR) and ergodic capacities of both proactive and reactive opportunistic relaying are derived as a closed-form for arbitrary link SNR. In addition, the effective ergodic capacity satisfying the minimum required data rate without outage is also identified for both relaying schemes. The analysis results are used to demonstrate which relaying scheme outperforms the other for given system parameters.     

Probability of SNR Gain by Dual-Hop Relaying over Single-Hop Transmission in SISO Rayleigh Fading Channels

In this letter, we address the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain achievable by dual-hop relaying over the single-hop transmission in single-input single-output (SISO) flat Rayleigh fading channels. We deal with both nonregenerative and regenerative relaying schemes. To quantify the SNR gain, a closed-form expression of the probability of SNR gain is developed. The probability of SNR gain results in an explicit function of an average power ratio of the per-hop channel in dual-hop relaying to the channel in the single-hop transmission. We investigate impacts of the average power ratio as well as the relaying location on the SNR gain.     

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.

Fast Receive Antenna Selection for Spatial Multiplexing MIMO over Correlated Rayleigh Fading Channels

It is well known that the capacity of spatial multiplexing multiple-input multiple-output (SM-MIMO) system employing optimal antenna selection can significantly outperform a system without selection for same number of costly radio frequency chains. However, it requires an exhaustive search for the optimal selection (OS) that grows exponentially with the available number of transmit (u) and receive (m) antennas. In this paper, a novel low complexity receive antenna selection (RAS) technique is proposed for SM-MIMO to maximize the channel capacity over correlated Rayleigh fading environment. It is based on the Euclidean norms of channel matrix rows and the corresponding phase differences due to their direct impact on the capacity. Extensive analysis and simulations have shown near optimal performance for any signal-to-noise-ratio and correlation values with low complexity of ${\mathcal{O} \left({u^{2}m}\right)}$ vector calculations. This technique provides fast RAS to capture most of the capacity gain promised by multiple antenna systems over different channel conditions. Furthermore, it enables efficient spectrum utilization for next generation wireless communications.

Adaptive Path Selection Scheme with Combining for Multiple Relaying Cooperative Communications Networks

In future communications, cooperative communications with relay networks will be one of the most effective schemes to enlarge the coverage area and to boost the data rate. In the recent research results, the path selection, power allocation, and relay protocols on relay networks are the most important factors to improve the system performance. However, the channel quality of the direct transmission path and the relaying path has an influential effect on the performance of relay networks. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a best relaying path selection (BRPS) scheme to obtain the path diversity to improve the system capacity and data rate for cooperative networks (CNs). Simulation results show that the more the relay nodes are selected, the lower the bit error rate (BER) is. The proposed BRPS scheme obtains a high concession between both BER and system capacity for CNs.     

Multi-Antenna AF Two-Way Relaying Over Nakagami-m Fading Channels

We present the performance of multi-antenna selective combining amplify-and-forward (SC-AF) two-way relaying systems over independent and identically distributed (i.i.d) Nakagami- $m$ fading channels. The outage probability and symbol error probability of our relaying system are derived in closed-form. In order to get additional insights into the impact of system parameters, we consider the analysis of system at high signal-to-noise (SNR) regime. Through over high SNR analysis, we assume that the fading channels are independent and non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d). Also, there is no assumption on the fading parameter, $m$ . Moreover, some special cases of practical interest (e.g., Rayleigh fading channels, and single relay system) are also examined. Subsequently, we define an optimization problem using some approximations and then solve it analytically. Lastly, we present numerical simulations to check our analytical formulas.     

Hybrid Digital-Analog Relaying for Cooperative Transmission Over Slow Fading Channels

Hybrid digital-analog coding schemes have been proposed in source-channel coding to increase the robustness toward channel mismatch, in the absence of transmitter channel state information (CSIT). Recognizing that the same kind of robustness is needed at the relay in a three-node relay network, we propose several novel relaying protocols based on hybrid digital-analog transmission. We compare the performance of the new schemes with traditional digital-only (decode-and-forward or compress-and-forward) or analog-only (amplify-and-forward) relaying, as well as to performance bounds corresponding to genie-aided compress-and-forward relaying. Our new protocols achieve significant gains in terms of achievable expected rates, and they are able to close in on the performance bounds. In particular, we conclude that the best overall performance is obtained by an adaptive combination of decode-and-forward and hybrid digital-analog relaying.
