We study the problem of optimizing the symbol error probability (SEP) performance of cluster‐based cooperative wireless sensor networks. Recent studies in literature show that an efficient relay selection protocol based on simple geographical information of the nodes to execute cooperative diversity can significantly improve the SEP performance at the destination of such networks. As well, similar line of research on optimal power allocation (for the source and relay nodes) can be found in literature. However, to achieve the best SEP performance at the destination of a cooperative wireless sensor network, joint optimization of power allocation and relay placement should be accomplished. To this aim, we reformulate the SEP of a multi‐hop cooperative communication in a general form and optimize transmitted power level and relay placement simultaneously. This analysis is developed for both amplify‐and‐forward and decode‐and‐forward relaying protocols. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed joint optimization can effectively improve the SEP performance of the network. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In this paper, we consider a cooperative relay scheme for a mobile network with MIMO technology. The channel capacity for two well‐known relaying schemes are investigated: analogue relaying (amplify and forward) and digital relaying (decode and forward) from a mobile device to the base station through a relay node. In order to further increase the channel capacity, we propose an efficient hierarchical procedure based on support vector machine, namely hierarchical support vector machines (HSVM), to estimate the wireless networks condition approximately and design two ways (matched filter and minimum mean square error filter) of increasing the channel capacity according to the estimated wireless network condition. The proposed HSVM can estimate the wireless networks condition in much shorter time compared with the traditional minimum mean square error scheme without incurring much estimation error, which is spatial, useful for delay sensitive communication. For digital relaying, the effect of imperfect channel decode is also addressed. Our numerical results demonstrate the reduction of estimation complexity by adopting HSVM and the significant improvement of network capacity by applying the matched filter weight at relay nodes according to the network estimation.

In this paper, we propose minimum power allocation strategies for repetition-based amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying, given a required symbol error rate (SER) at the destination. We consider the scenario where one source and multiple relays cooperate to transmit messages to the destination. We derive the optimal power allocation strategy for two-hop AF cooperative network that minimizes the total relay power subject to the SER requirement at the destination. Two outstanding features of the proposed schemes are that the power coefficients have a simple solution and are independent of knowledge of instantaneous channel state information (CSI). We further extend the SER constraint minimum power allocation to the case of multibranch, multihop network and derive the closed-form solution for the power control coefficients. For the case of power-limited relays, we propose two iterative algorithms to find the power coefficients for the SER constraint minimum-energy cooperative networks. However, this power minimization strategy does not necessarily maximize the lifetime of battery-limited systems. Thus, we propose two other AF cooperative schemes which consider the residual battery energy, as well as the statistical CSI, for the purpose of lifetime maximization. Simulations show that the proposed minimum power allocation strategies could considerably save the total transmitted power compared to the equal transmit power scheme. 相似文献

Recently wireless powered networks have emerged as cutting-edge technology for addressing the power constraint issue of wireless devices (WD’s). This technology enables wireless nodes to harness power from the ambient radio frequency (RF) signal thus enhances the energy efficiency of the communication network and also improves the network longevity. The underlying principle of energy harvesting (EH) by wireless power transfer (WPT) has implications on system performance due to link distance and channel fading. To address the impact of channel fading on energy constraints WD’s this work explores the maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity at the receiver node for the presented simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) model considering the energy constraint unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mounted amplify and forward (AF) relay. Assuming fluctuating two ray (FTR) fading scenario a novel analytical expression for the outage probability (OP) and symbol error rate (SER) for the presented system has been derived. As the FTR fading channel provides a generalized fading model and can significantly model millimeter wave band signals. Based on derived performance metrics this paper investigates the impact of variation on node positioning and EH time allocation factor on system outage probability (OP) and symbol error rate (SER) performance. Finally, the derived expression has been validated by comparing the results obtained from the Monte Carlo simulation. 相似文献

ABSTRACTEnergy harvesting (EH) is an eminent solution to perpetuate the lifetime of energy-constrained relay nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This paper considers a multi-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) network in which relay nodes with EH capability harvest energy inherent in the source transmitted radio frequency (RF) signal and use the harvested energy for signal transmission. Based on the time switching and power splitting EH receiver designs, we have examined the performance of, (i) time switching based relaying (TSR) and (ii) power splitting based relaying (PSR) protocols in multi-hop AF network, with throughput as the figure of merit. The numerical analysis reveals that, PSR outperforms TSR at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) whereas TSR outperforms PSR at low SNR, in multi-hop AF-WSNs with energy harvesting. 相似文献

为了增大网络寿命,降低误符号率,优化无直传链路协作通信系统的性能,本文提出基于接收信噪比和网络寿命的最优中继选择算法。由于网络寿命的问题无法直接求解,将其转化为中继节点剩余能量与目的节点达到接收信噪比门限时发射功率的比值。首先计算各个中继在目的节点的接收信噪比,将大于信噪比门限加入候选中继,然后依次计算候选中继的联合优化函数值并排序,值最大者即为最优中继。理论推导了系统误符号率的上下界,仿真表明理论值与仿真值较为吻合,验证了系统在保证较低误符号率的基础上延长了网络寿命。 相似文献

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. 相似文献

One of the main drawbacks of cooperative communication systems with half-duplex relaying is inefficient use of spectrum. Incremental relaying is an effective technique that overcomes this limitation, particularly in the high-SNR regime. In this paper, for a multi-relay cooperative network with arbitrary number of relay nodes, we propose a spectrally-efficient incremental relaying scheme that eliminates redundant relay transmissions such that an average end-to-end bit error rate (BER) constraint is satisfied. For detect-and-forward relaying, under the assumption of error propagation from the relays to the destination, we analyze the performance of the system in terms of the end-to-end BER, the average spectral efficiency and the outage probability for Rayleigh fading environment. The performance of the system depends on a single threshold employed by the relays and the destination. We optimize this threshold such that the average spectral efficiency of the system is maximized under an average end-to-end BER constraint. This optimization criterion results in a constant-BER, variable-spectral efficiency relaying scheme. The proposed scheme makes use of spectrum as efficiently as possible, while providing the required quality of service at the destination. 相似文献

A cooperative wireless relaying communication system usually consists of a source node, a destination node and one or more relay nodes. In this work Amplify-and-Forward/Decode-and-Forward relaying techniques are discussed in order to improve the performance of a wireless relaying communication system under the case of high code rate. As a performance metric, the outage probability of the proposed Amplify- and-Forward/Decode-and-Forward relaying structure is compared with and without coding issue. Results from the proposed modeling and simulations illustrate that our Amplify-and-Forward/Decode-and-Forward relaying method with high code rating enables robust cooperative wireless communication. 相似文献

Mobile wireless ad hoc networks need to maximize their network lifetime (defined as the time until the first node runs out of energy). In the broadcast network lifetime problem, all nodes are sending broadcast traffic, and one asks for an assignment of transmit powers to nodes, and for sets of relay nodes so that the network lifetime is maximized. The selection of a dynamic relay set consisting of a single node (the ‘master’), can be regarded as a special case, providing lower bounds to the optimal lifetime in the general setting. This paper provides a preliminary analysis of such a ‘dynamic master selection’ algorithm, comparing relaying to direct routing. 相似文献

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) relay networks are wireless communication systems comprising of multiple nodes, each of which is equipped with multiple antennas. Information theories have shown that using multiple nodes to simultaneously relay a message can improve the capacity of source-to-destination communications. In this paper, we propose new relaying schemes for MIMO relay networks. The major concept behind the proposed schemes is to transform each of the MIMO relay channels into an equivalent triangular channel with positive real diagonal entries. By doing so, the resultant MIMO relay channel can simultaneously offer both distributed array gain (diversity gain obtained among relay nodes) and intranode array gain (diversity gain realized by multiple antennas of individual relay node) while maintaining the maximum spatial multiplexing gain (number of parallel data pipes). Based on this concept, three relaying schemes are derived that perform QR decomposition and phase control. Numerical results confirm that at least one of the proposed schemes outperforms the amplify-and-forward and the zero-forcing relaying schemes under various conditions. Moreover, we show that ratios of noise power level at relay and destination node have a great impact on capacities. 相似文献

The performance of wireless communication systems is improved over flat fading channel by using Alamouti coding scheme, which provides the quality of diversity gain. In this paper, performance analysis of symbol error rate (SER) and particle swarm optimization (PSO)–based power allocation (PA) for Alamouti amplify and forward (AF) relaying protocol using maximum ratio combining (MRC) technique is presented. Analytical expression of SER upper bound and SER approximation is derived for Alamouti AF relaying protocol with quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation over Rayleigh fading channel and Rician fading channel. In addition, PSO‐based optimum PA factor is calculated on the basis of the minimum SER of proposed method. PSO‐based optimum PA gives 0.5 dB of improved signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) compared with the equal power allocation (EPA). The theoretical approximate SER result is compared with the simulated SER. The proposed protocol provides full diversity gain and reduces SER compared with the existing AF and decode and forward (DF) relaying protocols over Rayleigh fading channel and Rician fading channel. 相似文献

This letter analyzes the performance of repetitionbased cooperative diversity wireless networks using amplifyand forward relaying, in which each relay has only statistical knowledge of the source-relay link. The network channels are modeled as independent, non-identical, Rayleigh distributed coefficients. The exact symbol error rate is derived using the moment generating function (MGF). We derive the probability density function and MGF of the total SNR. Then, the MGF is used to determine the symbol error rate (SER). The diversity order of the amplify-and-forward cooperation with partial statistical channel state information is also found via the asymptotic behavior of the average SER, and it is shown that the cooperative network achieves full diversity. Our analytical results are confirmed by simulations. 相似文献

In this article we review an important class of wireless cooperation protocols known as amplify-and-forward relaying. One or more low-complexity relay nodes assist the communication between sources and destinations without having to decode the signal. This makes AF relaying transparent to modulation and coding of the source/destination communication protocol. It is therefore a highly flexible technology that also qualifies for application in heterogeneous networks comprising many nodes of different complexity or even standards. Recently, two-way relaying was introduced, which is readily combined with AF relaying. It is a spectrally efficient protocol that allows for bidirectional communication between sources and destinations. In order to investigate the potential of wireless AF relaying, we introduce three distributed network scenarios that differ in the amount of cooperation between nodes. New challenges arise in those networks, and we discuss approaches to overcome them. For the most general case of a completely distributed system, we present coherent relaying solutions that offer a distributed spatial multiplexing gain even for single-antenna nodes. Based on real-world experiments, we validate the feasibility of all schemes in our laboratory. 相似文献

In this paper, we analyse the symbol error rate (SER) performance of adaptive relay selection schemes (ARS) in a general dual-hop
multiple-relay network. Specifically, we provide a closed-form SER expression for ARS which is tight over the whole signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) region. In addition, the derived SER can be readily extended to conventional relay selection schemes, i.e. amplify-and-forward
relay selection (AF-RS), perfect decode-and-forward relay selection (PDF-RS), adaptive decode-and-forward relay selection
(ADF-RS), and cooperative-maximum-ratio-combining decode-and-forward relay selection (CDF-RS). Transmit power allocation based
on the simplified SER is presented to improve the system performance. The analytical results are verified by computer simulations. 相似文献

在未来无线通信网络中,协作通信的性能依赖于通信资源的有效分配,比如中继选择和功率控制等.在本文中,我们建议了一个分布式买者和卖者博弈理论框架,以满足用户链路质量需求为基础,解决多用户协作通信中最优化中继选择和功率控制.本文联合考虑了源节点和中继节点的功率分配,进而优化源节点和中继节点的收益.这里提出的方法不仅有助于源节点找到相对位置较好的中继节点以及在源和中继之间进行最优化功率分配从而最小化源节点的支付,而且有助于相互竞争的中继节点提供优化的价格以最大化它们各自的收益.此外,这里的优化价格可以仅由局部信道状态信息和其他节点的能量价格决定.如果获得的中继节点总数增加,全网的能量消耗会更低. 相似文献

Recently developed cooperative protocol with distributed path selection provides a simple and practical means of achieving full cooperative diversity in wireless networks. While the best path selection method can significantly improve bit error rate (BER) performance, it may cause unequal power consumption among relay nodes, which may reduce the lifetime of energy-constrained networks. A path selection method under the equal power constraint has been developed for the amplifyand- forward (AF) protocol, but there is no such method for the decode-and-forward (DF) protocol. In this paper, we develop a distributed path selection method with an equal power constraint for the DF protocol. We also analyze the BER performance of our path-selection method. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method can guarantee equal power consumption, while achieving full diversity as the best path selection method and providing significant performance gain relative to noncooperative communication. 相似文献

An optimal cooperation strategy, decode-to-cooperate, is proposed and investigated for performance improvements in dual-hop wireless relay networks. Based on decode-and-forward (DF) strategy with multiple relay selection, we design a novel scheme such that the source node keeps transmitting sequentially and the selected relays cooperate by transmitting the decoded signal using distributed Alamouti coding. We exploit the multipath propagation effect of the wireless channel to achieve lower probability of error and introduce optimum power allocation and relay positioning. We analyze the scenario when the source to destination direct link is not available and derive a closed form expression for symbol error rate (SER), its upper bound and an asymptotically tight approximation to exploit the performance gain by selecting the optimum relays in a multiple-relay cooperation scheme. Moreover, asymptotic optimum power allocation (based on the SER approximation) and optimal relay positioning are also considered to further improve the SER. The proposed relay selection scheme outperforms cooperative (DF) and non-cooperative schemes by more than 2 dB. 相似文献

In this letter, we consider a multi-relay network operating in decode-and-forward mode. We propose a novel relay selection method with a low implementation complexity. Unlike the competing schemes, it requires neither error detection methods at relay nodes nor feedback information at the source. We derive a closed-form symbol error rate (SER) expression for multi-relay network under consideration and demonstrate that the proposed selection method is able to extract the full diversity. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations are also presented to confirm the derived SER expressions and to compare the performance of the proposed scheme with its competitors. 相似文献

We consider an ad hoc wireless network consisting of d source-destination pairs communicating, in a pairwise manner, via R relaying nodes. The relay nodes wish to cooperate, through a decentralized beamforming algorithm, in order to establish all the communication links from each source to its respective destination. Our communication strategy consists of two steps. In the first step, all sources transmit their signals simultaneously. As a result, each relay receives a noisy faded mixture of all source signals. In the second step, each relay transmits an amplitude- and phase-adjusted version of its received signal. That is each relay multiply its received signal by a complex coefficient and retransmits the so-obtained signal. Our goal is to obtain these complex coefficients (beamforming weights) through minimization of the total relay transmit power while the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) at the destinations are guaranteed to be above certain predefined thresholds. Although such a power minimization problem is not convex, we use semidefinite relaxation to turn this problem into a semidefinite programming (SDP) problem. Therefore, we can efficiently solve the SDP problem using interior point methods. Our numerical examples reveal that for high network data rates, our space division multiplexing scheme requires significantly less total relay transmit power compared to other orthogonal multiplexing schemes, such as time-division multiple access schemes. 相似文献
