Cooperative ARQ protocol for correlated wireless channels

A novel Automatic repeat ReQuest （ARQ） protocol called cooperative ARQ is presented in this letter, where a relay terminal is requested to retransmit an erroneously received packet, instead of the source terminal. The data link layer Packet Error Rate （PER） performance of cooperative ARQ is derived in correlated wireless channel. The results show that even though the relay-destination channel is worse than the sourcedestination channel, the new protocol outperforms the traditional one as long as the average SNR of the relaydestination channel is better than a certain threshold. It is also demonstrated that a second order diversity gain can be achieved with the cooperative ARQ protocol.

Cooperative Communication Protocols in Wireless Networks: Performance Analysis and Optimum Power Allocation

In this paper, symbol-error-rate (SER) performance analysis and optimum power allocation are provided for uncoded cooperative communications in wireless networks with either decode-and-forward (DF) or amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperation protocol, in which source and relay send information to destination through orthogonal channels. In case of the DF cooperation systems, closed-form SER formulation is provided for uncoded cooperation systems with PSK and QAM signals. Moreover, an SER upper bound as well as an approximation are established to show the asymptotic performance of the DF cooperation systems, where the SER approximation is asymptotically tight at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Based on the asymptotically tight SER approximation, an optimum power allocation is determined for the DF cooperation systems. In case of the AF cooperation systems, we obtain at first a simple closed-form moment generating function (MGF) expression for the harmonic mean to avoid the hypergeometric functions as commonly used in the literature. By taking advantage of the simple MGF expression, we obtain a closed-form SER performance analysis for the AF cooperation systems with PSK and QAM signals. Moreover, an SER approximation is also established which is asymptotically tight at high SNR. Based on the asymptotically tight SER approximation, an optimum power allocation is determined for the AF cooperation systems. In both the DF and AF cooperation systems, it turns out that an equal power strategy is good, but in general not optimum in cooperative communications. The optimum power allocation depends on the channel link quality. An interesting result is that in case that all channel links are available, the optimum power allocation does not depend on the direct link between source and destination, it depends only on the channel links related to the relay. Finally, we compare the performance of the cooperation systems with either DF or AF protocol. It is shown that the performance of a systems with the DF cooperation protocol is better than that with the AF protocol. However, the performance gain varies with different modulation types and channel conditions, and the gain is limited. For example, in case of BPSK modulation, the performance gain cannot be larger than 2.4 dB; and for QPSK modulation, it cannot be larger than 1.2 dB. Extensive simulation results are provided to validate the theoretical analysis.     

Exploiting cooperative relays to enhance the performance of energy-harvesting systems over Nakagami-<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis> fading channels

This paper investigates a time-switching energy-harvesting system in which a source communicates with a destination via energy-constrained amplify-and-forward relays. To exploit the benefit of using multiple relays, we propose a relay scheduling called consecutive relay selection (CRS), which allows all relays to assist the source-to-destination communication, to improve the transmission efficiency of the time-switching policy. The partial relay selection (PRS) is examined for performance comparison. The selected relay in the PRS protocol is considered in two cases: in one, it is selected based on the first-hop channel gains (PRS-1 protocol), and in the other, it is selected based on the second-hop channel gains (PRS-2 protocol). For performance evaluation, the analytical expressions of the outage probability and throughput for Nakagami-m fading channel are derived. Our results show that the CRS protocol outperforms the PRS protocol in terms of throughput, the PRS-1 protocol achieves better performance than the PRS-2 protocol. Moreover, we discuss the effects of various key system parameters on system performance, such as the energy-harvesting ratio, source transmission rate, and locations of relays, to provide insights into the various design choices.     

Error Rate and Capacity Analysis for Incremental Hybrid DAF Relaying using Polar Codes

The deployment of an incremental hybrid decode-amplify and forward relaying scheme is a promising and superior solution for cellular networks to meet ever-growing network traffic demands. However, the selection of a suitable relaying protocol based on the signal-to-noise ratio threshold is important in realizing an improved quality of service. In this paper, an incremental hybrid relaying protocol is proposed using polar codes. The proposed protocol achieves a better performance than existing turbo codes in terms of capacity. Simulation results show that the polar codes through an incremental hybrid decode-amplify-and-forward relay can provide a 38% gain when γ_th(1) and γ_th(2) are optimal. Further, the channel capacity is improved to 17.5 b/s/Hz and 23 b/s/Hz for 2 × 2 MIMO and 4 × 4 MIMO systems, respectively. Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to achieve the optimal solution.
