协作网络中基于中继选择的协作波束赋形算法

针对多中继网络中所有中继节点都参与协作的协作波束赋形方法,提出了一种基于选择的协作波束赋形算法。该方法将最小化系统中断概率作为目标,得到一个次优的中继节点选择门限,小于门限的中继节点被逐一剔除,从而保证了网络中的资源只分配给有用的中继节点,获得了分集增益。该选择方法需搜索次数和中继节点的个数相等,因此大幅降低了选择过程的复杂度。蒙特卡洛仿真表明,选择波束赋形算法可有效提高系统中断概率性能和网络能量效率。

多中继协作通信系统容量分析及中继选择协作分集策略

本文针对多中继辅助通信系统,将系统建模为一个两跳通信链路,并进行了系统容量分析。针对两种特殊情况:用户端接收噪声方差远小于中继端接收噪声方差和中继端接收噪声方差远小于用户端接收噪声方差的情况,本文具体给出了系统传输容量上限与协作中继个数之间的关系。基于容量的分析,本文设计了两种中继选择策略。在第一种情况下,根据中继与用户间的信道特征值对多路数据流分别选取不同的中继子信道进行传输;在第二种情况下,选择一个信道条件最好的中继完成多路数据流的并行传输。仿真分析表明,不同的信道环境需要选择不同的中继选择策略。      

多中继协作通信系统的中断概率分析

MIMO relay wireless networks with scheduling and transmit beamforming

In this paper, we investigate the performance of a multiuser wireless relay network with each of its nodes equipped with N antennas and transmit beamforming at its source and relay, where multiuser diversity (MD) is exploited to further improve the system performance. In the first part of this paper, by deriving the approximate error performance expression for a single‐relay MD system without the direct link, we obtain the maximum diversity order achievable by the CSI‐assisted amplify‐and‐forward (CAF) protocol. Then, by taking the direct link into consideration, we propose a sub‐optimal transmit beamforming scheme and show the performance loss is very small. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Cooperative beamforming and relay selection in cognitive radio systems

In this paper, a new scheme is suggested for cooperative beamforming (BF) and relay selection in CR networks, where a pair of secondary users communicates with each other assisted by some multiple antenna relay nodes. The goal of the algorithm is to maximize signal to interference plus noise ratio of secondary user receiver subject to limited interference caused for primary user receiver and power constraints of relay nodes. The relay selection and BF optimization problem is solved separately by employing convex semidefinite programming through rank‐one relaxation. It is shown that our proposed algorithm outperforms conventional relay selection and BF schemes. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Cooperative beamforming of full‐duplex relays for improving physical layer security

In this paper, we consider secure communications of one source‐destination pair in the presence of one eavesdropper, when full‐duplex decode‐and‐forward cooperative relays operate to enhance physical layer security. While the conventional half‐duplex relay receives the signal from the source and forwards the re‐encoded signal to the destination in two separated time slots, the full‐duplex relay (FDR) performs the transmission and reception at the same time, which can ideally double the secrecy capacity. However, because of the simultaneous transmission and reception, each FDR suffers from both its own self‐interference and the interference from the other cooperative FDRs. When the conventional cooperative relaying schemes are used in full‐duplex relaying, it is obviously expected that the self‐interference signals cause severe degradation of the secrecy capacity. Here, we propose an iterative transmit power allocation and relay beamforming weight design scheme for cooperative FDRs to enhance the secrecy rate as well as suppress the self‐interference signals. Numerical results present that the FDRs with the proposed scheme significantly improve the secrecy rate compared with the conventional half‐duplex relays.

Optimal received SINR balancing based on cooperative beamforming in cognitive radio networks

In this paper, we investigate a two‐step cooperative cognitive radio network, which consists of two secondary links, a number of relays, and one primary link. During the first step, the primary link is assumed to be idle; both secondary sources simultaneously broadcast their data to the relay network. During the second step, the relay network employs a proposed cooperative beamforming (CBF) scheme and transmits the received data toward both of the secondary destinations (no matter whether the primary link is idle or not). The proposed CBF scheme enables the investigated network to simultaneously maximize received signal to interference plus noise ratio at both of the secondary destinations while keeping interference plus noise power at the primary destination under a predefined threshold. Indeed, the proposed scheme represents an optimal received signal to interference plus noise ratio balancing approach based on CBF, which guarantees the required quality of service for the primary link and also both secondary links. We optimize the CBF vector by relaxing the optimization problem to a convex semidefinite programming and solving with the bisection search algorithm. Numerical results show the efficiency and robustness of our approach. A comparison of our approach with the zero‐forcing beamforming method is also presented.

Estimation of synchronization impairments in multi-relay DF cooperative networks

Cooperative communication systems can effectively increase channel capacity and combat fading. Effective cooperation requires synchronization impairments such as multiple timing offsets and multiple carrier frequency offsets to be accurately estimated and mitigated. This paper seeks to address the joint estimation of synchronization impairments in multi-relay decode-and-forward （DF） cooperative networks. Firstly, a simple yet effective estimation method based on the devised training signals is presented for achieving synchronization. Then, an iterative algorithm is further derived in order to improve the performance associated with the estimation of synchronization impairments. Our proposed algorithm converts the difficult multiple parameter estimation problem into more tractable sub-problems of estimating many individual impairments pairs for the independent relays. Simulations indicate that, the proposed estimator can asymptotically achieve the mean square error （MSE） for the perfectly timing or frequency synchronized case.     

A utility-based capacity optimization framework for achieving cooperative diversity in the hierarchical converged heterogeneous wireless networks

A hierarchical convergence mechanism for the heterogeneous wireless communication system via the heterogeneous cooperative relay node is presented in this paper, in which the techniques of cooperative communication and wireless relay are utilized to improve performances of the individual user and the overall converged networks. In order to evaluate the benefits of the proposal, a utility-based capacity optimization framework for achieving the heterogeneous cooperative diversity gain is proposed. The heterogeneous cooperative capacity, relay selection and power allocation theoretical models are derived individually. The joint optimization model for relay selection and power allocation is presented as well. Owing to the computation complexity, the sub-optimal cooperative relay selection algorithm, the sub-optimal power allocation algorithm and the sub-optimal joint algorithm are determined to approach the maximum overall networks' spectrum efficiency. These proposed algorithms are designed in conformance to guarantee the equivalent transmission rates of the different wireless access networks. The simulation results demonstrate that the utility-based capacity model is available for the heterogeneous cooperative wireless communication system, and the proposed algorithms can improve performances by achieving the cooperative gain and taking full advantage of the cross-layer design.

Cooperative quadrature physical layer network coding in wireless relay networks

This paper proposes a cooperative quadrature physical layer network coding (CQPNC) scheme for a dual‐hop cooperative relay network, which consists of two source nodes, one relay node and one destination node. All nodes in the network have one antenna, and the two source nodes transmit their signals modulated with quadrature carriers. In this paper, a cooperative quadrature physical layer network coded decode‐and‐forward (DF) relay protocol (CQPNC‐DF) is proposed to transmit the composite information from the two source nodes via the relay node to the destination node simultaneously to reduce the number of time slots required for a transmission. The proposed CQPNC‐DF relay protocol is compared with time‐division multiple‐access amplify‐and‐forward (TDMA‐AF), TDMA‐DF, cooperative network coded DF (CNC‐DF) and cooperative analog network coded AF (CANC‐AF) relay protocols to demonstrate its effectiveness in terms of bit error rate (BER) and system throughput under different propagation conditions. The simulation results reveal that the proposed CQPNC‐DF relay protocol can significantly improve the network performance. Compared with two TDMA schemes and CNC‐DF, the proposal can provide up to 100% and 50% throughput gains, respectively. Moreover, no matter what the scene, the proposed scheme always has the lowest BER in the low SNR region. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
