Abstract

This paper analyses BER (Bit Error Rate) performance of 2-hop wireless communications networks with hybrid decode-and-forward (HDF) relays. The conventional HDF method is usually based on the receive signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the relay to decide whether to forward the decoded data in order to obviate the erroneous detection at the relay. In contrast, we propose a new solution of using log-likelihood ratio (LLR) as an efficient alternative to SNR. The approximate BER expressions of different HDF schemes are also derived and verified by Monte-Carlo simulations. In addition, we compute the optimum thresholds for HDF schemes. A variety of numerical results demonstrate that the new LLR-based HDF significantly outperforms the SNR-based HDF for any threshold level and relay location under flat Rayleigh fading channel plus AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise).

본 논문에서는 하이브리드 복호 후 전달(HDF)기법을 이용하는 2홉 무선 통신 네트워크의 BER(Bit Error Rate) 성능을 분석한다. 기존의 HDF 기법은 릴레이에서 복호된 데이터의 전달유무를 수신되는 신호 대 잡음비(SNR)를 기준으로 한다. 반면 본 논문에서는 SNR 기준 방식 대신 대수 우도비(Log Likelihood Ratio, LLR) 분석 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 새로운 HDF 기법의 근사적 BER 표현식을 유도하며, Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션으로 검증한다. 또한 HDF 기법을 위한 최적의 임계값을 계산한다. 다양한 수식으로 인한 결론은 본 논문에서 제안하는 LLR기반 HDF가 기존의 SNR기반 HDF보다 레일리 페이딩채널과 AWGN환경에서 어떠한 임계값과 어떠한 릴레이 위치에도 뛰어난 성능을 보임을 증명한다.
