Abstract

This paper has proposed 1-2-1 coded cooperative communication that is a combination of STBC and ARQ. Coded cooperative communication is a protocol that integrates channel coding with cooperative communication. In this paper consider convolution encoder. ARQ method can increase the spectral efficiency than conventional cooperative communication because if the received signal from source node is satisfied by the destination preferentially, the destination transmits ACK message to both relay node and source node and then recovers the received signal. Where each relay 1, 2 forwards a punctured portion of receive data. When relay transmit to destination apply STBC the reliability to increase. Moreover this protocol can get better BER performance of receiver using simple comparator. We verified BER performance for the proposed protocol through Monte-Carlo simulation over Rayleigh fading plus AWGN.

본 논문에서 무선 센서 네트워크에 적용 가능한 시공간 블록 부호(Space-Time Block Coding: STBC)와 ARQ를 이용한 1-2-1 부호화 협력 통신 방식을 제안한다. 부호화 협력 통신은 협력 통신에 채널 부호화를 접목시킨 기술로 본 논문에서는 콘볼루션 부호화기를 사용한다. ARQ 방식은 소스 노드로부터 수신한 신호를 우선적으로 목적지 노드에서 평가하여 만족되어질 경우, ACK 메시지를 소스 노드와 릴레이 노드로 전송하고 수신한 신호를 복구하므로 기존의 협력 통신에 비해 주파수 효율을 높일 수 있다. 중계 노드 1과2는 소스로부터 수신한 신호를 펑처링하석 목적지로 전송하는데, 이때 STBC 기술을 적용하여 프로토콜의 신뢰성을 높인다. 또한, 간단한 비교기를 통하여 우수한 BER 성능을 얻을 수 있다. 마지막으로 제안한 프로토콜을 레일리 페이딩과 AWGN를 고려한 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션을 통해 BER 성능을 검증하였다.
