In this paper, we study the opportunistic cooperation scheme that improves the outage performance through the efficient selection between a cooperative mode and a non-cooperative mode. Especially, in decode-and-forward relaying systems, we analyze the outage performance for the opportunistic cooperation using partial relay selection, where closed-form expressions of exact and asymptotic outage probabilities are derived assuming independent and identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels. In the numerical results, we verify the derived expressions, and investigate the outage performances for various target data rates and different numbers of relays. Also, we compare the outage performances of the conventional cooperation scheme and the opportunistic cooperation scheme.

Since the invention of a novel diversity technique, namely a space-time line code (STLC), though the previous studies have theoretically analyzed the error rate and ergodic capacity, the outage probability has not been revealed yet. In this paper, we characterize the probability density function of the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio, and mathematically derive the closed-form expression of the outage probability. Based on numerical simulations, furthermore, we validate the accuracy of the mathematical analysis, and present the insight into the system design and implementation.

This paper presents an OFDM-based dual-hop multi-relay system with best relay selection maximizing the mutual information. For the system either with decode-and-forward (DF) relays or with amplify-and-forward (AF) relays, we derive a lower-bound on the outage probability and the diversity order achievable in frequency selective fading channels and provide the outage capacity from simulation. Performance evaluation shows that both DF and AF provide the same diversity order as in the lower-bound but DF of which the outage probability is much closer to the lower-bound provides a better outage capacity than AF. It is also observed that the SNR gain of DF over AF gets larger as either the number of resolvable multipaths or the number of relay candidates increases, which makes DF relaying more favorable to the OFDM-based multi-relay system.

In this paper, we consider a downlink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) using multiple transmit antennas, where the transmit antenna selection scheme is used to reduce the system complexity. Thus, in this paper, we propose radio resource allocation and receiver selection schemes in order to improve the outage probability performance of the downlink NOMA system using the transmit antenna selection scheme. In particular, the receiver selection scheme is a method of grouping the receivers to improve the outage probability performance, and the radio resource allocation scheme is a method of allocating radio resources to each group in order to enhance the outage probability performance. In addition, through the computer simulation under the assumption of independent Rayleigh fading channels, we show that the proposed radio resource allocation and receiver selection schemes can improve the outage probability performance at the expense of the sum rate performance.

In this paper, a selective multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) transmission scheme is proposed in dual-hop MIMO relaying systems, in which orthogonal space-time block code(OSTBC) transmission and transmit antenna selection(TxAS) transmission are selectively used. Assuming independent Rayleigh fading channels, the outage probability is analyzed for a decode-and-forward(DF) relaying system using the selective MIMO transmission scheme. Also, through numerical investigation, the outage performance for the DF relaying system using the selective MIMO transmission scheme is compared with that for the conventional DF relaying system using OSTBC or TxAS. Moreover, from the performance comparison, it is shown that the proposed scheme can reduce the system overhead without outage performance degradation.

In this paper, the outage probability of efficient partial relay selection(EPRS) using only one-hop channel information in multi-hop systems is analyzed in Rayleigh fading channels. In particular, we derive an exact and closed-form expression for the outage probability of decode-and-forward relaying based EPRS. In order to prove the usefulness of EPRS in multi-hop systems, we also analyze the correlation between the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) and the SNR for each hop at an arbitrary relaying path. Furthermore, through numerical investigation, we compare the outage performances for EPRS and the best relay selection using all channel information.

In this paper, we investigate decode-and-forward (DF) relaying systems with a direct link between the source and the destination node. The objective of this paper is to determine the better relaying strategy between 3-hop DF relaying and dual-hop DF relaying with the best relay selection. Assuming Rayleigh fading channels, we present closed-form outage probability of the 3-hop relaying and the dual-hop relaying, respectively, and compare the performances by numerical investigation. Numerical results show that if the channel is poor, the outage performance of the 3-hop relaying is better than the dual-hop relaying.

Recently, various solutions to support explosively growing mobile data traffic have attracted intensive attentions. However, the range of spectrum which can be exploited for mobile communications is very limited. Small cell networks are actively investigated because they can efficiently offload mobile data traffic from macro cells without using additional spectrum. In this paper, we developed a system-level simulator considering small cell networks in the indoor environments. We compare the performance of outage probability when a load-balancing algorithm is utilized or not. We can reduce the outage probability of congested BS with the load-balancing algorithm. In addition, overall outage probability of whole wireless systems can be reduced by using the proposed load-balancing algorithm.

This paper considers hybrid beamforming for millimeter wave system in uplink transmission where multiple users send their data streams simultaneously. Hybrid beamforming has low-cost and low power consumption features compared to conventional digital beamforming schemes. We assume that each user uses one transmit antenna and sends one data stream, while the base station has multiple receive antennas and multiple radio frequency chains. Therefore, hybrid beamforming is performed only at the base station. We also assume that each user does not know instantaneous channel side information (CSI), while the base station is able to estimate the CSI from all users accurately. Under this channel assumption, the outage probability is not zero. We evaluate the outage probability of the considered hybrid beamforming as a performance metric through computer simulations. We show that the outage probability of hybrid beamforming approaches that of digital beamforming in some cases.

In this paper, we consider the amplify-and-forward relaying systems with the relay selection (AF-RS) using full channel information (FCI) and using partial channel information (PCI), respectively, in which the direct communication link between a source and a destination is available. And, the outage probabilities for the AF-RS using FCI and using PCI are investigated in Rayleigh fading channels, respectively. We provide exact outage probabilities, tight outage probability lower bounds, and asymptotic outage probabilities, respectively. And also, we present coding gains achievable by the AF-RS using FCI and using PCI. Through numerical investigation, all the analytic expressions are verified, and the coding gains are respectively evaluated with different average channel powers for the first and the second hop as well as different numbers of relays.
