In the two-way relay channel, the relay employ Amplify-and-Forward (AF) or Decode-and-Forward (DF) protocol, and broadcast the network-coded signal to both user. In the system, DF protocol provides maximum throughput at low signal to noise ratio(SNR). On the other hand, at high SNR, AF protocol provides maximum throughput. The paper propose active transmission scheme which employ Amplify-and-Forward or Decode-and-Forward protocol based on received SNR at the relay over Two-way relay channel. The optimal threshold is investigated numerically for switching the protocol. Through numerical results, we confirm that the proposed scheme outperforms conventional schemes over two-way relay channel.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying in cooperative networks with partial relay selection. An AF relay gain considered in this paper includes channel-noise-assisted relay gain. Leveraging a received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) model, we derive exact closed-form expressions for the probability density function (pdf) and cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the end-to-end SNR. Moreover, an exact closed-form expression of the ergodic capacity for dual-hop AF relaying with channel-noise-assisted relay gain and partial relay selection is investigated. The analytical results shown in this paper are confirmed by Monte-Carlo simulations.

We propose a simple power allocation scheme for an amplify-and-forward multiple relay system with multiple-input multiple-output antennas. Unlike the existing relay precoding matrix with full elements, proposed precoder is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal element is the relay gain for each stream. Furthermore, a weight vector is applied to streams, such that the mutual information of the system approaches that of the exhaustive search scheme, regardless of the number of antennas. Numerical results show that proposed scheme outperforms the conventional schemes with respect to mutual information.

Comparing conventional one-way relaying, two-way relaying scheme with network coding can achieve high throughput by reducing the transmission time. Coded cooperation protocol, which is a algorithm that uses coding on physical layer, can achieve high reliability. In this paper, we propose coded cooperation protocol over two-way relay network. Simulation results show proposed protocol has better performance in terms of reliability and throughput compare with conventional amplify and forward protocol. Also, with same throughput, proposed protocol has better performance in terms of reliability compare with the conventional hybrid decoded and forward protocol.

In this paper, the linear source and relay precoders are designed for AF MIMO relay systems. In order to minimize mean squared error (MSE) of received symbol vector, the source and relay precoders are proposed, and MMSE receiver which is suitable to those precoders is utilized at the destination node. As the optimal precoders for source and relay nodes are not represented in closed form and induced by iterative method, we suggest a simple precoder design scheme. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed precoding scheme is comparable with that of optimal scheme and outperforms other relay precoding schemes. Moreover, in high SNR region, it is revealed that SNR between source and relay node is more influential than SNR between relay and destination node in terms of bit error rate.

In this paper, a cooperative jamming network with multiple relays and multiple eavesdroppers is investigated. Among the relays, one best relay is selected to amplify and forward the signal to destination through two phases. To confuse eavesdroppers, the destination transmits a jamming signal in the first phase and the source transmits jamming signal in the second phase. Secrecy rate of this system is derived, and based on the available channel state information (CSI), relay selection schemes are proposed, respectively. Numerical results show that the performance of the proposed relay selection scheme outperforms than that of random relay selection scheme.

최근 들어 무선 통신 트래픽이 급증하고 있다. 때문에 주파수, 시간 등과 같은 무선 통신 자원의 효율적 활용이 매우 중요해 지고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 스펙트럼 효율이 낮은 단방향 중계 시스템에 비해 이론적으로 약 2배에 가까운 스펙트럼 효율을 갖는 양방향 중계 기술에 대한 연구가 최근 들어 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 양방향 중계 시스템이 갖는 높은 스펙트럼 효율을 극대화하기 위해서는 단방향 릴레이 시스템에 비하여 증가하는 오버헤드의 증가량을 최소화하면서 요구 성능을 만족하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 하나의 대안으로 본 논문에서는 증폭 후 재전송(amplify-and-forward) 양방향 중계시스템에서 결합적 간섭제거 및 채널 등화를 위한 적응형 수신기를 제안한다. 제안하는 수신기는 적은 오버헤드만을 갖기 때문에 양방향 중계기술이 갖는 높은 스펙트럼 효율을 그대로 유지할 수 있으며, 복잡도가 높은 역행렬 연산 없이 채널 추정 기반 최소평균자승에러 (minimum mean-square error) 수신기가 갖는 성능을 제공한다.

Exploiting multiple antennas at mobile devices is difficult due to limited size and power. In this paper, a distributed MIMO protocol achieving the capacity of conventinal MIMO systems is proposed and analyzed. For exploiting distributed MIMO features, Quantize-Map-and-Forward (QMF) scheme shows improved performance than Amplify-and-Forward (AF) scheme. Also, the protocol based on multiple access channel (MAC) is proposed to improve the multiplexing gain. We showed that sufficient condition of the number of slave nodes to achieve the gain of a MAC based protocol. Because the base station can support multiple clusters operating in distributed MIMO, the total cellular capacity can be extremely enhanced in proportional to the number of clusters.

Cooperative networks transmit signals form the source node to the destination node via several relay node where the combining and demodulation of relay aided signals provide the benefit of performance enhancement and data rate increment. In general, a repetitive manner transmission scheme in which the received signal from the source node is amplified/re-generated and forward to the destination node is widely used. In this paper, we analyzed the performance of cooperative networks using the mixed transmission scheme. The conventional modulation scheme is used in the source-relay links, and space-time code is applied in the relay-destination links. To reduce the complexity of the overall system, we adopt differential modulation which bypasses channel state information. We analyze bit error rate (BER) of the proposed system by considering the number of relay nodes, and the performances depending on the strength of transmission signal in the source-relays and rely-destination links are compared. In addition, we also discuss the system performance with the signal strength and the number of relay nodes simultaneously.

본 논문에서는 하나의 중계기가 하나의 송신기로부터 신호를 받아 증폭한 후에 수신기로 재전송하는 방식으로 송신기와 수신기 사이의 통신을 돕는 네트워크를 고려하였다. 중계기가 독자적인 에너지원이 없는 경우 일정한 양을 에너지를 확보하여 중계에 사용하기 위해서 송신기로부터의 신호를 에너지로 하베스팅하는 모델을 생각하였다. 또한, 나아가 현재의 다양한 무선통신 네트워크에서 사용중인 적응변조를 적용하여 항상 일정이상의 비트오율을 만족할 수 있는 더욱 현실적인 모델이 되도록 하였다. 이러한 모델에서 정해진 만큼의 시간을 하베스팅에 사용했을 경우 처리율을 구하였으며, 나아가 그 시간을 최적화하여 유도한 처리율을 최대화하는 문제를 만들었다.
