An adaptive cooperation system is considered with the cooperation decision strategy based on the differences between instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) S-D and R-D channels. Specifically, if the quality of the direct link (S-D) is better than that of the link from the relay to the destination (R-D), the source will transmit to destination directly with all scheme's transmitted power. Otherwise, the source broadcasts the signal with a lower power in the first time slot. Then, in the second time slot, if the relay decodes its received signal correctly, it re-transmits the re-encoded signal to the destination else the source will transmit again with the remaining power. Firstly, the spectral efficiency is derived by calculating the probabilities of direct transmission and cooperation mode. Subsequently, the BER performance for the adaptive cooperation schemes is analyzed by considering the BER routine of each mode. Finally, the Monte-Carlo simulation results are presented to confirm the performance enhancement offered by the proposed schemes.

One of major services for the next generation mobile satellite system will be multimedia broadcasting and multi-casting service(MBMS). An integrated satellite and terrestrial network can be considered to provide those services seamlessly and cooperatively. This paper presents efficient cooperative transmission architectures for integrated satellite and terrestrial network. First, an integrated satellite and terrestrial system architectures is introduced, and several cooperative transmission architectures for the integrated system are derived. Extensive performance simulation results reveal that the proposed architectures can improve the system performance and make an efficient transmission.

Cooperative ARQ scheme is effective for better QoS guarantee for the next generation mobile communication systems where multimedia data transmission highly increases. In this paper, we propose a cooperative ARQ strategy in ad hoc cognitive relays for mobile multimedia communication for supporting instantaneous cooperation in MANET environment. In the proposed strategy, to support real time, delay-sensitive services, whenever a frame is transmitted from the source, each relay actively senses the SINR of the signal transmitted from the source, and determine whether to propose retransmission or not before the destination transmits feedback signal. To minimize the false retransmission decision or needless retransmission, we propose an adaptive sensing threshold optimization algorithm to maintain suboptimal sensing thresholds for each relay. By computer simulation, it is shown that the proposed cooperative ARQ retransmission scheme outperforms the conventional schemes with respect to frame transmission delay and frame loss probability in real time multimedia data transmission system.

This paper proposes an adaptive cooperative scheme in the cell boundary. The user location and the suitable cooperative transmission scheme are considered in the proposed scheme. If the user is located in the cell boundary, the quality of communication is degraded. Two base stations are used to obtain diversity in the conventional schemes. But the quality of communication is not sufficiently improved because the user is still distant from the base stations. So, the scheme is proposed that the relays and the adaptive cooperative scheme are used considering the location of the user. By the simulation, it is proved that the proposed scheme is better than the conventional scheme.

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.

In this paper, we first propose a power-and-bandwidth efficient cooperative transmission protocol where a sensor node assists two others for their data transmission to a clusterhead in WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) using LEACH (Low-Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy). Then we derive its closed-form BER expression which Is also a general BER one for the decode-and-forward protocol (DF) and Prove that the proposed protocol performs as same as the conventional DF but obtains higher spectral efficiency. A variety of numerical results reveal the cooperation can save the network power up to 11dB over direct transmission at BER of $10^{-3}$.

In this paper, we propose two different types of cooperative transmission protocols, referred to as spatial multiplexing with receive diversity (SMRD), that are bandwidth-efficient. We show that the BER performance can be significantly improved with a proper design of SMRD protocol under the AF (Amplify-and-Forward) and the DF (Decode-and-Forward) modes of relaying, when there is no interference among all symbols transmitted in the same time slot. BER analysis and our simulation result show that the proposed transmission protocol achieves a significant gain over no-cooperation (direct transmission) without any bandwidth expansion.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 이동하는 표적의 위치를 추정하기 위한 연구는 센서 노드의 에너지가 제한 되어 있어 센서 노드 상호간의 협력적인 신호처리 기법이 필수적이다. 기존의 무선 센서 네트워크에서 이동 표적의 위치를 추정하는 방법은 각 센서 노드에서 이동 표적으로부터 수신된 신호를 이용해 수신신호강도, 잡음제거, 압축 등의 신호처리를 수행하고 기지국으로 전송하는 형태이다. 이런 기존의 기법은 애드 호크 방법의 무선 센서 네트워크에는 적용이 어렵고, 각 센서 노드에서 신호처리 및 통신에 의한 에너지 소모가 크기 때문에 무선 센서 네트워크의 생존 시간이 짧아지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 기반의 무선 센서 네트워크의 협력적 신호 처리 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 웨이블릿 변환을 이용한 센서노드에서의 에너지 효율적 특징추출을 수행하고 각 센서 노드간의 특징 전송을 통해 표적의 위치를 추정한다.
