In this paper, we proposed a simple power allocation scheme to maximize network lifetime. To maximize network lifetime, it is important to allocate power fairly among nodes in a network as well as to minimize total transmitted power. In the proposed scheme, the allocated power is proportional to the residual power and also satisfies the required SNR at destination node. In this paper, we calculate power allocation in "amplify and forward" (AF) model. We evaluated the proposed power allocation scheme using extensive simulation and simulation results show that proposed power allocation obtains much longer network lifetime than the equal power allocation.

In this paper, we consider an amplify-and-forward (AF) full-duplex relay network (FDRN) using simultaneous wireless information and power transfer, where a battery-free relay node harvests energy from the received radio frequency (RF) signals from a source node and uses the harvested energy to forward the source information to destination node. The time-switching relaying (TSR) protocol is studied, with the assumption that the channel state information (CSI) at the relay node is imperfect. We deliver a rigorous analysis of the outage probability of the proposed system. Based on the outage probability expressions, the optimal time switching factor are obtained via the numerical search method. The simulation and numerical results provide practical insights into the effect of various system parameters, such as the time switching factor, the noise power, the energy harvesting efficiency, and the channel estimation error on the performance of this network. It is also observed that for the imperfect CSI case, the proposed scheme still can provide acceptable outage performance given that the channel estimation error is bounded in a permissible interval.

본 논문에서는 빔 성형(beamforming) 기술을 사용하는 릴레이 기반 셀룰러 네트웍에서, 순방향 링크 채널 상태에 대한 제한된 피드백 정보를 이용하여, 동시에 전송되는 송신기과 수신기 사이의 직접 링크(direct link)와 중계기(relay station)와 수신기 사이의 중계 링크(relaying link) 간의 간섭을 효과적으로 억제하는 간섭 회피(interference avoidance) 빔 성형 기술을 제안한다. 이를 위해 송신기는 빔 성형을 사용하여 한정된 공간으로만 직접링크 신호 전력을 전송하고, 송신기의 간섭 전력이 도달하지 않는 공간 영역에 위치한 릴레이들의 relaying을 허용함으로써, 효과적으로 직접 링크와 중계 링크간 간섭을 억제할 수 있는 충돌 회피(collision avoidance) 스케줄링 기술을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 간섭 회피 빔 성형 기술이 중계 링크의 전송 용량을 보장하면서 동시에 전송되는 직접 링크 전송 용량을 최대화 할 수 있음을 보인다.

Multi-hop relaying communications have great potentials in improving transmission performance by deploying relay nodes. The benefit is critically dependent on the accuracy of the channel state information (CSI) of all the transmitting links. However, the CSI has to be estimated. In this paper, we investigate the channel estimation problem in one-way multi-hop MIMO amplify-and-forward (AF) relay system, where both the two-hop and three-hop communication link exist. Traditional point-to-point MIMO channel estimation methods will result in error propagation in estimating relay links, and separately tackling the channel estimation issue of each link will lose the gain as part of channel matrices involved in multiple communication links. In order to exploit all the available gains, we develop a novel channel estimation model by structuring different communication links using the PARAFAC and PARATUCK2 tensor analysis. Furthermore, a two-stage fitting algorithm is derived to estimate all the channel matrices involved in the communication process. In particular, essential uniqueness is further discussed. Simulation results demonstrate the advantage and effectiveness of the proposed channel estimator.

It is widely observed that in practical wireless cooperative communication systems, different links may experience different fading characteristics. In this paper, we investigate into the outage probability and channel capacity of two-way amplify-and-forward (TWAF) relaying systems operating over a mixed asymmetric Rician and Rayleigh fading scenario, with different amplification policies (AP) adopted at the relay, respectively. As TWAF relay network carries concurrent traffics towards two opposite directions, both end-to-end and overall performance metrics were considered. In detail, both uniform exact expressions and simplified asymptotic expressions for the end-to-end outage probability (OP) were presented, based on which the system overall OP was studied under the condition of the two source nodes having non-identical traffic requirements. Furthermore, exact expressions for tight lower bounds as well as high SNR approximations of channel capacity of the considered scenario were presented. For both OP and channel capacity, with different APs, effective power allocation (PA) schemes under different constraints were given to optimize the system performance. Extensive simulations were carried out to verify the analytical results and to demonstrate the impact of channel asymmetry on the system performance.

A novel distributed compress-and-forward (CF) system based on multi-relay network is presented. In this system, as the direct link between the source and destination is invalid due to some reasons, such as the limited power, special working environment, or even economic factors, relays are employed to receive analog signals and carry on distributed compressed encoding. Subsequently, the digital signals are transmitted to the destination via wireless channel. Moreover, a theoretical analysis for the system is provided by utilizing the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) theory and Shannon channel capacity theory, and the rate-distortion function as well as the connection between the transmission rate and the channel capacity are constructed. In addition, an optimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) -based power allocation method is proposed to maximize the quantization SNR under the limited total power. Simulation result shows that the proposed CF system outperforms the amplify-and-forward (AF) system versus the SNR performance.

요 약 네트워크에 속한 중계기들을 이용하여 다이버시티 이득을 얻는 협력 중계기법은 송신단으로부터 전송된 신호와 중계기로부터 전송된 신호를 수신하는 수신단에서는 신호를 수신하는 방법에 따라 고정형 중계기법과 증분형 중계기법으로 나뉜다. 네트워크에 속한 노드들 중 송신단과 수신단이 PU(Primary User)이고, 나머지 노드가 SU(Secondary User)일 경우 송신단이 신호를 전송하지 않는 동안 네트워크에 속한 노드들은 중계기로서 PU인 송신단과 수신단 간의 통신을 도울 수 있다. 그러나 모든 2차 사용자가 중계기로서 통신에 참여하게 되면 수신단에서 수신하는 신호가 증가하여 높은 차수의 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있지만 불필요한 시간슬롯을 소비하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 네트워크에 속한 SU 중 스펙트럼 홀의 검출에 성공한 노드 중 최상의 채널을 가지는 하나의 SU를 선택하여 선택된 SU만이 수신단으로 신호를 전송하는 협력 중계기법의 성능을 분석한다. 시스템의 성능 분석은 Matlab를 이용하였으며 다양한 중계기법의 성능 분석을 위해 AF, DF, 고정형 중계기법, 증분형 중계기법을 고려하였다.

Power-line communication (PLC) has influenced smart grid development. In addition, PLC has also been instrumental in current research on internet-of-things (IoT). Due to the implementation of PLC in smart grid and IoT environments, strides have been made in PLC and its combination with the wireless system to form a hybrid communication system. Also, PLC has evolved from a single-input-single-output (SISO) configuration to multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) configuration system, and from a point-to-point communication system to cooperative communication systems. In this work, we extend a MIMO wireless two-way amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative communication system to a hybrid PLC and wireless (PLC/W) system configuration. We then maximize the weighted sum-rate for the hybrid PLC/W by optimizing the precoders at each node within the hybrid PLC/W system. The sum-rate problem was found to be non-convex, therefore, an iterative algorithm is used to find the optimal precoders that locally maximize the system sum-rate. For our simulation results, we compare our proposed hybrid PLC/W configuration to a PLC only and wireless only configuration at each node. Due to an improvement in system diversity, the hybrid PLC/W configuration outperformed the PLC only and wireless only system configurations in all simulation results presented in this paper.

최근 무선트래픽 수요가 폭발적으로 증가하면서 셀룰라 무선망에서 이를 효율적으로 지원하기 위한 스몰셀 연구가 활발히 수행중이다. 본 논문은 스몰셀 구현의 가장 큰 걸림돌인 다중셀 간섭을 효율적으로 해결하기 위한 간섭상쇄 기법에 대해 연구하였다. 각 사용자의 메시지가 기지국 혹은 릴레이를 통하여 전달되는 경우, 무선채널의 시변특성을 이용한 간섭상쇄 기법을 제안하였다. Amplify-and-forward (AF) 에 기반한 기존 접근방식은 잡음증폭 특성으로 인하여 신호대잡음비가 낮은 영역에서는 심한 성능열화를 보였다. 본 논문은 최근 개발된 compute-and-forward (CF) 에 기반한 간섭상쇄를 제안하여 이러한 문제를 해결하고 신호대잡음비가 작은 영역에서 전송율을 크게 개선하였다.

In this paper, the performance of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) dual-hop (DH) amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying networks is investigated, where Nakagami-m fading channel is considered. In order to cover more details, in our analysis, the transceiver hardware impairments at source, relay and destination nodes are comprehensively considered. To characterize the effects of hardware impairments brought in NOMA DH AF relaying networks, the analytical closed-form expressions for the exact outage probability and approximate ergodic sum rate are derived. In addition, the asymptotic analysis of the outage probability and ergodic sum rate at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime are carried out in order to further reveal the insights of the parameters for hardware impairments on the network performance. Simulation results indicate the performance of asymptotic ergodic sum rate are limited by levels of distortion noise.
