Cooperative relaying permits one or more relay to transmit a signal from the source to the destination, thereby increasing network coverage and spectral efficiency. The performance of cooperative relaying is often measured as outage probability. However, appropriate measure for the channel quality is outage capacity. Although the outage probability for cooperative relaying protocol has been analyzed before, very little research has been addressed for the outage capacity. This paper is the first of its kind to derive a closed-form analytical solution of outage capacity using fixed decode and forward relaying and amplify and forward relaying in dissimilar Rayleigh fading channels, considering channel coefficients known to the receiver side. The analytical results show a tradeoff between the SNR and the number of relays for specific outage capacity. A comparison between decode and forward relaying and amplify and forward relaying shows that decode and forward relaying outperforms amplify and forward relaying for a large number of relays.

In this paper, we evaluate performance of a hybrid decode-amplify-forward relaying protocol in underlay cognitive radio. In the proposed protocol, a secondary relay which is chosen by partial relay selection method helps a transmission between a secondary source and a secondary destination. In particular, if the chosen relay decodes the secondary source's signal successfully, it will forward the decoded signal to the secondary destination. Otherwise, it will amplify the signal received from the secondary source and will forward the amplified signal to the secondary destination. We evaluate the performance of our scheme via theory and simulation. Results show that the proposed protocol outperforms the amplify-and-forward and decode-and-forward protocols in terms of outage probability.

Cognitive radio has been recently considered a promising technology to improve spectrum utilization by enabling secondary access to licensed bands that are not used by primary users temporarily or spatially. A prerequisite to this secondary access is the lack of interference to the primary system. This requirement makes spectrum sensing a key process for cognitive radio. In this study, we consider amplify and forward (AF)-based cooperative spectrum sensing for cognitive radio networks where multiple relay nodes are utilized to amplify and forward the primary user signal for better spectrum sensing, and maximum ratio combining is used for fusion detection by a cognitive coordinator. Further, the detection probability and the bit error rate of AF-based cooperative spectrum sensing are analyzed in fading multiple cognitive relay channels. The simulation results show that the AF-based cooperative spectrum sensing scheme outperforms the conventional scheme.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid decode-amplify-forward incremental cooperative diversity protocol using SNR-based relay selection. In the proposed protocol, whenever destination unsuccessfully receives the source's signal, one of relays that exploit hybrid decode-amplify-forward technique is chosen to retransmit the signal. We derive approximate closed-form expressions of outage probability and average channel capacity. Monte-Carlo simulations are presented to verify the theoretical results and compare the performance of the proposed protocol with the direct transmission protocol and conventional incremental relaying protocols.

In this paper, we derive the theoretical Symbol Error Probability (SEP) of cooperative systems with best relay selection for Nakagami-m fading channels. For Amplify and Forward (AF) relaying, the selected relay offers the best instantaneous Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of the relaying link (source-relay-destination). In cooperative networks using Decode and Forward (DF), the selected relay offers the best instantaneous SNR of the link between the relay and the destination among the relays that have correctly decoded the transmitted information by the source. In the second part of the paper, we derive the SEP when all participating AF and DF relaying is performed. In the last part of the paper, we extend our results to cognitive radio networks where there is interference constraints : only relays that generate interference to primary receiver lower than a predefined threshold T can transmit. Both AF and DF relaying with and without relay selection are considered.

양방향 중계 채널에서는 중계기가 복호 후 재전송 혹은 증폭 후 재전송 프로토콜을 기반으로 두 사용자에게 네트워크 부호화된 신호를 전송한다. 이러한 양방향 중계 채널 시스템에서 신호 대 잡음비(SNR)가 낮은 환경에서는 복호 후 재전송 프로토콜이 최대 전송량을 가지고, 신호 대 잡음비가 높은 환경에서는 증폭 후 재전송 프로토콜이 최대 전송량을 가진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 양방향 중계 채널에서 중계기가 수신한 신호 대 잡음비에 따라 증폭 후 재전송(Amplify-and-Forward, AF) 혹은 복호 후 재전송(Decode-and-Forward, DF)프로토콜을 결정하는 능동적인 전송 기법을 제안하였다. 전송 기법이 스위칭(switching)되는 최적의 임계값을 계산하였고, 제안하는 기법이 기존의 양방향 중계 채널에서의 전송 기법보다 우수한 전송량을 보임을 수식적인 결과를 통해 확인하였다.

A two-way relaying (TWR) system is analyzed, where two source terminals with unequal numbers of antennas exchange data via an amplify-and-forward relay terminal with a single antenna. In the system considered herein, the link quality between the sources and relay can generally be asymmetric due to the nonidentical antenna configuration, power allocation, and relay location. In such a general setup, accurate bounds on the average sum rate (ASR) are derived when beamforming or orthogonal space time block coding is employed at the sources. We show that the proposed bounds are almost indistinguishable from the exact ASR under various system configurations. It is also observed that the ASR performance of the TWR system with unequal numbers of source antennas is more sensitive to the relay location than to the power allocation.
