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.

This paper studies the secrecy capacity for a wireless cooperative network with perfect channel state information at the relays, and receiver. A similar assumption is also made for the instance where there exist a direct link between the transmitter and receiver. Physical Layer security techniques are employed in wireless networks to mitigate against the activity of eavesdroppers. It offers a viable alternative to computationally intensive encryption. In this paper the design of a protocol utilizing jamming (via jamming nodes) for better security and relaying (via relay nodes) for the amplify-and-forward (AF) operation, is investigated. A a signal-to-noise variant of secrecy known as secrecy gap is explored because of its use of lesser computational power - preferable for practical systems. Thus we maximize this signal-to-noise approach instead of the conventional secrecy capacity maximization method. With this, an iterative algorithm using geometric programming (GP) and semi-definite programming (SDP) is presented with appreciable benefits. The results show here highlight the benefits of using fractional components of the powers of the relays to offer better secrecy capacity.

본 논문에서는 OFDM 기반의 다중 증폭 후 전달(amplify and forward, AF) 릴레이 시스템에서 낮은 복잡도를 가지는 부반송파 페어링(pairing) 기법을 소개한다. 기지국에서 릴레이스테이션까지의 채널(첫 번째 홉)과 릴레이 스테이션에서 이 동국까지의 채널(두 번째 홉)은 서로 독립적이라고 가정한다. 이 가정 하에서 첫 번째 홉에서 특정 부 반송파로 전송된 신호는 시스템 용량 증가를 위해 두 번째 홉에서는 다른 부반송파로 전송될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기법을 부반송파 페어링 기법이라고 언급한다. 기존의 페어링 기법은 시스템 용량을 최대화 하는 최적의 페어링을 찾기 위해 가능한 모든 페어링을 무차별적으로 대입하였다 (brute force 탐색 기법). 이러한 기법은 최적(optimal)의 페어링은 찾을 수 있으나, 복잡도가 부반송파 개수의 지수 승으로 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 첫 번째 홉과 두 번째 홉을 채널 이득을 이용하여 후보 페어링을 구한 후, 후보 페어링의 이동국 수신 SNR(signal to noise ratio)의 값을 이용하여 최종 페어링을 구하는 부 최적 (sub-optimal) 페어링 기법을 소개한다. 실험 결과 제안한 페어링 기법은 복잡도가 부반송파 개수의 선형적으로 증가하고, brute force 기법과 근사한 시스템 용량을 가짐을 확인하였다.

This paper investigates the error performance of the amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying systems in the context of full-duplex (FD) communication. In addition to the inherent self-interference (SI) due to simultaneous transmission and reception, coexistent FD terminals may cause crosstalk. In this paper, we utilize the information exchange via the crosstalk channel to construct a particular distributed space-time code (DSTC). The residual SI is also considered. Closed-form pairwise error probability (PEP) is first derived. Then we obtain the upper bound of PEP in high transmit power region to provide more insights of diversity and coding gain. The proposed DSTC scheme can attain full cooperative diversity if the variance of SI is not a function of the transmit power. The coding gain can be improved by lengthening the frame and proper power control. Feasibility and efficiency of the proposed DSTC are verified in numerical simulations.

본 논문에서는 송신단, 수신단, 중계 전송단에서 모두 다중 안테나를 가지고 양방향 중계 증폭 전송 방식으로 동작하는 통신 환경을 고려한다. 양방향 중계 전송에서 발생하는 자기 간섭을 한 쪽의 수신단에서는 제거할 수 있고, 다른 한 수신단에서는 제거할 수 없는 상황에서 최대 전송률을 보내기 위해 릴레이 구조를 최적화하는 것을 목표로 한다. 먼저 최대 전송률을 구하기 위하여 GD(gradient descent) 기반의 지역 최적화 알고리즘을 개발하고, 보다 간단한 구조를 가지는 특이값 분해(SVD: singular value decomposition) 기반의 블록 삼각화 방법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안하는 양방향 기법들이 기존의 양방향 방법에 비해 자기간섭 제거 기능이 없는 기기가 상용될 때 향상된 성능을 얻는다는 것을 보여준다.

In this paper, a joint destination-relay selection and antenna mode selection scheme for full-duplex (FD) relay network is investigated, which consists of one source node, N FD amplify-and-forward (AF) relays and M destination nodes. Multiple antennas are configured at the source node, and beamforming technique is adopted. Two antennas are employed at each relay, one for receiving and the other for transmitting. Only one antenna is equipped at each destination node. In the proposed scheme, the best destination node is firstly selected according to the direct links between the source node and destination nodes. Then the transmit and receive mode of two antennas at each relay is adaptively selected based on the relaying link condition. Meanwhile, the best relay with the optimal Tx/Rx antenna configuration is selected to forward the signals. To characterize the performance of the proposed scheme, the closed-form expression of the outage probability is derived; meanwhile, the simple asymptotic expressions are also obtained. Our analysis shows that the proposed scheme obtains the benefits of multi-relay diversity and multi-destination diversity. Moreover, extra space diversity in the medium SNR region can be achieved due to the antenna selection at the relay. Finally, Monte-Carlo simulations are provided to consolidate the analytical results, and show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
