In this paper, we propose a Cooperative Transmission Strategy using Entropy-based Relay Selection in Mobile Ad-hoc Wireless Sensor Networks(MAWSN) with Rayleigh Fading Environments. The main features and contributions of the proposed cooperative transmission strategy are as follows. First, entropy-based relay selection is used to improve data transmission reliability from a source node to a destination node. Second, we present a theoretical analysis model for the proposed cooperative transmission strategy with the outage probability of the end-to-end performance. The performance of our protocol is evaluated using analysis and simulation.

To serve the growing demand of the bidirectional information exchange, we propose a single relay selection (RS) scheme for physical-layer network coding (PNC) in a bidirectional cooperative network consisting of two sources and multiple relays. This RS scheme selects a single best relay by maximizing the bottleneck of the capacity region of both information flows in the bidirectional network. We show that the proposed RS rule minimizes the outage probability and that it can be used as a performance benchmark for any RS rules with PNC. We derive a closed-form exact expression of the outage probability for the proposed RS rule and show that it achieves full diversity gain. Finally, numerical results demonstrate the validity of our analysis.

Ad Hoc 네트워크는 이동통신망이나 AP (access point)와 통신하는 무선 랜과는 달리 유사한 특징을 가진 모든 단말들이 무선채널을 통해 직접 통신하는 좀 더 진화된 통신망이 라고 할 수 있다. Ad Hoc 네트워크에서 시스템 성능을 높이려는 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있는데 그 중의 하나가 Cooperative 통신이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Cooperative 통신을 실현할 수 있는 CO-MAC 프로토콜을 제안하고, 수학식을 사용하여 성능평가를 수행하였다. 도출된 성능평가 결과를 통해 IEEE 802.11 표준인 DCF 기법, 그리고 기존 연구에서 제안된 rDCF 기법과 성능비교를 통해 프레임 전송오류 확률이 증가할 때 시스템 처리량이 많이 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

This work investigates two important performance metrics of underlay cooperative cognitive radio (CR) networks: Interference cumulative distribution function of licensed users and outage probability of unlicensed users. These metrics are thoroughly analyzed in realistic operating conditions such as imperfect fading channel information and strict transmit power constraint, which satisfies interference power constraint and maximum transmit power constraint, over Nakagami-m fading channels. Novel closed-form expressions are derived and subsequently validated extensively through comparisons with respective results from computer simulations. The proposed expressions are rather long but straightforward to handle both analytically and numerically since they are expressed in terms of well known built-in functions. In addition, the offered results provide the following technical insights: i) Channel information imperfection degrades considerably the performance of both unlicensed network in terms of OP and licensed network in terms of interference levels; ii) underlay cooperative CR networks experience the outage saturation phenomenon; iii) the probability that the interference power constraint is satisfied is relatively low and depends significantly on the corresponding fading severity conditions as well as the channel estimation quality; iv) there exists a critical performance trade-off between unlicensed and licensed networks.

협력네트워크는 중계기를 이용하여 데이터를 전송함으로서 음영지역을 해소하고 가상의 다중입출력 구성을 통해 통신성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 송신기와 중계기 사이에서는 동기변조 방식을 이용하고 중계기와 수신기 사이에서는 차등변조 방식을 이용하는 부분차등변조 방식을 적용한 협력네트워크의 성능을 중계기의 위치에 따라 분석한다. 성능분석은 송신기와 수신기사이의 직접파가 존재하는 시스템과 존재하지 않는 시스템 두 가지를 고려하는데, 직접파는 차등변조 방식을 적용한다. 또한 전체시스템이 차등변조 방식을 이용했을 경우에 중계기 위치에 따른 성능을 부분차등변조 방식과 비교한다. 시스템의 성능은 송신기와 수신기 사이의 심벌오류율을 이용한다.

Cooperative communications and network coding schemes have been proposed to increase system throughput for ad hoc networks. In this paper, we present throughput and delay analysis of the new network coding-enabled cooperative MAC protocol called NC-MAC, which has been proposed by us in order to significantly enhance system performance. This protocol introduces an approach that can accommodate both cooperative communication and network coding for wireless ad hoc networks by slightly increasing overhead and modifying standards. The protocol's performance is evaluated using mathematical analysis and computer simulation and two performance measures, system throughput and average channel access delay, are used for a performance comparison with previous schemes. It is assumed that all the frames exchanged over a wireless channel are susceptible to transmission errors, which is a new but more reasonable assumption differentiating this research from previous research. Numerical results show this protocol provides significantly enhanced system performance compared with conventional cooperative MAC protocols used in previous research. For instance, system performance is 47% higher using the NC-MAC protocol than when using the rDCF protocol.

We propose new routing scheme, Cooperative Diversity-based Routing (CDR)which utilize the cooperative space diversity for power saving and for performance enhancement of wireless ad-hoc networks. The end-to-end performance of the proposed routing, CDR, is analyzed based on the Haenggi's link model. The improved performance is compared with Multi-hop Relay Routing (MRR) by analytical methods. When the required outage probability is $1{\times}10^{-3}$ at the destination node in ad-hoc networks with 7 nodes, we noticed that each node can save power consumption by 21.5 dB in average, by using our proposed CDR compared to MRR.

Spectral efficiency of current two-phase cooperative communications protocols is low since in the second time the relay forwards the same signal received from the source to the destination, the source keeps silent in this time. In this paper, we propose a novel cooperative communications protocol where the signal needed to transmit to the destination is sent in both phases, the source and the relay also transmit different signal to the destination thus no loss of spectral efficiency. This protocol performs signal selection based on log-likelihood ratio (LLR) at relay and maximum likelihood (ML) detection at destination. While existing protocols pay for a worse performance than direct transmission in the low SNR regime which is of special interest in ad hoc networks, ours is better over the whole range of SNR. In addition, the proposal takes advantages of bandwidth efficiency, long delay and interference among many terminals in ad hoc network. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol can significantly save total energy for wireless ad hoc networks.

This paper analyzes the nodes deployment optimization problem in energy constrained wireless sensor networks, which multi-hop cooperative beamforming (CB) based cooperative-multi-input-single-output (CMISO) transmission is adopted to reduce the energy consumption. Firstly, we establish the energy consumption models for multi-hop SISO, multi-hop DSTBC based CMISO, multi-hop CB based CMISO transmissions under random nodes deployment. Then, we minimize the energy consumption by searching the optimal nodes deployment for the three transmissions. Furthermore, numerical results present the optimal nodes deployment parameters for the three transmissions. Energy consumption of the three transmissions are compared under optimal nodes deployment, which shows that CB based CMISO transmission consumes less energy than SISO and DSTBC based CMISO transmissions. Meanwhile, under optimal nodes deployment, the superiorities of CB based CMISO transmission over SISO and DSTBC based CMISO transmissions can be more obvious when path-loss-factor becomes low.

혁신주도형 경제로의 전환 및 서비스업 중심의 경제 성장이 화두로 등장하면서 서비스업의 혁신, 특히 서비스업의 기술혁신에 대한 관심이 증대되었다. 본 연구는 서비스업의 기술혁신을 공간적인 관점에서 이해하고자 하였으며, 특히 기술혁신과정에서 협력메커니즘의 역할과 의미에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 분석 결과를 요약하면, 수도권과 지방 (비수도권)에는 업종과 기업규모에 무관하게 서비스업 기술혁신율에서 구조적인 차이가 존재했다. 하지만, 수도권 소계 기술혁신기업의 높은 기술혁신율은 외부기관과의 활발한 협력보다는 기업의 내적 혁신역량과 더욱 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 협력파트너의 유형별 특성 분석에서, 수도권 기업은 지방 기업에 비해 대부분의 협력파트너에 대해 기술혁신에 미치는 기여도를 높게 평가하고 있었지만, 지방의 기업은 기술혁신과정에서 대학 기관에 의존하는 정도가 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다. 협력파트너의 유형화와 유형별 기술혁신과의 관계에 관한 분석에서 수도권과 지방 기업 모두에게 민간 부문은 기술혁신 성공 여부에 영향을 미치는 주요 변수였으며, 공공 부문은 기술혁신의 성과로서 지적재산권을 출원할 수 있는지에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 요인으로 판명되었다.
