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.

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.

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.

Advancements in nanotechnology and novel nano materials in the past decade have provided a set of tools that can be used to design and manufacture integrated nano devices, which are capable of performing sensing, computing, data storing and actuation. In this paper, we have proposed cooperative nano communication using Power Switching Relay (PSR) Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) protocol and Time Switching Relay (TSR) WPT protocol over independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh fading channels in the Terahertz (THz) Gap frequency band to increase the range of transmission. Outage Probability (OP) performances for the proposed cooperative nano communication networks have been evaluated for the following scenarios: A) A single decode-and-forward (DF) relay for PSR protocol and TSR protocol, B) DF multi-relay network with best relay selection (BRS) for PSR protocol and TSR protocol, and C) DF multi-relay network with multiple DF hops with BRS for PSR protocol and TSR protocol. The results have shown that the transmission distance can be improved significantly by employing DF relays with WPT. They have also shown that by increasing the number of hops in a relay the OP performance is only marginally degraded. The analytical results have been verified by Monte-Carlo simulations.

This paper considers a scenario that more D2D users exist in the cell, they compete for cellular resources to increase their own data rates, which may cause transmission interference to cellular users (CU) and the unfairness of resource allocation. We design a resource allocation scheme for selfish D2D users assisted by cooperative relay technique which is used to further enhance the users' transmission rates, meanwhile guarantee the QoS requirement of the CUs. Two transmission modes are considered for D2D users: direct transmission mode and cooperative relay transmission mode, both of which reuses the cellular uplink frequency resources. To ensure the fairness of resource distribution, Nash bargaining theory is used to determine the transmission mode and solve the bandwidth allocation problem for D2D users choosing cooperative relay transmission mode, and coalition formation game theory is used to solve the uplink frequency sharing problem between D2D users and CUs through a new defined "Selfish order". Through theoretical analysis, we obtain the closed Nash bargaining solution under CUs' rate constraints, and prove the stability of the formatted coalition. Simulation results show that the proposed resource allocation approach achieves better performance on resource allocation fairness, with only little sacrifice on the system sum rates.

In this paper, we investigate a security transmission scheme at the physical layer for cooperative wireless relay networks in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. While the security scheme has been previously investigated with perfect channel state information(CSI) in the presence of a passive eavesdropper, this paper focuses on researching the robust cooperative relay beamforming mechanism for wireless relay networks which makes use of artificial noise (AN) to confuse the eavesdropper and increase its uncertainty about the source message. The transmit power used for AN is maximized to degrade the signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) level at the eavesdropper, while satisfying the individual power constraint of each relay node and worst-case SINR constraint at the desired receiver under a bounded spherical region for the norm of the CSI error vector from the relays to the destination. Cooperative beamforming weight vector in the security scheme can be obtained by using S-Procedure and rank relaxation techniques. The benefit of the proposed scheme is showed in simulation results.

Cognitive radio is an efficient technique to improve spectrum efficiency and relieve the pressure of spectrum resources. In this paper, we investigate the spectrum sensing period in cooperative relay cognitive radio networks; analyze the relationship between the available capacity and the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signal of second users, the target probability of detection and the active probability of primary users. Finally, we derive the closed form expression of the optimal spectrum sensing period in terms of maximum throughput. We simulate the probability of false alarm and available capacity of cognitive radio networks and compare optimal spectrum sensing period scheme with fixed sensing period one in these performance. Simulation results show that the optimal sensing period makes the cognitive networks achieve the higher throughput and better spectrum sensing performance than the fixed sensing period does. Cooperative relay cognitive radio networks with optimal spectrum sensing period can achieve the high capacity and steady probability of false alarm in different target probability of detection. It provides a valuable reference for choosing the optimal spectrum sensing period in cooperative relay cognitive radio networks.

본 논문에서는 다수의 릴레이가 존재하는 협력 통신 환경에서 릴레이 노드들의 신뢰도 정보를 이용한 릴레이 선택 기법을 고려한다. 먼저, 신뢰도에 따라 릴레이 노드들이 송신단의 정보 전송을 도와주는 경우와 전송을 도와주지 않는 경우 모두를 고려한 정보 전송률의 기댓값을 유도한다. 다음으로 주어진 신뢰도 정보를 이용하여 수신단에서 달성 가능한 정보 전송률의 기댓값을 최대화하는 릴레이 선택 기법을 제안한다. 마지막으로 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안하는 릴레이 선택 기법이 릴레이 노드의 신뢰도 정보를 이용하지 않는 기존의 릴레이 선택 기법과 비교하여 더 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 보인다.

양방향 중계 채널 (two-way relay channel)은 2개의 노드가 중계기 (relay node)의 도움을 받아 상호간에 정보를 주고 받는 통신 채널이다. 양방향 중계 채널에서는 중계기가 동일 자원을 사용하여 두 사용자 노드로 신호를 송신하므로 기존 협력 통신 기법보다 효율적인 자원의 사용이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 양방향 중계 채널에서 네트워크 코딩을 이용한 새로운 분산 터보 부호 기법을 제시한다. 기존 기법과의 차이점은 중계 노드에서 네트워크 부호화를 처리하는 방식과 분산 터보 복호시 양 사용자 노드로부터 수신한 두 부호어를 처리하는 방법에 차이가 있다. 제안된 분산 터보 복호 기법을 이용하여 기존 기법 대비 시스템의 성능 향상을 확인하였으며 또한 채널 환경 변화에 따른 사용자 노드와 중계 노드의 전송 전력을 다르게 할당하여 시스템의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다는 것을 보인다.
