This paper investigates the performance of a hybrid single input multiple output radio frequency/free-space optics (SIMO-RF/FSO) communication system. Each SIMO-RF link is modeled as an independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) Rayleigh distribution, while the FSO link follows a generalized $M{\acute{a}}laga$ (M) distribution. Considering the fixed gain amplify-and-forward (AF) relay and misalignment errors, novel expressions for the outage probability (OP), average bit error rate (ABER) and average capacity are derived. Numerical results show that atmospheric turbulence and misalignment errors can seriously impair the system performance, and the hybrid RF/FSO communication system using SIMO-RF links can greatly improve system performance. We also analyze system performance under different types of modulation schemes. Numerical results are verified by Monte Carlo simulations.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of an amplify-and-forward (AF) two-way relaying system, where two sources exchange information via the aid of an intermediate relay that is selected among multiple relays according to max-min criterion. We consider a practical scenario, where one source-relay link undergoes Rician fading, and the other source-relay link is subject to Rayleigh fading. To be specific, we derive a tight lower bound for the outage probability. From this lower bound, the asymptotic outage probability and average symbol error rate (SER) expressions are derived to gain insight into the system performance at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region. Furthermore, we investigate the optimal power allocation (PA) with fixed relay location (RL), optimal RL with fixed PA and joint optimization of PA and RL to minimize the outage probability and average SER. The analytical expressions are verified through Monte Carlo simulations, where the positive impact of Rician factor on the system performance is also illustrated. Simulation results also validate the effectiveness of the proposed PA and relay positioning schemes.

본 논문에서는 two-way 릴레이 네트워크에서 파일롯(pilot)기반 채널 추정 기법과, 전송시 데이터 심볼과 함께 파일롯 심볼을 전송하는 기법을 제안한다. 채널상태정보(channel state information : CSI)가 없는 경우, destination은 파일롯 심볼을 사용해 채널을 추정한다. 이 시스템에서 릴레이는 파일롯 심볼과 데이터 심볼을 증폭하고 AF(amplify and forward)프로토콜을 사용하여 destination에 전송한다. 릴레이 이득이 고정되어 있어서 릴레이는 채널을 추정할 필요가 없기 때문에 destination이 채널을 추정한다. 이 채널 추정에는 이미 잘 알려진 LS(least-square)와 MMSE(minimum mean-square error)를 사용하였다.

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.

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.
