본 논문에서는 수신 노드의 수가 증가하고 전달 제한 시간이 있는 브로드캐스트 센서 네트워크에서 아웃티지 확률을 감소시킬 수 있는 다중 홉 중계 방식을 제안한다. 패킷을 수신한 여러 개의 노드들이 분산 빔 형성 기법과 같이 동시에 패킷을 전송하는 다중 홉 중계 방식을 고려한다. 그리고 제한된 전달시간 내에서 패킷을 전송하는 데에 소모되는 평균 에너지 제한 조건을 만족 시키면서 패킷 수신에 성공한 모든 노드가 중계 노드로 동작하기 위한 채널 접속제어 기법과 송신 전력 제어 방식을 제안한다. 그리고 센서 네트워크 구축에 사용되는 지그비 기술의 다중 홉 브로드캐스트 중계 방식인 플러딩 기법과 비교하여 제안하는 방식의 아웃티지 확률이 더 낮아지고 평균 총 수신 전송률은 증가하게 되는 것을 실험을 통해서 보인다.

본 논문은 N 통신노드들이 다중 안테나 비재생 릴레이국의 협력으로 서로 데이터를 교환하는 다중방향 릴레이 시스템을 제안한다. 기존의 단방향 릴레이를 적용한 다중방향 통신의 경우 2N 전송 단계가 필요하나 제안하는 다중방향 릴레이 시스템은 단일 다중접속 단계와 N-1 방송 단계로 구성된 총 N 전송 단계만 필요로 한다. 특히 효율적인 방송 단계 전송을 위해 통신노드들을 쌍을 짓고 쌍이 아닌 통신노드들에게 간섭을 주지 않는 새로운 릴레이 빔형성 행렬과 통신노드 자가간섭 소거기를 제안한다. 평균 합 전송률로 성능을 평가한 결과, 제안 기법이 기존 기법의 성능을 향상시키며 그 이득은 릴레이 노드 안테나 수와 통신노드 수가 비슷할 때 더 커짐을 볼 수 있다. 이러한 제안 기법은 여러 선박간의 정보를 공유할 필요가 있는 해양 통신 환경에서 통신 거리를 확장하는 데 효과적으로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Coordinated multi-point transmission is a candidate technique for next-generation cellular communications systems. We consider a system with multiple cells in which base stations coordinate with each other by sharing user channel state information, which mitigates inter-cell interference (ICI), especially for users located at the cell edge. We introduce a new user scheduling method that considers both ICI and intra-cell orthogonality. Due to the influence of ICI cancellation and the loss reduction of effective channel gain during the beamforming process, the proposed method improves the system sum rate, when compared to the conventional method, by an average of 0.55bps/Hz for different numbers of total users per cell.

Coordinated multi-point transmission (CoMP) is a candidate technique for next generation cellular communications systems. One of the primary elements discussed in LTE-Advanced technology is CoMP, which can improve cell edge user data rate as well as spectral efficiency due to multiple input multiple output - orthogonal frequency division multiplex (MIMO-OFDM). We consider a system with multiple cells in which base stations coordinate with each other by sharing user channel state information (CSI), which mitigates inter cell interference (ICI), especially for users located at the cell edge. We introduce a new user scheduling method of ICI cancellation and the loss reduction of effective channel gain during the beamforming process, the proposed method improves the system sum rate, when compared to the conventional method by an average of 0.55bps/Hz in different number of total users per cell. It also outperforms the conventional method by approximately 0.38bps/Hz using different SNRs.

In this paper, an efficient retransmission scheme using cooperation from neighboring nodes is investigated. In the cooperative retransmission scheme, an erroneous packet is retransmitted to the destination by cooperative nodes where distributed beamforming is used to accommodate multiple cooperating nodes. A Markov model is used to analyze throughput efficiency and average delay of the proposed retransmission scheme. It is shown that the analytical results are well matched with the simulated results and improved throughput and delay performance can be achieved as compared to the traditional retransmission scheme. The performance of the proposed cooperative retransmission is investigated in the multi-hop configuration via computer simulation. The transmit power for retransmission packet is also investigated and it can be significantly reduced by using a small feedback channel.

In wireless X networks where all transmitters send the independent messages to all receivers, the theoretical bound on the degrees of freedom (DOF) and interference alignment (IA) scheme for its achievability are given by Cadambe and Jafar [1]. However, IA scheme for wireless X network may be infeasible in practice unless the transmitters have the perfect channel information. In addition, if the transmitter with single antenna uses time-varying channel coefficients as a beamforming vector, the infinite channel extension is required to achieve the theoretical bound on the DOF of wireless X networks with perfect IA scheme. In this paper, we consider K-user MIMO X network where K transmitters and K receivers have M antennas each. While the beamforming vectors have been constructed with multiple channel uses over multiple time slot in the earlier work, we consider the beamforming vectors constructed only by a spatial signature over unit time. Accordingly the channel information at the transmitters can be available instantaneously. Then we propose the perfect IA scheme with no channel extension. Based on our sum-rate analysis and the simulation results, we confirm that our proposed scheme can achieve MK/2 DOF which is quite close to the theoretical bound on the DOF region of wireless X networks.

In this paper, we consider secure communications in multi-hop relaying systems, where multiple decode-and-forward (DF) relays are located at each individual hop and perform cooperative beamforming to improve physical layer security. In order to determine the cooperative relay beamformer at each hop, we propose an iterative beamformer update scheme using semidefinite relaxation and bisection techniques. Numerical results are presented to verify the secrecy rate performance of the proposed scheme.

The sum-rate capacity of multi-antenna broadcast channels recently has attracted much research interests. However, those effort mainly has focused on a single-cell system. In this paper, we consider a multi-cell system where a transmitter uses zero-forcing beamforming with multiple antennas. We select a linear zero-forcing weight that maximizes the sum-rate when intercell interference exists. With numerical investigation, we will show the sum-rate gain achieved by the proposed method gets larger when the number of interfering cells increases.

In this paper, we propose the adaptive beamforming algorithm for the MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Out)-OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Access)system to improve the performance. The performance of MIMO-OFDMA systems is greatly decreased in the wireless channel environment with multiusers, because the received signals are much distorted by a cochannel interference (CCI) during the space-time decoding. The proposed approach can track the DOA of each signal from the multiple antennas of the desired user without being greatly dependent on the impinging angle. And beams are directed toward the multiple transmitters of the desired user while null beams are directed toward interference directions. Therefore, we can can effectively cancel CCI and mitigate the impairment of delay spread while preserving the STC(space time code) diversity. BER performance improvement is investigated through computer simulation by applying the proposed approach to MIMO-OFDMA system in a multipath fading channel with CCI.
