In this paper, we offer the secrecy outage probability of the amplify-and-forward (AF) transmission, which consists of one source, one destination, one relay, and one passive eavesdropper. Particularly, we consider that the relay is equipped with multiple antennas while other terminals is utilized with single antenna and apply diversity techniques (for both the reception and the transmission) at the relay to achieve gains in a secrecy outage performance. Additionally, we analyze the exact secrecy outage probability of the proposed systems in a one-integral form. Finally, some numerical examples are given to verify our provided analytical results for different system conditions.

Recently, efficient partial relay selection (e-PRS) was proposed as an enhanced version of PRS. In comparing e-PRS, PRS, and the best relay selection (BRS), there is a tradeoff between complexity and performance; that is, the complexity for PRS, e-PRS, and BRS is low to high, respectively, but vice versa for performance. In this paper, we study the outage probability for e-PRS in decode-and-forward (DF) relaying systems over non-identical Nakagami-m fading channels, where the fading parameter m is an integer. In particular, we provide closed-form expressions of the exact outage probability and asymptotic outage probability for e-PRS in DF relaying systems. Numerical results show that e-PRS achieves similar outage performance to that of BRS for a low or medium signal-to-noise ratio, a high fading parameter, a small number of relays, and a large difference between the average channel powers for the first and the second hops.

In this paper, we study a spectrum sharing network (SSN) where a spectrum sharing device (SSD) coexists with multiple wireless communication systems (WCSs) in the same channel. The SSD can operate with either a duty cycle (DC) channel access mechanism or a listen-before-talk (LBT) channel access mechanism, whereas WCSs operate with an LBT mechanism. An opportunistic channel selection scheme for the SSD in the SSN is first proposed to minimize the outage probability. The optimal data transmission time for the DC-based SSD is derived to further improve the outage probability. We also derive the exact and closed-form outage probability of the proposed channel selection in the SSN by assuming that the number of WCSs operating in each channel is uniformly distributed. The simulation results show that the proposed channel selection scheme outperforms other channel selection schemes. It was also observed that a DC-based SSD with an optimal data transmission time provides a better outage performance than an LBT-based SSD. As the number of available channels increases, the channel selection scheme plays an important role in minimizing the outage probability of the SSNs.

Since the invention of a novel diversity technique, namely a space-time line code (STLC), though the previous studies have theoretically analyzed the error rate and ergodic capacity, the outage probability has not been revealed yet. In this paper, we characterize the probability density function of the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio, and mathematically derive the closed-form expression of the outage probability. Based on numerical simulations, furthermore, we validate the accuracy of the mathematical analysis, and present the insight into the system design and implementation.

This paper studies relay selection and power allocation for amplify-and-forward (AF) based two-way relay networks (TWRN) with asymmetric traffic requirements (ATR). A joint relay selection and power allocation algorithm is proposed to decrease the outage probability of TWRN with ATR. In this algorithm, two sources exchange information with the help of the relay during two time slots. We first calculate the optimal power allocation parameters based on instantaneous channel state information (CSI), and then derive a tight lower bound of outage probability. Furthermore, we propose a simplified relay selection criterion, which can be easily calculated as harmonic mean of instantaneous channel gains, according to the outage probability expressions. Simulation results verified the theoretical analyses we presented. It is shown that the outage probability of our algorithm improves 3-4dB comparing with that of other existing algorithms, and the lower bound is tight comparing with actual value for the entire signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region.

In this paper, we propose a cooperative hybrid spectrum sharing protocol by jointly considering interweave (opportunistic) and underlay schemes. In the proposed protocol, secondary users can access the licensed spectrum along with the primary system. Our network scenario comprises a single primary transmitter-receiver (PTx-PRx) pair and a group of M secondary transmitter-receiver (STx-SRx) pairs within the transmission range of the primary system. Secondary transmitters are divided into two groups: active and inactive. A secondary transmitter that gets an opportunity to access the secondary spectrum is called "active". One of the idle or inactive secondary transmitters that achieves the primary request target rate $R_{PT}$ will be selected as a best decode-and-forward (DF) relay (Re) to forward the primary information when the data rate of the direct link between PTx and PRx falls below $R_{PT}$. We investigate the ergodic capacity and outage probability of the primary system with cooperative relaying and outage probability of the secondary system. Our theoretical and simulation results show that both the primary and secondary systems are able to achieve performance improvement in terms of outage probability. It is also shown that ergodic capacity and outage probability improve when the active secondary transmitter is located farther away from the PRx.

We consider a specific interference-limited wireless relay system that comprises several cooperation units (CUs) which are defined as a source and destination node pair with an associated relay node. In the wireless relay system, all source nodes simultaneously transmit their own signals and the relay node in each CU then forwards the received signal to the destination node, causing co-channel interference at both the relay node and the destination node in each CU. The co-channel interference at the relay node is closely related to that at the destination node in each CU. We first derive the end-to-end outage probability in a CU over Rayleigh slow-fading channels with interference for the decode-and-forward (DF) relaying strategy. Then, on the assumption that each CU is allocated with equal power we design an optimal power allocation between the source node and the relay node in each CU to minimize the outage probability of the investigated CU. At last, in the case that each CU is not allocated with equal power and the sum of their power is constrained, we present an optimal power allocation between CUs to minimize the sum of the outage probability of all CUs. The analytical results are verified by simulations.

The minimum duration outage probability of a cellular system is defined the probability that the received signal level is hold under minimum required threshold duration. This definition is more realistic compared to the outage probability which is the received signal strength level is below predefined threshold level. Especially, in a DS-CDMA cellular system the received signal-to-interference ratio is a function of cell traffic, while the former researches are only considered the minimum duration outage probability independent of the cell traffic. We noticed that the minimum outage probability is rapidly increases as cell traffic increase.

In this paper, we analyze the outage probability of full duplex relay (FDR) with decode-and-forward (DF) protocol is derived under fading channels. The fading channel for source-relay link is assumed to be Rician fading to consider the infrastructured fixed relay with line of sight (LOS) propagation, and the other fading channels are assumed to be Rayleigh fading. Based on this analytical result, we provide the criterion that FDR shows a lower outage probability than HDR to consider the interference problem and the resource efficiency improvement by full duplex (FD) operation. The accuracy of the analysis is confirmed throughout the simulation results.
