본 논문에서는 다수의 릴레이(Relay)가 존재하는 환경에서 네트워크 부호화 기반 양방향 중계기 통신의 릴레이 선택 기법을 제안한다. 양방향 중계기 통신은 두 사용자가 릴레이의 도움을 받아 서로의 데이터를 교환하는 통신 방법이다. 네트워크 부호화 기반 양방향 중계기 통신은 기존의 양방향 통신에 비해 데이터 전송에 필요한 시간을 줄임으로써 더 높은 전송량을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다수의 릴레이가 존재하는 환경을 고려하며, 순시 신호 대 잡음비를 기준으로 최대의 성능을 가지는 릴레이를 선택하는 방법을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안한 릴레이 선택 기법이 릴레이 개수에 따른 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있음을 보인다.

Streaming server is that an image produced in real time or a file form of image produced ahead consists of SNS service, and the relay module of streaming server includes output management module that set an output channel more than 2 and control transmission of video content. This thesis intends to suggest how to stream through plural output channel that contains output channel of external streaming server using relay module and do streaming provided to terminal receiving image, and streaming server, streaming system for this. Thus, by extending output channel sending out image to output channel of external streaming server, the scale of streaming server is not limited and the process allotting external streaming server into output channel sending the image becomes simple, so management of output channel becomes efficient even when sending several images.

In this paper, we propose a packet scheduling algorithm for cellular relay networks by considering relay selection, variation of channel quality, and packet delay. In the networks, mobile users are equipped with not only cellular but also user relaying radio interfaces, where base station exploits adaptive high speed downlink channel. Our proposed algorithm selects a user with good cellular channel condition as a relay station for other users with bad cellular channel condition but can get access to relay link with good quality. This can achieve flexible packet scheduling by adjusting transmission rates of cellular link. Packets are scheduled for transmission depending on scheduling indexes which are calculated based on user's achieved transmission rate, packet utility, and proportional fairness of their throughput. The performance results obtained by using computer simulation show that the proposed scheduling algorithm is able to achieve high network capacity, low packet loss, and good fairness in terms of received throughput of mobile users.

In this paper, we propose a new channel estimation scheme for amplify and forward cooperative diversity with relay selection. In order to select best relay, it is necessary to know channel state information (CSI) at the destination. Most of the previous works, however, assume that perfect CSI is available at the destination. In addition, when the number of relay is increased it is difficult to estimate CSI through all relays within coherence time of a channel because of the large amount of frame overhead for channel estimation. In a proposed channel estimation scheme, each terminal has distinct pilot signal which is orthogonal each other. By using orthogonal property of pilot signals, CSI is estimated over two pilot signal transmission phases so that frame overhead is reduced significantly. Due to the orthogonal property among pilot signals, estimation error does not depend on the number of relays. Simulation result shows that the proposed channel estimation scheme provides accurate CSI at the destination.

A MIMO multi-way relay channel with full data exchange in which K users exchange messages with each other via the help of a single relay is considered. For the case in which each link is quasi-static Rayleigh fading and the relay is full-duplex, the fundamental diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) is investigated, and we show that a compress-and-forward relay protocol can achieve the optimal DMT.

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.

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.

The bi-directional relay channel is the natural extension of a three-terminal relay channel where node a transmits to node b with the help of a relay r to allow for two-way communication between nodes a and b. That is, in a bi-directional relay channel, a and b wish to exchange independent messages over a shared channel with the help of a relay r. The rates at which this communication may reliably take place depend on the assumptions made on the relay processing abilities. We overview information theoretic limits of the bi-directional relay channel under a variety of conditions, before focusing on half-duplex nodes in which communication takes place in a number of temporal phases (resulting in protocols), and nodes may forward messages in four manners. The relay-forwarding considered are: Amplify and forward (AF), decode and forward (DF), compress and forward (CF), and mixed forward. The last scheme is a combination of CF in one direction and DF in the other. We derive inner and outer bounds to the capacity region of the bi-directional relay channel for three temporal protocols under these four relaying schemes. The first protocol is a two phase protocol where a and b simultaneously transmit during the first phase and the relay r alone transmits during the second. The second protocol considers sequential transmissions from a and b followed by a transmission from the relay while the third protocol is a hybrid of the first two protocols and has four phases. We provide a comprehensive treatment of protocols in Gaussian noise, obtaining their respective achievable rate regions, outer bounds, and their relative performance under different SNR and relay geometries.

In this paper, we propose an iterative transceiver design in a multi-relay multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. The design criterion is to minimize sum mean squared error (SMSE) under relay sum power constraint (RSPC) where only local channel state information (CSI)s are available at relays. Local CSI at a relay is defined as the CSI of the channel between BS and the relay in the $1^{st}$ hop link, and the CSI of the channel between the relay and all users in the $2^{nd}$ hop link. Exploiting BS transmitter structure which is concatenated with block diagonalization (BD) precoder, each relay's precoder can be determined using local CSI at the relay. The proposed scheme is based on sequential iteration of two stages; stage 1 determines BS transmitter and relay precoders jointly with SMSE duality, and stage 2 determines user receivers. We verify that the proposed scheme outperforms simple amplify-and-forward (SAF), minimum mean squared error (MMSE) relay, and an existing good scheme of [13] in terms of both SMSE and sum-rate performances.

This paper considers the effect of co-channel interference on hybrid satellite-terrestrial relay network. In particular, we investigate the problem of amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying in hybrid satellite-terrestrial link, where the relay is interfered by multiple co-channel interferers. The direct link between satellite and terrestrial destination is not available due to masking by surroundings. The destination node can only receive signals from satellite with the assistance of a relay node situated at ground. The satellite-relay link is assumed to follow the shadowed Rice fading, while the channels of interferer-relay and relay-destination links experience Nakagami-m fading. For the considered AF relaying scheme, we first derive the analytical expression for the moment generating function (MGF) of the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). Then, we use the obtained MGF to derive the average symbol error rate (SER) of the considered scenario for M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) constellation under these generalized fading channels.
