In this paper, we consider a two-way relay (TWR) system, where two user nodes exchange their information within two transmission phases, by the help of a relay node adopting physical layer network coding. In the system, two users transmit their binary phase shift keying symbols simultaneously in the first phase, and the relay node decodes the XORed version of two user data and broadcasts it back to two users in the second phase. The performance of the system is analyzed in terms of the average end-to-end symbol error probability in Nakagami-m fading channels, for which a tight upper bound is derived in a closed form to provide an accurate and handy estimate on the performance. The results show that our upper bounds are almost indistinguishable from simulation results for various channel and system configurations. In addition, the optimal relay location and power allocation for various conditions can be obtained quickly with our analysis.

In this paper, we consider a two way relay network for ship-to-ship communications in a fleet, where two communicating ships exchange the information with the help of a multi-antenna relay ship. For the network, we propose a rate-aware three-phase analog network coding to improve the reliability of the information exchange with asymmetric rates. The proposed scheme allows low-complex implementation of the relay without channel estimation by generating an improved analog network coded signal with the orthogonally received signals from two ships by using only the received signal power at each antenna. In addition, the proposed scheme reduces outages in the data exchange at asymmetric rates by adopting a rate-aware relay power allocation, which is confirmed by evaluating the outage performance via simulation.

In this paper, a receive diversity combining technique is proposed for single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA)-based cooperative relay systems when discrete Fourier transform (DFT) spreading sizes for mobile station (MS) and relay station (RS) are different. The proposed technique is composed of a DFT spreading size adjustment block, a phase rotation compensation block, a channel phase compensation block, and a receive diversity combining block. The proposed technique is robust to multipath channels and can be operated with a relatively small computational complexity because receive diversity combining is performed with scalar operations in the frequency-domain. It is shown by computer simulation that the proposed receive diversity combining techniques achieve a performance gain over the conventional maximal ratio combining (MRC) techniques for SC-FDMA-based cooperative relay systems.

With vast amounts of spectrum available in the millimeter wave (mmWave) band, small cells at mmWave frequencies densely deployed underlying the conventional homogeneous macrocell network have gained considerable interest from academia, industry, and standards bodies. Due to high propagation loss at higher frequencies, mmWave communications are inherently directional, and concurrent transmissions (spatial reuse) under low inter-link interference can be enabled to significantly improve network capacity. On the other hand, mmWave links are easily blocked by obstacles such as human body and furniture. In this paper, we develop a multi-hop relaying transmission (MHRT) scheme to steer blocked flows around obstacles by establishing multi-hop relay paths. In MHRT, a relay path selection algorithm is proposed to establish relay paths for blocked flows for better use of concurrent transmissions. After relay path selection, we use a multi-hop transmission scheduling algorithm to compute near-optimal schedules by fully exploiting the spatial reuse. Through extensive simulations under various traffic patterns and channel conditions, we demonstrate MHRT achieves superior performance in terms of network throughput and connection robustness compared with other existing protocols, especially under serious blockage conditions. The performance ofMHRT with different hop limitations is also simulated and analyzed for a better choice of the maximum hop number in practice.

The prompt and accurate location determination of the nodes of the wireless indoor shipboard networks is crucial to forming the stable wireless shipboard sensor networks. To this end in this paper it can be achieved through the measurement of the bi-directional channel qualities among the nodes after the locations of the sensor nodes temporarily placed. For the 1st stage the piconet-type sensor networks are considered to measure the channel qualities between a specific node and the cluster node which is the master node. After finishing the 1st stage measurement the nodes needing the relay nodes are selected and the measurement action goes into the 2nd stage. In the 2nd stage the measurement between a candidate relay node and the node needing a relay node starts to begin. After the 2nd stage the relay nodes to connect to the cluster node are fixed and the information delivery paths between a node and the cluster head are established. In this paper the measurement results in the realistic environment are gathered and analysed to show that the measurement procedure can be applied in the wireless indoor shipboard networks.

The Wireless Mesh Network uses a wireless communication technology with transmission rates similar to that of a cable, which is used as a backbone network. The topology structure is in a Mesh form which resembles an Ad-hoc network, however a metric is needed in order to set the channel and channel methods since the operation intentions and interior motions are different. This thesis proposes a metric(ETR : Expected Transmission Rate) that sets the channel with physical link performance and multi hop transmission capabilities. This metric will also be based on multi channel creation methods and Hop-by-hop routing techniques for an effective multi hop transmission with no loops.

In this paper, we consider network-coded bi-directional relaying (NCBR) schemes over an asymmetric channel, in which bi-directional links have the different channel quality, as well as the asymmetric traffic load. In order to deal with asymmetric nature, two different types of NCBR schemes are considered: network coding after padding (NaP) and network coding after fragmentation (NaF). Even if NaP has been known as only a useful means of dealing with the asymmetry in traffic load up to now, our analysis shows that its gain can be significantly lost by the asymmetry in channel quality, under the given bit error performance constraint. Furthermore, it is shown that NaF always outperforms NaP, as well as traditional bi-directional relaying scheme.

Considering a dual-hop energy-harvesting (EH) relaying system, this paper advocates novel relaying protocols based on adaptive time power switching-based relaying (AR) architecture for amplify-and-forward (AF) mode. We introduce novel system model relaying network with impacts of co-channel interference (CCI) and derive analytical expressions for the average harvested energy, outage probability, and the optimal throughput of the information transmission link, taking into account the effect of CCI from neighbor cellular users. In particular, we consider such neighbor users procedure CCI both on the relay and destination nodes. Theoretical results show that, in comparison with the conventional solutions, the proposed model can achieve optimal throughput efficiency for sufficiently small threshold SNR with condition of reasonable controlling time switching fractions and power splitting fractions in concerned AR protocol. We also explore impacts of transmission distances in each hop, transmission rate, the other key parameters of AR to throughput performance for different channel models. Simulation results are presented to corroborate the proposed methodology.

A method of digital transmission line protection using travelling wave is presented. It is shown that the fault current appears as a difference of two quantities associated with the travelling wave at each terminal. The phasor of these quantities are extracted and transmitted to the other end via communication channel to detect the line fault.

ATM을 근간으로한 초고속 정보 통신망은 융통성 및 효율성, 고속의 정보 전송 능력으로 인해 미래의 통신망으로 자리잡을 것으로 예상되며, 이와 같은 초고속 정보 통신망은 완전히 구축되기 전까지는 프레임릴레이 등과 같은 기존의 망들과 혼용해서 사용될 것이기 때문에 망 발전의 중간 단계에서 경제성이나 기술의 효용성 문제로 기본망과의 연동 연구는 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 교환 가상 채널(Switched Virtual Channel SVC) 기반의 제어평면 연동을 고려하여 프레임 릴레이와 ATM간의 신호 연동을 중심으로 망간 연동 프로토콜을 설계하고 검증하였다.
