In this letter, non-regenerative Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relay systems based on half and full duplex schemes are investigated and their performance is analyzed and compared in terms of outage probability. Although the AF relay systems have been widely investigated in many previous literatures, most of them adopted a half duplex scheme due to hardware limitation and mathematical tractability. To the best of our knowledge, this letter is the first study to investigate the performance of the full duplex AF relay system considering practical hardware limitations. In full duplex AF relay systems, it is important to secure the isolation between transmit and receive antennas. Our numerical and simulation results show that there exists a threshold point of the isolation gain that the full duplex relay system outperforms the half duplex relay system.

본 논문은 스케줄링 기반 Ad-hoc Network에서의 Relay Network Protocol에 관한 것으로, Koinonia V2.0의 MAC Layer Protocol을 기반으로 Relay Network Protocol을 설계하였다. Ad-hoc Network 기반의 Relay Network Protocol은 단일 주파수 채널을 이용한 Relay Network Protocol과 듀얼 주파수 채널을 이용한 Relay Network Protocol이 있다. 전자는 하나의 모뎀 칩을 사용하여 시스템이 단순하고 전력소모가 적은 반면, 데이터 전송 속도가 낮아지고, 후자는 데이터 전송 속도에서 손해를 보지 않는 반면, 시스템이 복잡하고 전력소모가 많은 단점이 있다. 본 연구를 통해 Ad-hoc Network 기반의 Relay Network Protocol 구현에 대한 방법론을 제시할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a modified current differential relay for transformer protection unaffected by the remanent flux. The relay uses the same restraining current as a conventional relay, but the differential current is modified to compensate for the effects of the exciting current. To cope with the remanent flux, before saturation, the relay calculates the core-loss current and uses it to modify the measured differential current. When the core then enters saturation, the initial value of the flux is obtained by inserting the modified differential current at the start of saturation into the magnetization cure. Thereafter, the actual core flux is then derived and used in conjunction with the magnetization curve to calculate the magnetizing current. A modified differential current is then derived that compensates for the core-loss and magnetizing currents. The performance of the proposed differential relay was compared against a conventional differential relay. Results indicate that the modified relay remained stable during severe magnetic inrush and over-excitation because the exciting current was successfully compensated. This paper concludes by implementing the relay on a hardware platform based on a digital signal processor. The relay discriminates magnetic inrush and over-excitation from an internal fault and is not affected by the level of remanent flux.

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 proposes a modified current differential relay for $Y-{\Delta}$ transformer protection. The relay uses the same restraining current as a conventional relay, but the differential current is modified to compensate for the effects of the exciting current. A method to estimate the circulating component of the delta winding current is proposed. To cope with the remanent flux, before saturation, the core-loss current is calculated and used to modify the measured differential current. When the core then enters saturation, the initial value of the flux is obtained by inserting the modified differential current at the start of saturation into the magnetization cure. Thereafter, the core flux is then derived and used in conjunction with the magnetization curve to calculate the magnetizing current. A modified differential current is then derived that compensates for the core-loss and magnetizing currents. The performance of the proposed differential relay was compared against a conventional differential relay. Test results indicate that the modified relay remained stable during severe magnetic inrush and over-excitation, because the exciting current was successfully compensated. This paper concludes by implementing the relay on a hardware platform based on a digital signal processor. The relay does not require additional restraining signal and thus cause time delay of the relay.

This paper considers a cellular two-way relay network with one base station (BS), one relay station (RS), and two users. The two users are far from the BS and no direct links exist, and the two users exchange messages with the BS via the RS. A non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and network coding (NC)-based decode-and-forward (DF) two-way relaying (TWR) scheme TWR-NOMA-NC is proposed, which is able to reduce the number of channel-uses to three from four in conventional time-division multiple access (TDMA) based TWR approaches. The achievable sum-rate performance of the proposed approach is analyzed, and a closed-form expression for the sum-rate upper bound is derived. Numerical results show that the analytical sum-rate upper bound is tight, and the proposed TWR-NOMA-NC scheme significantly outperforms the TDMA-based TWR and NOMA-based one-way relaying counterparts.

With device-to-device (D2D) communications, an inactive user terminal can be utilized as a relay node to support multi-hop communication so that connective experience of the cell-edge user as well as the capacity of the whole system can be significantly improved. In this paper, we investigate the spectrum sharing for a cooperative relay assisted D2D communication underlying a cellular network. We formulate a joint relay selection and channel assignment problem to maximize the throughput of the system while guaranteeing the quality of service (QoS) requirements of cellular users (CUs) and D2D users (DUs). By exploiting coalition formation game theory, we propose two algorithms to solve the problem. The first algorithm is designed based on merge and split rules while the second one is developed based on single user's movement. Both of them are proved to be stable and convergent. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

본 논문에서는 이중 홉 증폭 후 전달(AF: Amplify-and-Forward) 릴레이 시스템에 대한 새로운 성능 분석 기법을 레일리 페이딩 채널에 대하여 제안한다. 기존의 분석 기법들에서는 S-R-D(Source-Relay-Destination) 링크의 수신 신호 대 잡음비(SNR: Signal-to-Noise Ratio)에 대한 누적 분포 함수(CDF: Cumulative Distribution Function) 혹은 확률 밀도 함수 (PDF: Probability Density Function)로부터 모멘트 발생 함수(MGF: Moment Generating Function)를 유도한 후 평균 심벌 오류율을 유도된 MGF를 이용하여 표현하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 분석과 다른 새로운 접근법을 제안한다. 즉, S-R(Source-Relay) 링크 및 R-D(Relay-Destination) 링크의 PDF들로부터 S-R-D 링크에 대한 MGF를 직접 유도한다. 그리고 새롭게 유도된 MGF을 기존의 연구들에서 제시한 형태와 비교 분석한다. 또한 제안된 성능분석 기법의 정확성은 모의실험을 통하여 검증한다. 이를 통하여 제안된 분석 기법이 이중 홉 증폭 후 전달 릴레이 시스템에 대한 새로운 해를 제시함을 확인한다.

본 논문에서는 OFDMA 기반 relay 시스템에서 throughput 성능개선을 위한, Base Station (BS)과 Relay Station (RS)의 sub-cell 커버리지 설정기법을 제안한다. Relay 시스템에서는 BS-RS 링크에서 무선 자원을 추가로 소비하므로, RS간 자원의 재사용을 고려하면 자원의 효과적 사용이 가능하다. 그러나, 이때 신호의 간섭이 증가하므로 단말기의 수신 Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 그리므로 본 연구에서는 자원 재사용 정도에 따른 사용가능 자원의 증가를 수신 SINR과 함께 sub-cell 커버리지 결정의 요인으로 함께 고려한다. 모의실험을 통한 결과분석을 통해 throughput 성능을 개선할 수 있는 sub-cell 커버리지를, 다양한 자원재사용 패턴에 따라 도출하였다.
