Cooperative relaying permits one or more relay to transmit a signal from the source to the destination, thereby increasing network coverage and spectral efficiency. The performance of cooperative relaying is often measured as outage probability. However, appropriate measure for the channel quality is outage capacity. Although the outage probability for cooperative relaying protocol has been analyzed before, very little research has been addressed for the outage capacity. This paper is the first of its kind to derive a closed-form analytical solution of outage capacity using fixed decode and forward relaying and amplify and forward relaying in dissimilar Rayleigh fading channels, considering channel coefficients known to the receiver side. The analytical results show a tradeoff between the SNR and the number of relays for specific outage capacity. A comparison between decode and forward relaying and amplify and forward relaying shows that decode and forward relaying outperforms amplify and forward relaying for a large number of relays.

본 논문에서는 시분할 반이중 릴레이 통신 시스템을 위한 추정 후 전달 (EF: Estimate and Forward) 릴레이 프로토콜을 제안한다. 기존의 EF 릴레이 프로토콜은 릴레이와 수신국 간 채널 상태가 좋을 때 적용할 수 있는 방식으로 릴레이의 위치가 송신국으로 이동할수록 성능 저하가 크다. 그러나 본 논문에서 제안하는 EF 릴레이 프로토콜은 릴레이에서의 양자화 및 송신국-릴레이 간의 전력 배분 등과 같은 동작 파라미터가 채널 상태 및 변조 차수에 따라 가변적으로 정해지므로 모든 릴레이 위치에 대해 기존의 방식에 비해 낮은 전송 오류율을 보이며 릴레이가 수신국으로부터 멀리 떨어져 있는 경우에도 낮은 전송 오류율을 보인다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안하는 방식은 릴레이의 위치가 수시로 변하는 이동 릴레이 시스템에 적합하다. 한편, 제안된 방식이 기존의 방식에 비해 모든 릴레이 위치에서 낮은 전송 오류율을 보임을 모의실험을 통해 확인하였다.

The deployment of an incremental hybrid decode-amplify and forward relaying scheme is a promising and superior solution for cellular networks to meet ever-growing network traffic demands. However, the selection of a suitable relaying protocol based on the signal-to-noise ratio threshold is important in realizing an improved quality of service. In this paper, an incremental hybrid relaying protocol is proposed using polar codes. The proposed protocol achieves a better performance than existing turbo codes in terms of capacity. Simulation results show that the polar codes through an incremental hybrid decode-amplify-and-forward relay can provide a 38% gain when ${\gamma}_{th(1)}$ and ${\gamma}_{th(2)}$ are optimal. Further, the channel capacity is improved to 17.5 b/s/Hz and 23 b/s/Hz for $2{\times}2$ MIMO and $4{\times}4$ MIMO systems, respectively. Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to achieve the optimal solution.

네트워크 부호화를 이용한 양 방향 중계 기법은 기존의 단 방향 중계 프로토콜보다 송신 시간을 줄임으로써 전송량을 높일 수 있는 장점을 가지며, 부호화 협력 프로토콜은 물리층에서 이루어지는 부호화를 적용한 알고리즘으로 프로토콜의 신뢰성을 높일 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 두 프로토콜의 장점을 결합한 양 방향 중계 네트워크에서의 부호화 협력 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 제안하는 프로토콜이 기존의 양 방향 증폭후 재전송 프로토콜보다 우수한 신뢰성과 전송량을 가지며, 기존의 양 방향 하이브리드 복호 후 재전송 프로토콜과 동일한 전송량을 가지면서 보다 우수한 신뢰성을 가짐을 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 증명한다.

In this paper, we propose a novel protocol called Cooperative Multi-hop transmission using Incremental Relaying (CMIR). We evaluate the performance of the CMIR protocol by deriving expressions for the average end-to-end outage probability and the average number of transmissions. Monte Carlo simulations are presented to verify the accuracy of the theoretical analyses.

In this paper, we propose a two-way relaying scheme using non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technology. In this scheme, two sources transmit packets with each other under the assistance of the decode-and-forward (DF) relays, called as a TWDFNOMA protocol. The cooperative relays exploit successive interference cancellation (SIC) technique to decode sequentially the data packets from received summation signals, and then use the digital network coding (DNC) technique to encrypt received data from two sources. A max-min criterion of end-to-end signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratios (SINRs) is used to select a best relay in the proposed TWDFNOMA protocol. Outage probabilities are analyzed to achieve exact closed-form expressions and then, the system performance of the proposed TWDFNOMA protocol is evaluated by these probabilities. Simulation and analysis results discover that the system performance of the proposed TWDFNOMA protocol is improved when compared with a conventional three-timeslot two-way relaying scheme using DNC (denoted as a TWDNC protocol), a four-timeslot two-way relaying scheme without using DNC (denoted as a TWNDNC protocol) and a two-timeslot two-way relaying scheme with amplify-and-forward operations (denoted as a TWANC protocol). Particularly, the proposed TWDFNOMA protocol achieves best performances at two optimal locations of the best relay whereas the midpoint one is the optimal location of the TWDNC and TWNDNC protocols. Finally, the probability analyses are justified by executing Monte Carlo simulations.

In this paper, we investigate a buffer-aided wireless powered cooperative communication network (WPCCN), in which the source and relay harvest the energy from a dedicated power beacon via wireless energy transfer, then the source transmits the data to the destination through the relay. Both the source and relay are equipped with an energy buffer to store the harvested energy in the energy transfer stage. In addition, the relay is equipped with a data buffer and can temporarily store the received information. Considering the buffer-aided WPCCN, we propose two buffer-aided relaying protocols, which named as the buffer-aided harvest-then-transmit (HtT) protocol and the buffer-aided joint mode selection and power allocation (JMSPA) protocol, respectively. For the buffer-aided HtT protocol, the time-averaged achievable rate is obtained in closed form. For the buffer-aided JMSPA protocol, the optimal adaptive mode selection scheme and power allocation scheme, which jointly maximize the time-averaged throughput of system, are obtained by employing the Lyapunov optimization theory. Furthermore, we drive the theoretical bounds on the time-averaged achievable rate and time-averaged delay, then present the throughput-delay tradeoff achieved by the joint JMSPA protocol. Simulation results validate the throughput performance gain of the proposed buffer-aided relaying protocols and verify the theoretical analysis.

협력 네트워크는 여러 중계기를 통해서 수신되는 신호 및 직접파 신호를 결합하여 복조함으로써 전체 통신성능을 향상시킨다. 본 논문에서는 철도환경에서 혼합 중계 프로토콜을 이용하는 협력통신 시스템의 성능을 분석한다. 송신기와 수신기 사이에 여러 개의 중계기 사용을 가정하고, 각 중계기들은 하나의 정해진 중계 프로토콜이 아닌 복조 후 전송 혹은 증폭 후 전송 프로토콜을 이용하는 경우를 고려한다. 두 가지 중계 프로토콜이 존재하는 경우 각 중계 프로토콜이 전체 시스템의 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 중계기 위치에 따른 성능에 대해서도 고려한다. 변조방식은 철도환경과 같은 빠른 채널변화에서도 채널상태정보의 이용 없이 신호의 복조가 가능한 차등변조 방식을 적용한다.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid decode-amplify-forward incremental cooperative diversity protocol using SNR-based relay selection. In the proposed protocol, whenever destination unsuccessfully receives the source's signal, one of relays that exploit hybrid decode-amplify-forward technique is chosen to retransmit the signal. We derive approximate closed-form expressions of outage probability and average channel capacity. Monte-Carlo simulations are presented to verify the theoretical results and compare the performance of the proposed protocol with the direct transmission protocol and conventional incremental relaying protocols.

We propose an incremental relaying protocol in conjunction with opportunistic communication for differential modulation with an aim to make efficient use of the degrees of freedom of the channels by exploiting a imited feedback signal from the destination. In particular, whenever the direct link from the source to the destination is not favorable to decoding, the destination will request the help from the opportunistic relay (if any). The performance of the proposed system is derived in terms of average bit error probability and achievable spectral efficiency. The analytic results show that the system assisted by the opportunistic relaying can achieve full diversity at low SNR regime and exhibits a 30㏈ gain relative to direct transmission, assuming single-antenna terminals. We also determine the effect of power allocation on the bit error probability BEP) performance of our relaying scheme. We conclude with a discussion on the relationship between the given thresholds and channel resource savings. Monte-Carlo simulations are performed to verify the analysis.
