In this paper, performance of cooperative communication system is analyzed with various relay conditions for mobile communication system using OFDM. We research mainly on the performance analysis of amplify-and-forward scheme. First, we analyzed the diversity gain between the number of antenna on the relay is one and two. And then, in this paper, we analyzed difference of the performance with distance between relay and mobile. Amplify-and-forward scheme has the problem that the noise components are also amplified in low sinal-to-noise (SNR) condition. The results of this paper can be applicable to the cooperative relay systems.

Cooperative transmission is an effective technique to combat multi-path fading and reduce transmitted power. Relay selection and power allocation are important technical issues to determine the performance of cooperative transmission. In this paper, we proposed a new multi-relay selection and power allocation algorithm to increase network lifetime. The proposed relay selection scheme minimizes the transmitted power and increase the network lifetime by considering residual power as well as channel conditions. Simulation results show that proposed algorithm obtains much longer network lifetime than the conventional algorithm.

This paper proposes MIMO two-way cooperative relay scheme to optimize the end to end capacity in wireless multi-hop mesh network. The basic idea is to perform data transmission via multi-hop relay nodes, in equidistant topology, this method is quite efficient. However, on one hand this topology is very rare in practical situation, on the other hand, in real practical situation where the topology is most likely non equidistant, the end to end capacity significantly degrades due to bottleneck link caused by uneven SNR. Moreover, the end to end capacity degrades at high SNR due to overreach interference from far nodes existing in multi-hop relay networks. In this paper, MIMO two-way cooperative relay in the region of non equidistant nodes is found efficient to improve the end to end capacity. The proposed scheme is validated using numerical simulation.

Cooperative communications can significantly improve the wireless transmission performance with the help of relay nodes. In cooperative communication networks, relay selection and power allocation are two key issues. In this paper, we propose a relay selection and power allocation scheme RS-PA-PSACO (Relay Selection-Power Allocation-Particle Swarm Ant Colony Optimization) based on PSACO (Particle Swarm Ant Colony Optimization) algorithm. This scheme can effectively reduce the computational complexity and select the optimal relay nodes. As one of the swarm intelligence algorithms, PSACO which combined both PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) and ACO (Ant Colony Optimization) algorithms is effective to solve non-linear optimization problems through a fast global search at a low cost. The proposed RS-PA-PSACO algorithm can simultaneously obtain the optimal solutions of relay selection and power allocation to minimize the SER (Symbol Error Rate) with a fixed total power constraint both in AF (Amplify and Forward) and DF (Decode and Forward) modes. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the system performance significantly both in reliability and power efficiency at a low complexity.

In this paper, we proposed adaptive two-way relay cooperative communication considering the quality of the user-relay links, and derived outage probability. Network-coding based two-way relay communication can achieve more throughput since it can reduce transmission time compared conventional two-way relay communication. However, Network-coding based two-way relay communication assume that the relay can decode received signal correctly. If relay cannot decode the signal, it leads to error propagation at the relay. In this paper, we proposed adaptive two-way relay cooperative communication scheme. In proposed scheme, the user "A" transmits the signal to relay and another user "B". The relay operates adaptively depend on quality of user-relay links. Simulation result show that proposed scheme has better performance when the quality of the user-relay links are poor. Also it can get diversity order 2.

Based on the performance of a cooperative diversity with selection combining in Rayleigh fading, the power control range of a relay node is investigated. Also the effect of the power-limited relay node to the system performance is investigated. If the average signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) of each signal path is equal, the single relay cooperative diversity is obtained 13.5dB gain at the outage probability of $1{\times}10^{-3}$ in Rayleigh fading. We noticed that the limited power of a relay node severely degrades the system performance. Therefore the node with limited power in ad-hoc network is not recommended as a relay node in cooperative diversity system.

In this paper, we proposed spectrum sensing using cooperative relay to solve problem of sensing performance degradation due to CPE (Customer-Primise equipments) which causes low SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) problem. This system model is expected that cooperative relay scheme guarantees the high sensing performance by its diversity gain. Based on these backgrounds, in this paper, we apply to cooperative relay scheme to the CR (cognitive radio) system, and simulation results show comparison of the sensing performance combining method EGC and MRC.

Cooperative diversity protocols have attracted a great deal of attention since they are thought to be capable of providing diversity multiplexing tradeoff among single antenna wireless devices. In the high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region, cooperation is rarely required; hence, the spectral efficiency of the cooperative protocol can be improved by applying a proper cooperation selection technique. In this paper, we present a simple "cooperation selection" technique based on instantaneous channel measurement to improve the spectral efficiency of cooperative protocols. We show that the same instantaneous channel measurement can also be used for relay selection. In this paper two protocols are proposed-proactive and reactive; the selection of one of these protocols depends on whether the decision of cooperation selection is made before or after the transmission of the source. These protocols can successfully select cooperation along with the best relay from a set of available M relays. If the instantaneous source-to-destination channel is strong enough to support the system requirements, then the source simply transmits to the destination as a noncooperative direct transmission; otherwise, a cooperative transmission with the help of the selected best relay is chosen by the system. Analysis and simulation results show that these protocols can achieve higher order diversity with improved spectral efficiency, i.e., a higher diversity-multiplexing tradeoff in a slow-fading environment.

Cooperative networks enhance the performance of communication systems by combining received signals from the several relay nodes where the source node transmits signals to relay nodes. In this paper, we analyze the effect of resource allocation in cooperative networks. We assume that the cooperative networks use the conventional modulation scheme between the source and relay nodes, and adopt space-time code between the relays and destination node. Both the synchronous and differential modulations are applied for the conventional scheme and differential modulation is used for the space-time code. We consider relay location and energy allocation for resource allocation, and the performance of cooperative networks depending on the number of relay is also investigated.

Cooperative relay communication for wireless networks has been extensively studied due to its ability to mitigate fading effectively via spatial diversity. In this paper, we propose a balanced transmit scheme in cooperative relay communication with decode-and-forward DF) scheme. The proposed scheme selects the feedback bits to obtain the maximum cooperative diversity gain. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the bit error rate BER) performance as compare with a conventional scheme.
