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.

In this letter, closed-form approximations for outage probability and symbol error rate are presented for a selective decode-and-forward relay network with partial channel information. An independent but not identically distributed Rayleigh fading environment is considered. Numerical and simulated results demonstrate the validity of the analytical results.

무선 네트워크를 위한 협력 릴레이 통신은 공간 다이버시티를 통해 페이딩현상을 효율적으로 감소 시킬 수 있기 때문에 최근 활발히 연구되어 오고 있다. 본 논문에서 협력 릴레이 통신환경에서 decode-and-forward 기법을 적용한 balanced 전송 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 최고의 협력 다이버시티 이득을 얻기 위해 피드백 비트들을 선택한다. 제안된 기법은 기존의 기법과 비교하여 비트 오류 확률 성능을 증가시킬 수 있는 것을 모의 실험을 통해 증명하였다.

소스 노드, 목적지 노드, 릴레이 노드 중 하나의 노드에서 다중 안테나를 사용하는 특별한 세 가지 경우의 half-duplex (HD) dynamic decode and forward (DDF) 릴레이 프로토콜들에 대한 diversity multiplexing tradeoff(DMT) 함수를 유도하였다. 이 세 가지 릴레이 프로토콜들의 DMT 함수들을 상호 비교하였으며 nonorthogonal amplify-and-forward (NAF) 프로토콜들의 DMT 함수와 비교하였다.

The decode-and-forward cooperative communication protocol allows single-antenna users in wireless environments to obtain the powerful benefits of multi-antenna systems without the need for physical arrays. Evaluating the performance of this protocol through simulations is time-consuming and therefore, a need exists for an analytical BER expression to serve as a reference. This paper proposed such an expression for coherently BPSK-modulated data.

In decode and forward relay systems, choosing the duplex mode is an important factor to the performance. To satisfy the performance requirement, self-interference must be mitigated for the full-duplex relay (FDR), and the resource efficiency must be increased for the half-duplex ratio (HDR). Therefore, if a wise scheme to consider these two factors exists, decode and forward relay systems are used more effectively. This study proposes a new duplex selection scheme for decode and forward relay systems. The proposed duplex selection scheme chooses the better duplex mode according to the channel statistical conditions with optimal power allocation. The simulation results show that the proposed duplex scheme with optimal power allocation has lower outage probability than the FDR and the HDR.

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.

본 논문에서는 디코딩 후 전달 시스템을 위한 최적의 중계노드 선택방법을 제안한다. 그 최적의 중계노드 선택 방법은 디코딩 후 전달 시스템에서 신호 중계를 위해 사용되는 시간슬롯을 최소화하고 최종 신호 대 잡음비를 최대화한다. 그러나, 중계노드 선택을 위한 시스템의 오버 헤드가 요구된다. 독립적이고 동일한 레일레이 분포를 따르는 채널들을 가정하여, 제안된 최적의 중계노드 선택방법 기반의 디코딩 후 전달방식에 대한 용량 저하 확률과 평균 비트 오차율의 식들을 유도하고, 그 식들의 수치적 결과와 시뮬레이션 결과를 비교하여 수식들을 검증한다. 중계노드의 개수가 각각 2, 4, 8이고 오버 헤드에 대한 시간슬롯의 개수가 각각 1, 2, 4일 때, 제안된 방식은 기존의 디코딩 후 전달방식보다 1% 비트 오차율에서 각각 1 dB, 2 dB, 3 dB의 이득이 있고, 1 bps/Hz에 대한 1% 용량 저하 확률에서 각각 0.5 dB, 4 dB, 12 dB의 이득이 있다.

In this paper, we evaluate performance of a hybrid decode-amplify-forward relaying protocol in underlay cognitive radio. In the proposed protocol, a secondary relay which is chosen by partial relay selection method helps a transmission between a secondary source and a secondary destination. In particular, if the chosen relay decodes the secondary source's signal successfully, it will forward the decoded signal to the secondary destination. Otherwise, it will amplify the signal received from the secondary source and will forward the amplified signal to the secondary destination. We evaluate the performance of our scheme via theory and simulation. Results show that the proposed protocol outperforms the amplify-and-forward and decode-and-forward protocols in terms of outage probability.

This paper provides closed form expressions for the evaluation of the end-to-end outage probability, symbol error rate, bit error rate and average capacity of the partial-based Decode-and-Forward (DF) relay selection scheme with an arbitrary number of relays. In a comparison with the performance of systems that exploit Amplify-and-Forward (AF), it can be seen that the performance of our proposed protocol converges to that of partial-based AF relay selection in high SNR regime. We also perform Monte-Carlo simulations to validate the analysis.
