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.

Cooperative transmission is an effective solution to improve the performance of wireless communications over fading channels without the need for physical co-located antenna arrays. In this paper, selection combining is used at the destination instead of maximal ratio combing to optimize the structure of destination and to reduce power consumption in selective decode-and-forward relaying networks. For an arbitrary number of relays, an exact and closed-form expression of the bit error rate (BER) is derived for M-PAM, M-QAM, and M-PSK, respectively, in both independent identically distributed and independent but not identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels. A variety of simulations are performed and show that they match exactly with analytic ones. In addition, our results show that the optimum number of relays depend not only on channel conditions (operating SNRs) but also on modulation schemes which to be used.

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.

We propose a new time-division half-duplex estimate-and-forward (EF) relaying strategy suitable for a relay with mobility. We reconfigure EF relaying to guarantee a strong relay-destination link which is required to achieve a high rate using EF relaying. Based on the reconfigured model, we optimize the relaying strategy to attain a high rate irrespective of the relay position with preserving the total transmit bandwidth and energy. The proposed relaying strategy achieves high communication reliability for any relay position, which differs from conventional EF and decode-and-forward (DF) relaying schemes.

In this paper, the average bit error probability (ABEP) performance of the incremental-selective decode-and-forward (ISDF) relaying mobile-to-mobile (M2M) cooperative networks over N-Nakagami fading channels is investigated. The exact ABEP expressions are derived, and the power allocation problem is formulated.The derived ABEP expressions are verified by Monte Carlo simulations. The simulation results showed that the propagation parameters, such as the fading coefficient, and the power-allocation parameter, have a significant influence on the ABEP performance.

In this paper, we investigate the outage performance of a two-way decode-and-forward relaying network in an interference-limited Nakagami-m fading environment. More specifically, assuming the presence of Nakagami-m faded multiple co-channel interferers at the source/destination terminals, the closed-form approximate expression for the outage probability is derived by using moment-based estimators attaining the appropriate Nakagami-m fading parameter. Simulation results demonstrate that our analytical result is in excellent agreement with the Monte Carlo simulation.

Exact average bit error probability (BEP) expressions for mobile-relay-based mobile-to-mobile (M2M) cooperative networks with incremental decode-and-forward (IDF) relaying over N-Nakagami fading channels are derived in this paper. The average BEP performance under different conditions is evaluated numerically to confirm the accuracy of the analysis. Results are presented which show that the fading coefficient, the number of cascaded components, the relative geometrical gain, and the power allocation parameter have a significant influence on the average BEP performance.

통신 시스템에서 수신 성능을 향상시키는 방법으로 MIMO 기술이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 하지만 최근 소형화되어 가는 대부분의 무선 단말기는 사이즈, 비용, 하드웨어의 복잡성 등의 이유로 적용할 수 있는 안테나의 개수에 한계를 가진다. 이에 따라 개발된 협력통신은 단일 안테나를 가지는 다수의 단말기들이 가상의 MIMO 환경을 구현함으로써 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 하지만 협력통신은 다이버시티를 얻기 위해 스펙트럼 효율성을 저하시키며, 이를 극복할 수 있는 방법으로 증분 중계기법을 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 증분 중계기법을 이용하는 다양한 시스템 모델을 고려하며, 고려된 시스템 모델이 최적의 성능을 얻을 수 있는 중계기 위치를 연구한다.
