Establishment of an efficient routing technique in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) based mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a new challenge in wireless communication system to communicate in a complex terrain where permanent infrastructure network implementation is not possible. Due to limited power of mobile nodes, a minimum power consumed routing (MPCR) algorithm is developed which is an integration of cooperative transmission process. This algorithm select relay node and support short distance communication. The performance analysis of proposed routing algorithm increased signal to noise interference ratio (SNIR) resulting effect of cooperative transmission. Finally performance analysis of the proposed algorithm is verified with simulated result.

Small-sized IoT wireless sensing devices can be deployed with small aircraft such as drones, and the deployment of mobile IoT devices can be relocated to suit data collection with efficient relocation algorithms. However, the terrain may not be able to predict its shape. Mobile IoT devices suitable for these terrains are hopping devices that can move with jumps. So far, most hopping sensor relocation studies have made the unrealistic assumption that all hopping devices know the overall state of the entire network and each device's current state. Recent work has proposed the most realistic distributed network environment-based relocation algorithms that do not require sharing all information simultaneously. However, since the shortest path-based algorithm performs communication and movement requests with terminals, it is not suitable for an area where the distribution of obstacles is uneven. The proposed scheme applies a simple Monte Carlo method based on relay nodes selection random variables that reflect the obstacle distribution's characteristics to choose the best relay node as reinforcement learning, not specific relay nodes. Using the relay node selection random variable could significantly reduce the generation of additional messages that occur to select the shortest path. This paper's additional contribution is that the world's first distributed environment-based relocation protocol is proposed reflecting real-world physical devices' characteristics through the OMNeT++ simulator. We also reconstruct the three days-long disaster environment, and performance evaluation has been performed by applying the proposed protocol to the simulated real-world environment.

본 논문에서는 노드의 이동성이 크고 노드의 밀도가 균일 하지 않은 애드혹 네트워크에서 라우팅 성능을 개선하기 위해 노드의 이동성과 밀도를 고려하여 OLSR(Optimized Link State Routing) 의 MPR(Multi-Point Relay) 선택방법을 개선할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. OLSR의 MPR 선택 방법은 노드의 이동성과 밀도에 무관하게 2홉 이웃 노드를 많이 포함하는 노드를 위주로 선택한다. 하지만 노드가 이동성을 갖는 경우에 이동성이 큰 노드를 MPR로 선택할 경우 성능이 저하될 수 있다. 또한 노드의 밀도가 균일 하지 않은 경우에는 밀도가 높은 지역의 노드들이 우선적으로 MPR로 선택되면 네트워크 전체의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 노드의 이동성과 밀도를 Hello 메시지 교환을 통해 측정하고 노드의 이동성과 밀도를 반영하여 MPR 선택에 우선순위를 부여하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 MPR 선택 방법의 성능을 알아보기 위해 OPNET을 활용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 제안 방법의 성능이 가장 우수함을 보인다.

In this letter, a harmonic-mean-based dual-antenna selection scheme at relay node is proposed in two-way relaying networks (TWRNs). With well-designed distributed orthogonal concatenated Alamouti space-time block code (STBC), a dual-antenna selection problem based on the instantaneous achievable sum-rate criterion is formulated. We propose a low-complexity selection algorithm based on the harmonic-mean criterion with linearly complexity $O(N_R)$ rather than the directly exhaustive search with complexity $O(N^2_R)$. From the analysis of network outage performance, we show that the asymptotic diversity gain function of the proposed scheme achieves as $1/{\rho}{^{N_R-1}}$, which demonstrates one degree loss of diversity order compared with the full diversity. This slight performance gap is mainly caused by sacrificing some dual-antenna selection freedom to reduce the algorithm complexity. In addition, our proposed scheme can obtain an extra coding gain because of the combination of the well-designed orthogonal concatenated Alamouti STBC and the corresponding dual-antenna selection algorithm. Compared with the common-used selection algorithms in the state of the art, the proposed scheme can achieve the best performance, which is validated by numerical simulations.

선택적 중계 기법은 수신 복잡도가 낮으면서도 선택 다이버시티로 인하여 성능 향상을 도모할 수 있는 협력 통신 시스템의 전송 기법 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 이 시스템의 오차 확률을 최소화 할 수 있는 선형 전처리 기술을 다룬다. 전 채널 상태 정보가 모든 단말에서 이용 가능하다는 가정 하에, 수신 신호의 평균 제곱 오차를 최소화하기 위한 송신 및 중계 전처리 필터를 제안한다. 중계 전송을 위한 최적의 송신 및 중계 전처리 필터는 수식적으로 표현하기 어렵고 반복 연산을 요구하므로 이를 단순화한 기법을 적용한다. 게다가, 고정된 신호 대 잡음비의 임계치를 사용하는 기존의 선택적 중계 기법과 달리 직접 경로와 중계 경로에서의 신호 검출 후 최소 신호 대 잡음비를 비교하여 더 큰 값을 갖는 경로를 전송 경로로 선택하는 기법을 소개한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안한 선택 중계 기법이 기존의 중계 기법 및 선택적 중계 기법보다 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있다.

With vast amounts of spectrum available in the millimeter wave (mmWave) band, small cells at mmWave frequencies densely deployed underlying the conventional homogeneous macrocell network have gained considerable interest from academia, industry, and standards bodies. Due to high propagation loss at higher frequencies, mmWave communications are inherently directional, and concurrent transmissions (spatial reuse) under low inter-link interference can be enabled to significantly improve network capacity. On the other hand, mmWave links are easily blocked by obstacles such as human body and furniture. In this paper, we develop a multi-hop relaying transmission (MHRT) scheme to steer blocked flows around obstacles by establishing multi-hop relay paths. In MHRT, a relay path selection algorithm is proposed to establish relay paths for blocked flows for better use of concurrent transmissions. After relay path selection, we use a multi-hop transmission scheduling algorithm to compute near-optimal schedules by fully exploiting the spatial reuse. Through extensive simulations under various traffic patterns and channel conditions, we demonstrate MHRT achieves superior performance in terms of network throughput and connection robustness compared with other existing protocols, especially under serious blockage conditions. The performance ofMHRT with different hop limitations is also simulated and analyzed for a better choice of the maximum hop number in practice.

This paper considers a cooperative orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)-based cognitive radio network where the primary system leases some of its subchannels to the secondary system for a fraction of time in exchange for the secondary users (SUs) assisting the transmission of primary users (PUs) as relays. Our aim is to determine the cooperation strategies among the primary and secondary systems so as to maximize the sum-rate of SUs while maintaining quality-of-service (QoS) requirements of PUs. We formulate a joint optimization problem of PU transmission mode selection, SU (or relay) selection, subcarrier assignment, power control, and time allocation. By applying dual method, this mixed integer programming problem is decomposed into parallel per-subcarrier subproblems, with each determining the cooperation strategy between one PU and one SU. We show that, on each leased subcarrier, the optimal strategy is to let a SU exclusively act as a relay or transmit for itself. This result is fundamentally different from the conventional spectrum leasing in single-channel systems where a SU must transmit a fraction of time for itself if it helps the PU's transmission. We then propose a subgradient-based algorithm to find the asymptotically optimal solution to the primal problem in polynomial time. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can significantly enhance the network performance.

Device-to-Device (D2D) communication underlaying cellular networks is a promising add-on component for future radio communication systems. It provides more access opportunities for local device pairs and enhances system throughput (ST), especially when mobile relays (MR) are further enabled to facilitate D2D links when the channel condition of their desired links is unfavorable. However, mutual interference is inevitable due to spectral reuse, and moreover, selecting a suitable transmission mode to benefit the correlated resource allocation (RA) is another difficult problem. We aim to optimize ST of the hybrid system via joint consideration of mode selection (MS) and RA, which includes admission control (AC), power control (PC), channel assignment (CA) and relay selection (RS). However, the original problem is generally NP-hard; therefore, we decompose it into two parts where a hierarchical structure exists: (i) PC is mode-dependent, but its optimality can be perfectly addressed for any given mode with additional AC design to achieve individual quality-of-service requirements. (ii) Based on that optimality, the joint design of MS, CA and RS can be viewed from the graph perspective and transferred into the maximum weighted independent set problem, which is then approximated by our greedy algorithm in polynomial-time. Thanks to the numerical results, we elucidate the efficacy of our mechanism and observe a resulting gain in MR-aided D2D communication.

차세대 무선통신 시스템에서 다중 경로 페이딩의 영향을 효율적으로 감소시키기 위한 방법으로 최근 협력통신 시스템이 각광을 받고 있다. 협력통신 시스템은 정보를 전송하기 위해서 다양한 페이딩 계수를 가지고 있는 협력 릴레이를 사용하기 때문에, 모든 릴레이를 협력통신에 참여 시키는 것은 자원의 낭비를 초래한다. 그러므로 무선자원을 효율적으로 사용하기 위해서는 최적의 릴레이를 선택적으로 사용할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 무선 협력통신 네트워크에서 발생하는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 Q-Learning 알고리즘을 이용한 협력 릴레이 선택 기법을 제안한다. Q-Learning에서는 자가 학습을 위해서 상태, 행동, 그리고 보상에 대한 파라미터를 정의한다. 이러한 파라미터가 잘 정의 될 때 Q-Learning을 이용하여 우수한 통신 성능을 얻을 수 있다. Q-Learning 알고리즘의 우수성을 보이기 위해서, 수학적인 분석을 통해서 최적의 협력 릴레이를 얻는 기법과 통신 성능을 비교하였다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 기법에서 Q-Learning 알고리즘 내의 보상을 주는 방식에 따라, 비교 기법과 유사한 심벌오율 성능을 얻으면서 보다 더 적은 협력 릴레이를 선택하는 것을 보였다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안된 기법은 다수의 릴레이를 사용하는 차세대 무선통신 시스템의 성능 향상을 위한 좋은 접근 방식의 하나로 판단된다.

This paper studies resource allocation schemes for the relay-aided cooperative system consisting of multiple source-destination pairs and decode-forward (DF) relays. Specially, relaying selection, multisubcarrier pairing and assignment, and power allocation are investigated jointly. We consider a combinatorial optimization problem on quality of experience (QoE) and energy consumption based on relay-aided cooperative system. For providing better QoE and lower energy consumption we formulate a multi-objective optimization problem to maximize the total mean opinion score (MOS) value and minimize the total power consumption. To this end, we employ the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm version II (NSGA-II) and obtain sets of Pareto optimal solutions. Specially, two formulas are devised for the optimal solutions of the multi-objective optimization problems with and without a service priority constraint. Moreover, simulation results show that the proposed schemes are superior to the existing ones.
