In existing literature on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relaying communication systems, antenna selection is often implemented by maximizing the channel capacity or the output single-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient low-complexity antenna selection scheme for MIMO relaying communication systems. The proposed algorithm is based on beamforming and maximizing the Frobenius norm to jointly optimize the transmit power, number of active antennas, and antenna subsets at the source, relaying and destination. We maximize the energy efficiency between the link of source to relay and the link of relay to destination to obtain the maximum energy efficiency of the system, subject to the SNR constraint. Compared to existing antenna selection methods forMIMO relaying communication systems, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can save more power in term of energy efficiency, while having lower computational complexity.

In multi-hop communication systems, two-way relaying is one of the solutions to mitigate the spectral efficiency loss caused by a half-duplex transmission. In this paper, a simple two-way relaying scheme is proposed for two-hop two-user multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. In the proposed system, a base station and a relay station (RS), both equipped with two antennas, form a point-to-point MIMO channel, while the RS and two single-antenna mobile users form a point-to-multipoint multiuser (MU)-MIMO channel. Numerical examples show that the proposed system achieves a significant sum rate gain as compared to a one-way relaying system as the distance between a relay and the two users decreases. We also show that although we can expand the proposed scheme to more than two users, its performance gain as compared to that of one-way relaying decreases with an increase in the number of users.

최근 애드 혹 네트워크에서는 전력절약 및 통달거리 확장을 위해서 릴레이 통신이 주목을 받고 있다. 또한 고속의 데이터를 전송하기 위하여 OFDMA를 릴레이에 적용하는 방식이 제안되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 소스와 목적지 사이에 여러개의 OFDMA 릴레이를 사용하는 2홉(Hop) 협동 릴레이 모델을 가정하고, 세 가지 릴레이 방식에 따른 시스템의 성능을 유도하고 비교하였다. 목적지에서 동일한 상호정보 임계치를 가정할 때, 선택 릴레이 방식, 기회전송 릴레이 방식, 그리고 반복 릴레이 방식 순으로 성능이 우수하였다.

요 약 네트워크에 속한 중계기들을 이용하여 다이버시티 이득을 얻는 협력 중계기법은 송신단으로부터 전송된 신호와 중계기로부터 전송된 신호를 수신하는 수신단에서는 신호를 수신하는 방법에 따라 고정형 중계기법과 증분형 중계기법으로 나뉜다. 네트워크에 속한 노드들 중 송신단과 수신단이 PU(Primary User)이고, 나머지 노드가 SU(Secondary User)일 경우 송신단이 신호를 전송하지 않는 동안 네트워크에 속한 노드들은 중계기로서 PU인 송신단과 수신단 간의 통신을 도울 수 있다. 그러나 모든 2차 사용자가 중계기로서 통신에 참여하게 되면 수신단에서 수신하는 신호가 증가하여 높은 차수의 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있지만 불필요한 시간슬롯을 소비하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 네트워크에 속한 SU 중 스펙트럼 홀의 검출에 성공한 노드 중 최상의 채널을 가지는 하나의 SU를 선택하여 선택된 SU만이 수신단으로 신호를 전송하는 협력 중계기법의 성능을 분석한다. 시스템의 성능 분석은 Matlab를 이용하였으며 다양한 중계기법의 성능 분석을 위해 AF, DF, 고정형 중계기법, 증분형 중계기법을 고려하였다.

Two-way relaying is an effective way of improving system spectral efficiency by making use of physical layer network coding. However, energy efficiency in OFDM-based bidirectional relaying with asymmetric traffic requirement has not been investigated. In this study, we focused on subcarrier transmission mode selection, bit loading, and power allocation in a multicarrier single amplified-and-forward relay system. In this scheme, each subcarrier can operate in two transmission modes: one-way relaying and two-way relaying. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer programming problem. We adopt a structural approximation optimization method that first decouples the original problem into two suboptimal problems with fixed subcarrier subsets and then finds the optimal subcarrier assignment subsets. Although the suboptimal problems are nonconvex, the results obtained for a single-tone system are used to transform them to convex problems. To find the optimal subcarrier assignment subsets, an iterative algorithm based on subcarrier ranking and matching is developed. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve system performance compared with conventional methods. Some interesting insights are also obtained via simulation.

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.

We evaluate the link-level performance of cooperative multi-hop relaying networks with an maximum distance separable (MDS) code. The effect of the code on the link-level performance at the destination is investigated in terms of the outage probability and the spectral efficiency. Assuming a simple topology, we construct an absorbing Markov chain. Numerical results indicate that significant improvement can be achieved by incorporating an MDS code. MDS codes successfully facilitate recovery of the message block at a relaying node due to powerful error-correcting capability, so that it can reduce the outage probability. Furthermore, we evaluate the average number of hops where the message block can be delivered.

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.

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.

In the interweave cognitive networks, the interference from the primary user degrades the performance of the cognitive user transmissions. In this paper, we propose an adaptive cooperation scheme in the interweave cognitive networks to improve the performance of the cognitive user transmissions. In the proposed scheme for the bidirectional communication of two end-source cognitive users, the bidirectional communication is completed through the non-relay direct transmission, the one-way relaying cooperation transmission, and the two-way relaying cooperation transmission depending on the limited feedback from the end-sources. For the performance analysis of the proposed scheme, we derive the outage probability and the finite-SNR diversity multiplexing tradeoff (f-DMT) in a closed form, considering the imperfect spectrum sensing, the interference from the primary user, and the power allocation between the relay and the end-sources. The results show that compared with the direct transmissions (DT), the pure one-way relaying transmissions (POWRT), and the pure two-way relaying transmissions (PTWRT), the proposed scheme has better outage performance. In terms of the f-DMT, the proposed scheme outperforms the full cooperation transmissions of the POWRT and PTWRT.
