Unified Performance Analysis of Mixed Line of Sight RF-FSO Fixed Gain Dual-Hop Transmission Systems
In this work, we carry out a unified performance analysis of a dual-hop fixed
gain relay system over asymmetric links composed of both radio-frequency (RF)
and unified free-space optics (FSO) under the effect of pointing errors. The RF
link is modeled by the Nakagami- fading channel and the FSO link by the
Gamma-Gamma fading channel subject to both types of detection techniques (i.e.
heterodyne detection and intensity modulation with direct detection (IM/DD)).
In particular, we derive new unified closed-form expressions for the cumulative
distribution function, the probability density function, the moment generation
function, and the moments of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio of these
systems in terms of the Meijer's G function. Based on these formulas, we offer
exact closed-form expressions for the outage probability, the higher-order
amount of fading, and the average bit-error rate of a variety of binary
modulations in terms of the Meijer's G function. Further, an exact closed-form
expression for the end-to-end ergodic capacity for the Nakagami--unified FSO
relay links is derived in terms of the bivariate G function. All the given
results are verified via Computer-based Monte-Carlo simulations
Error Rate Analysis of GF(q) Network Coded Detect-and-Forward Wireless Relay Networks Using Equivalent Relay Channel Models
This paper investigates simple means of analyzing the error rate performance
of a general q-ary Galois Field network coded detect-and-forward cooperative
relay network with known relay error statistics at the destination. Equivalent
relay channels are used in obtaining an approximate error rate of the relay
network, from which the diversity order is found. Error rate analyses using
equivalent relay channel models are shown to be closely matched with simulation
results. Using the equivalent relay channels, low complexity receivers are
developed whose performances are close to that of the optimal maximum
likelihood receiver.Comment: 28 pages, 10 figures. This work has been submitted to the IEEE for

Performance analysis of energy detector over generalised wireless channels in cognitive radio
This thesis was submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel University London.This thesis extensively analyses the performance of an energy detector which is
widely employed to perform spectrum sensing in cognitive radio over different generalised
channel models. In this analysis, both the average probability of detection and
the average area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) are derived
using the probability density function of the received instantaneous signal to noise
ratio (SNR). The performance of energy detector over an ŋ --- µ fading, which is used
to model the Non-line-of-sight (NLoS) communication scenarios is provided. Then,
the behaviour of the energy detector over к --- µ shadowed fading channel, which is
a composite of generalized multipath/shadowing fading channel to model the lineof-
sight (LoS) communication medium is investigated. The analysis of the energy
detector over both ŋ --- µ and к --- µ shadowed fading channels are then extended to
include maximal ratio combining (MRC), square law combining (SLC) and square
law selection (SLS) with independent and non-identically (i:n:d) diversity branches.
To overcome the problem of mathematical intractability in analysing the energy
detector over i:n:d composite fading channels with MRC and selection combining
(SC), two different unified statistical properties models for the sum and the maximum
of mixture gamma (MG) variates are derived. The first model is limited by the value
of the shadowing severity index, which should be an integer number and has been
employed to study the performance of energy detector over composite α --- µ /gamma
fading channel. This channel is proposed to represent the non-linear prorogation
environment. On the other side, the second model is general and has been utilised to
analyse the behaviour of energy detector over composite ŋ --- µ /gamma fading channel.
Finally, a special filter-bank transform which is called slantlet packet transform
(SPT) is developed and used to estimate the uncertain noise power. Moreover, signal
denoising based on hybrid slantlet transform (HST) is employed to reduce the noise
impact on the performance of energy detector. The combined SPT-HST approach
improves the detection capability of energy detector with 97% and reduces the total
computational complexity by nearly 19% in comparison with previously implemented
work using filter-bank transforms. The aforementioned percentages are measured at
specific SNR, number of selected samples and levels of signal decompositionMartyrs Foundatio
On the Multivariate Gamma-Gamma () Distribution with Arbitrary Correlation and Applications in Wireless Communications
The statistical properties of the multivariate Gamma-Gamma ()
distribution with arbitrary correlation have remained unknown. In this paper,
we provide analytical expressions for the joint probability density function
(PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF) and moment generation function of
the multivariate distribution with arbitrary correlation.
Furthermore, we present novel approximating expressions for the PDF and CDF of
the sum of random variables with arbitrary correlation. Based
on this statistical analysis, we investigate the performance of radio frequency
and optical wireless communication systems. It is noteworthy that the presented
expressions include several previous results in the literature as special
cases.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, accepted by IEEE Transactions on Vehicular

Performance analysis of mixed Nakagami- m and Gamma–Gamma dual-hop FSO transmission systems
In this paper, we carry out a unified performance analysis of a dual-hop relay system over the asymmetric links composed of both radio-frequency (RF) and unified free-space optical (FSO) links under the effect of pointing errors. Both fixed and variable gain relay systems are studied. The RF link is modeled by the Nakagami-m fading channel and the FSO link by the Gamma-Gamma fading channel subject to both types of detection techniques (i.e., heterodyne detection and intensity modulation with direct detection). In particular, we derive new unified closed-form expressions for the cumulative distribution function, the probability density function, the moment generating function (MGF), and the moments of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of these systems in terms of the Meijer's G function. Based on these formulas, we offer exact closed-form expressions for the outage probability (OP), the higher order amount of fading, and the average bit error rate (BER) of a variety of binary modulations in terms of the Meijer's G function. Furthermore, an exact closed-form expression of the end-to-end ergodic capacity is derived in terms of the bivariate G function. Additionally, by using the asymptotic expansion of the Meijer's G function at the high-SNR regime, we derive new asymptotic results for the OP, the MGF, and the average BER in terms of simple elementary functions
