Power Allocation and Cooperative Diversity in Two-Way Non-Regenerative Cognitive Radio Networks
In this paper, we investigate the performance of a dual-hop block fading
cognitive radio network with underlay spectrum sharing over independent but not
necessarily identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) Nakagami- fading channels.
The primary network consists of a source and a destination. Depending on
whether the secondary network which consists of two source nodes have a single
relay for cooperation or multiple relays thereby employs opportunistic relay
selection for cooperation and whether the two source nodes suffer from the
primary users' (PU) interference, two cases are considered in this paper, which
are referred to as Scenario (a) and Scenario (b), respectively. For the
considered underlay spectrum sharing, the transmit power constraint of the
proposed system is adjusted by interference limit on the primary network and
the interference imposed by primary user (PU). The developed new analysis
obtains new analytical results for the outage capacity (OC) and average symbol
error probability (ASEP). In particular, for Scenario (a), tight lower bounds
on the OC and ASEP of the secondary network are derived in closed-form. In
addition, a closed from expression for the end-to-end OC of Scenario (a) is
achieved. With regards to Scenario (b), a tight lower bound on the OC of the
secondary network is derived in closed-form. All analytical results are
corroborated using Monte Carlo simulation method
Performance Analysis of Multi-Antenna Relay Networks over Nakagami-m Fading Channel
In this chapter, the authors present the performance of multi-antenna selective combining decode-and-
forward (SC-DF) relay networks over independent and identically distributed (i.i.d) Nakagami-m fading
channels. The outage probability, moment generation function, symbol error probability and average
channel capacity are derived in closed-form using the Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) statistical character-
istics. After that, the authors formulate the outage probability problem, optimize it with an approximated
problem, and then solve it analytically. Finally, for comparison with analytical formulas, the authors
perform some Monte-Carlo simulations
Energy-delay bounds analysis in wireless multi-hop networks with unreliable radio links
Energy efficiency and transmission delay are very important parameters for
wireless multi-hop networks. Previous works that study energy efficiency and
delay are based on the assumption of reliable links. However, the unreliability
of the channel is inevitable in wireless multi-hop networks. This paper
investigates the trade-off between the energy consumption and the end-to-end
delay of multi-hop communications in a wireless network using an unreliable
link model. It provides a closed form expression of the lower bound on the
energy-delay trade-off for different channel models (AWGN, Raleigh flat fading
and Nakagami block-fading) in a linear network. These analytical results are
also verified in 2-dimensional Poisson networks using simulations. The main
contribution of this work is the use of a probabilistic link model to define
the energy efficiency of the system and capture the energy-delay trade-offs.
Hence, it provides a more realistic lower bound on both the energy efficiency
and the energy-delay trade-off since it does not restrict the study to the set
of perfect links as proposed in earlier works
