A Study Of Cooperative Spectrum Sharing Schemes For Internet Of Things Systems
The Internet of Things (IoT) has gained much attention in recent years with the massive increase in the number of connected devices. Cognitive Machine-to-Machine (CM2M) communications is a hot research topic in which a cognitive dimension allows M2M networks to overcome the challenges of spectrum scarcity, interference, and green requirements. In this paper, we propose a Generalized Cooperative Spectrum Sharing (GCSS) scheme for M2M communication. Cooperation extends the coverage of wireless networks as well as increasing their throughput while reducing the energy consumption of the connected low power devices. We study the outage performance of the proposed GCSS scheme for M2M system and derive exact expressions for the outage probability. We also analyze the effect of varying transmission powers on the performance of the system
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
Improving performance of far users in cognitive radio: Exploiting NOMA and wireless power transfer
In this paper, we examine non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and relay selection strategy to benefit extra advantage from traditional cognitive radio (CR) relaying systems. The most important requirement to prolong lifetime of such network is employing energy harvesting in the relay to address network with limited power constraint. In particular, we study such energy harvesting CR-NOMA using amplify-and-forward (AF) scheme to improve performance far NOMA users. To further address such problem, two schemes are investigated in term of number of selected relays. To further examine system performance, the outage performance needs to be studied for such wireless powered CR-NOMA network over Rayleigh channels. The accurate expressions for the outage probability are derived to perform outage comparison of primary network and secondary network. The analytical results show clearly that position of these nodes, transmit signal to noise ratio (SNR) and power allocation coefficients result in varying outage performance. As main observation, performance gap between primary and secondary destination is decided by both power allocation factors and selection mode of single relay or multiple relays. Numerical studies were conducted to verify our derivations.Web of Science1211art. no. 220
Hybrid satellite–terrestrial networks toward 6G : key technologies and open issues
Future wireless networks will be required to provide more wireless services at higher data rates and with global coverage. However, existing homogeneous wireless networks, such as cellular and satellite networks, may not be able to meet such requirements individually, especially in remote terrain, including seas and mountains. One possible solution is to use diversified wireless networks that can exploit the inter-connectivity between satellites, aerial base stations (BSs), and terrestrial BSs over inter-connected space, ground, and aerial networks. Hence, enabling wireless communication in one integrated network has attracted both the industry and the research fraternities. In this work, we provide a comprehensive survey of the most recent work on hybrid satellite–terrestrial networks (HSTNs), focusing on system architecture, performance analysis, design optimization, and secure communication schemes for different cooperative and cognitive HSTN network architectures. Different key technologies are compared. Based on this comparison, several open issues for future research are discussed
Power Allocation Strategies for Wireless Relay Networks with Analog Network Coding: Survey
Relay aided communication with network coding can bring spectacular performance enhancements for wireless networks. The proper design of power allocated to each of the nodes involved in the communication is essential as it has impact on the performance when Analog Network coding (ANC) is used. This paper presents a survey on recent power allocation strategies, intended objectives, practical constraints that have been considered, and corresponding performances for networks with ANC protocol
Physical Layer Security in Wireless Networks: Design and Enhancement.
PhDSecurity and privacy have become increasingly significant concerns in wireless communication
networks, due to the open nature of the wireless medium which makes the wireless
transmission vulnerable to eavesdropping and inimical attacking. The emergence and
development of decentralized and ad-hoc wireless networks pose great challenges to the
implementation of higher-layer key distribution and management in practice. Against
this background, physical layer security has emerged as an attractive approach for performing
secure transmission in a low complexity manner. This thesis concentrates on
physical layer security design and enhancement in wireless networks.
First, this thesis presents a new unifying framework to analyze the average secrecy
capacity and secrecy outage probability. Besides the exact average secrecy capacity
and secrecy outage probability, a new approach for analyzing the asymptotic behavior is
proposed to compute key performance parameters such as high signal-to-noise ratio slope,
power offset, secrecy diversity order, and secrecy array gain. Typical fading environments
such as two-wave with diffuse power and Nakagami-m are taken into account.
Second, an analytical framework of using antenna selection schemes to achieve secrecy
is provided. In particular, transmit antenna selection and generalized selection combining
are considered including its special cases of selection combining and maximal-ratio
combining.
Third, the fundamental questions surrounding the joint impact of power constraints on
the cognitive wiretap channel are addressed. Important design insights are revealed
regarding the interplay between two power constraints, namely the maximum transmit
at the secondary network and the peak interference power at the primary network.
Fourth, secure single carrier transmission is considered in the two-hop decode-andi
forward relay networks. A two-stage relay and destination selection is proposed to minimize
the eavesdropping and maximize the signal power of the link between the relay and
the destination. In two-hop amplify-and-forward untrusted relay networks, secrecy may
not be guaranteed even in the absence of external eavesdroppers. As such, cooperative
jamming with optimal power allocation is proposed to achieve non-zero secrecy rate.
Fifth and last, physical layer security in large-scale wireless sensor networks is introduced.
A stochastic geometry approach is adopted to model the positions of sensors, access
points, sinks, and eavesdroppers. Two scenarios are considered: i) the active sensors
transmit their sensing data to the access points, and ii) the active access points forward
the data to the sinks. Important insights are concluded
