On the Performance of Multiple Antenna Cooperative Spectrum Sharing Protocol under Nakagami-m Fading
In a cooperative spectrum sharing (CSS) protocol, two wireless systems
operate over the same frequency band albeit with different priorities. The
secondary (or cognitive) system which has a lower priority, helps the higher
priority primary system to achieve its target rate by acting as a relay and
allocating a fraction of its power to forward the primary signal. The secondary
system in return is benefited by transmitting its own data on primary system's
spectrum. In this paper, we have analyzed the performance of multiple antenna
cooperative spectrum sharing protocol under Nakagami-m Fading. Closed form
expressions for outage probability have been obtained by varying the parameters
m and Omega of the Nakagami-m fading channels. Apart from above, we have shown
the impact of power allocation factor (alpha) and parameter m on the region of
secondary spectrum access, conventionally defined as critical radius for the
secondary system. A comparison between theoretical and simulated results is
also presented to corroborate the theoretical results obtained in this paperComment: Accepted in the proceedings of IEEE PIMRC 2015 Hong Kong, Chin
Source-Channel Coding for the Multiple-Access Relay Channel
This work considers reliable transmission of general correlated sources over
the multiple-access relay channel (MARC) and the multiple-access broadcast
relay channel (MABRC). In MARCs only the destination is interested in a
reconstruction of the sources, while in MABRCs both the relay and the
destination want to reconstruct the sources. We assume that both the relay and
the destination have correlated side information. We find sufficient conditions
for reliable communication based on operational separation, as well as
necessary conditions on the achievable source-channel rate. For correlated
sources transmitted over fading Gaussian MARCs and MABRCs we find conditions
under which informational separation is optimal.Comment: Presented in ISWCS 2011, Aachen, German
Optimal space-time codes for the MIMO amplify-and-forward cooperative channel
In this work, we extend the non-orthogonal amplify-and-forward (NAF)
cooperative diversity scheme to the MIMO channel. A family of space-time block
codes for a half-duplex MIMO NAF fading cooperative channel with N relays is
constructed. The code construction is based on the non-vanishing determinant
criterion (NVD) and is shown to achieve the optimal diversity-multiplexing
tradeoff (DMT) of the channel. We provide a general explicit algebraic
construction, followed by some examples. In particular, in the single relay
case, it is proved that the Golden code and the 4x4 Perfect code are optimal
for the single-antenna and two-antenna case, respectively. Simulation results
reveal that a significant gain (up to 10dB) can be obtained with the proposed
codes, especially in the single-antenna case.Comment: submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, revised versio
