Amplify-and-Forward in Wireless Relay Networks
A general class of wireless relay networks with a single source-destination
pair is considered. Intermediate nodes in the network employ an
amplify-and-forward scheme to relay their input signals. In this case the
overall input-output channel from the source via the relays to the destination
effectively behaves as an intersymbol interference channel with colored noise.
Unlike previous work we formulate the problem of the maximum achievable rate in
this setting as an optimization problem with no assumption on the network size,
topology, and received signal-to-noise ratio. Previous work considered only
scenarios wherein relays use all their power to amplify their received signals.
We demonstrate that this may not always maximize the maximal achievable rate in
amplify-and-forward relay networks. The proposed formulation allows us to not
only recover known results on the performance of the amplify-and-forward
schemes for some simple relay networks but also characterize the performance of
more complex amplify-and-forward relay networks which cannot be addressed in a
straightforward manner using existing approaches.
Using cut-set arguments, we derive simple upper bounds on the capacity of
general wireless relay networks. Through various examples, we show that a large
class of amplify-and-forward relay networks can achieve rates within a constant
factor of these upper bounds asymptotically in network parameters.Comment: Minor revision: fixed a typo in eqn. reference, changed the

Performance enhancement solutions in wireless communication networks
In this dissertation thesis, we study the new relaying protocols for different wireless network systems. We analyze and evaluate an efficiency of the transmission in terms of the outage probability over Rayleigh fading channels by mathematical analyses. The theoretical analyses are verified by performing Monte Carlo simulations.
First, we study the cooperative relaying in the Two-Way Decode-and-Forward (DF) and multi-relay DF scheme for a secondary system to obtain spectrum access along with a primary system. In particular, we proposed the Two-Way DF scheme with Energy Harvesting, and the Two-Way DF Non-orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) scheme with digital network coding. Besides, we also investigate the wireless systems with multi-relay; the best relay selection is presented to optimize the effect of the proposed scheme. The transmission protocols of the proposed schemes EHAF (Energy Harvesting Amplify and Forward) and EHDF (Energy Harvesting Decode and Forward) are compared together in the same environment and in term of outage probability. Hence, with the obtained results, we conclude that the proposed schemes improve the performance of the wireless cooperative relaying systems, particularly their throughput.
Second, we focus on investigating the NOMA technology and proposing the optimal solutions (protocols) to advance the data rate and to ensure the Quality of Service (QoS) for the users in the next generation of wireless communications. In this thesis, we propose a Two-Way DF NOMA scheme (called a TWNOMA protocol) in which an intermediate relay helps two source nodes to communicate with each other. Simulation and analysis results show that the proposed protocol TWNOMA is improving the data rate when comparing with a conventional Two-Way scheme using digital network coding (DNC) (called a TWDNC protocol), Two-Way scheme without using DNC (called a TWNDNC protocol) and Two-Way scheme in amplify-and-forward(AF) relay systems (called a TWANC protocol).
Finally, we considered the combination of the NOMA and physical layer security (PLS) in the Underlay Cooperative Cognitive Network (UCCN). The best relay selection strategy is investigated, which uses the NOMA and considers the PLS to enhance the transmission efficiency and secrecy of the new generation wireless networks.V této dizertační práci je provedena studie nových přenosových protokolů pro různé bezdrátové síťové systémy. S využitím matematické analýzy jsme analyzovali a vyhodnotili efektivitu přenosu z hlediska pravděpodobnosti výpadku přes Rayleighův kanál. Teoretické analýzy jsou ověřeny provedenými simulacemi metodou Monte Carlo.
Nejprve došlo ke studii kooperativního přenosu ve dvoucestném dekóduj-a-předej (Two-Way Decode-and-Forward–TWDF) a vícecestném DF schématu s větším počtem přenosových uzlů pro sekundární systém, kdy takto byl získán přístup ke spektru spolu s primárním systémem. Konkrétně jsme navrhli dvoucestné DF schéma se získáváním energie a dvoucestné DF neortogonální schéma s mnohonásobným přístupem (Non-orthogonal Multiple Access–NOMA) s digitálním síťovým kódováním. Kromě toho rovněž zkoumáme bezdrátové systémy s větším počtem přenosových uzlů, kde je přítomen výběr nejlepšího přenosového uzlu pro optimalizaci efektivnosti navrženého schématu. Přenosové protokoly navržených schémat EHAF (Energy Harvesting Amplify and Forward) a EHDF(Energy Harvesting Decode and Forward) jsou společně porovnány v identickém prostředí z pohledu pravděpodobnosti výpadku. Následně, na základě získaných výsledků, jsme dospěli k závěru, že navržená schémata vylepšují výkonnost bezdrátových kooperativních systémů, konkrétně jejich propustnost.
Dále jsme se zaměřili na zkoumání NOMA technologie a navrhli optimální řešení (protokoly) pro urychlení datového přenosu a zajištění QoS v další generaci bezdrátových komunikací. V této práci jsme navrhli dvoucestné DF NOMA schéma (nazýváno jako TWNOMA protokol), ve kterém mezilehlý přenosový uzel napomáhá dvěma zdrojovým uzlům komunikovat mezi sebou. Výsledky simulace a analýzy ukazují, že navržený protokol TWNOMA vylepšuje dosaženou přenosovou rychlost v porovnání s konvenčním dvoucestným schématem používajícím DNC (TWDNC protokol), dvoucestným schématem bez použití DNC (TWNDNC protokol) a dvoucestným schématem v zesil-a-předej (amplify-and-forward) přenosových systémech (TWANC protokol).
Nakonec jsme zvážili využití kombinace NOMA a zabezpečení fyzické vrstvy (Physical Layer Security–PLS) v podpůrné kooperativní kognitivní síti (Underlay Cooperative Cognitive Network–UCCN). Zde je zde zkoumán výběr nejlepšího přenosového uzlu, který užívá NOMA a bere v úvahu PLS pro efektivnější přenos a zabezpečení nové generace bezdrátových sítí.440 - Katedra telekomunikační technikyvyhově
Relay Selection for Wireless Communications Against Eavesdropping: A Security-Reliability Tradeoff Perspective
This article examines the secrecy coding aided wireless communications from a
source to a destination in the presence of an eavesdropper from a
security-reliability tradeoff (SRT) perspective. Explicitly, the security is
quantified in terms of the intercept probability experienced at the
eavesdropper, while the outage probability encountered at the destination is
used to measure the transmission reliability. We characterize the SRT of
conventional direct transmission from the source to the destination and show
that if the outage probability is increased, the intercept probability
decreases, and vice versa. We first demonstrate that the employment of relay
nodes for assisting the source-destination transmissions is capable of
defending against eavesdropping, followed by quantifying the benefits of
single-relay selection (SRS) as well as of multi-relay selection (MRS) schemes.
More specifically, in the SRS scheme, only the single "best" relay is selected
for forwarding the source signal to the destination, whereas the MRS scheme
allows multiple relays to participate in this process. It is illustrated that
both the SRS and MRS schemes achieve a better SRT than the conventional direct
transmission, especially upon increasing the number of relays. Numerical
results also show that as expected, the MRS outperforms the SRS in terms of its
SRT. Additionally, we present some open challenges and future directions for
the wireless relay aided physical-layer security.Comment: 16 pages, IEEE Network, 201
Recovering Multiplexing Loss Through Successive Relaying Using Repetition Coding
In this paper, a transmission protocol is studied for a two relay wireless
network in which simple repetition coding is applied at the relays.
Information-theoretic achievable rates for this transmission scheme are given,
and a space-time V-BLAST signalling and detection method that can approach them
is developed. It is shown through the diversity multiplexing tradeoff analysis
that this transmission scheme can recover the multiplexing loss of the
half-duplex relay network, while retaining some diversity gain. This scheme is
also compared with conventional transmission protocols that exploit only the
diversity of the network at the cost of a multiplexing loss. It is shown that
the new transmission protocol offers significant performance advantages over
conventional protocols, especially when the interference between the two relays
is sufficiently strong.Comment: To appear in the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
