Optimal Power Control for Analog Bidirectional Relaying with Long-Term Relay Power Constraint
Wireless systems that carry delay-sensitive information (such as speech
and/or video signals) typically transmit with fixed data rates, but may
occasionally suffer from transmission outages caused by the random nature of
the fading channels. If the transmitter has instantaneous channel state
information (CSI) available, it can compensate for a significant portion of
these outages by utilizing power allocation. In a conventional dual-hop
bidirectional amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying system, the relay already has
instantaneous CSI of both links available, as this is required for relay gain
adjustment. We therefore develop an optimal power allocation strategy for the
relay, which adjusts its instantaneous output power to the minimum level
required to avoid outages, but only if the required output power is below some
cutoff level; otherwise, the relay is silent in order to conserve power and
prolong its lifetime. The proposed scheme is proven to minimize the system
outage probability, subject to an average power constraint at the relay and
fixed output powers at the end nodes.Comment: conference IEEE Globecom 2013, Atlanta, Georgia, U
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
Energy harvesting based two-way full-duplex relaying network over a Rician fading environment: performance analysis
Full-duplex transmission is a promising technique to enhance the capacity of communication systems. In this paper, we propose and investigate the system performance of an energy harvesting based two-way full-duplex relaying network over a Rician fading environment. Firstly, we analyse and demonstrate the analytical expressions of the achievable throughput, outage probability, optimal time switching factor, and symbol error ratio of the proposed system. In the second step, the effect of various parameters of the system on its performance is presented and investigated. In the final step, the analytical results are also demonstrated by Monte Carlo simulation. The numerical results proved that the analytical results and the simulation results agreed with each other.Web of Science68112311
Outage analysis of superposition modulation aided network coded cooperation in the presence of network coding noise
We consider a network, where multiple sourcedestination pairs communicate with the aid of a half-duplex relay node (RN), which adopts decode-forward (DF) relaying and superposition-modulation (SPM) for combining the signals transmitted by the source nodes (SNs) and then forwards the composite signal to all the destination nodes (DNs). Each DN extracts the signals transmitted by its own SN from the composite signal by subtracting the signals overheard from the unwanted SNs. We derive tight lower-bounds for the outage probability for transmission over Rayleigh fading channels and invoke diversity combining at the DNs, which is validated by simulation for both the symmetric and the asymmetric network configurations. For the high signal-to-noise ratio regime, we derive both an upperbound as well as a lower-bound for the outage performance and analyse the achievable diversity gain. It is revealed that a diversity order of 2 is achieved, regardless of the number of SN-DN pairs in the network. We also highlight the fact that the outage performance is dominated by the quality of the worst overheated link, because it contributes most substantially to the network coding noise. Finally, we use the lower bound for designing a relay selection scheme for the proposed SPM based network coded cooperative communication (SPM-NC-CC) system.<br/

Adaptive relay techniques for OFDM-based cooperative communication systems
Cooperative communication has been considered as a cost-effective manner to exploit the spatial diversity, improve the quality-of-service and extend transmission coverage. However, there are many challenges faced by cooperative systems which use relays to forward signals to the destination, such as the accumulation of multipath channels, complex resource allocation with the bidirectional asymmetric traffic and reduction of transmission efficiency caused by additional relay overhead. In this thesis, we aim to address the above challenges of cooperative communications, and design the efficient relay systems.
Starting with the channel accumulation problem in the amplify-and-forward relay system, we proposed two adaptive schemes for single/multiple-relay networks respectively. These schemes exploit an adaptive guard interval (GI) technique to cover the accumulated delay spread and enhance the transmission efficiency by limiting the overhead. The proposed GI scheme can be implemented without any extra control signal. Extending the adaptive GI scheme to multiple-relay systems, we propose a relay selection strategy which achieves the trade-off between the transmission reliability and overhead by considering both the channel gain and the accumulated delay spread. We then consider resource allocation problem in the two-way decode-and-forward relay system with asymmetric traffic loads. Two allocation algorithms are respectively investigated for time-division and frequency-division relay systems to maximize the end-to-end capacity of the two-way system under a capacity ratio constraint. For the frequency-division systems, a balanced end-to-end capacity is defined as the objective function which combines the requirements of maximizing the end-to-end capacity and achieving the capacity ratio. A suboptimal algorithm is proposed for the frequency-division systems which separates subcarrier allocation and time/power allocation. It can achieve the similar performance with the optimal one with reduced complexity. In order to further enhance the transmission reliability and maintaining low processing delay, we propose an equalize-and-forward (EF) relay scheme. The EF relay equalizes the channel between source and relay to eliminate the channel accumulation without signal regeneration. To reduce the processing time, an efficient parallel structure is applied in the EF relay. Numerical results show that the EF relay exhibits low outage probability at the same data rate as compared to AF and DF schemes
