Outage Probability of Dual-Hop Selective AF With Randomly Distributed and Fixed Interferers
The outage probability performance of a dual-hop amplify-and-forward
selective relaying system with global relay selection is analyzed for
Nakagami- fading channels in the presence of multiple interferers at both
the relays and the destination. Two different cases are considered. In the
first case, the interferers are assumed to have random number and locations.
Outage probability using the generalized Gamma approximation (GGA) in the form
of one-dimensional integral is derived. In the second case, the interferers are
assumed to have fixed number and locations. Exact outage probability in the
form of one-dimensional integral is derived. For both cases, closed-form
expressions of lower bounds and asymptotic expressions for high
signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio are also provided. Simplified
closed-form expressions of outage probability for special cases (e.g., dominant
interferences, i.i.d. interferers, Rayleigh distributed signals) are studied.
Numerical results are presented to show the accuracy of our analysis by
examining the effects of the number and locations of interferers on the outage
performances of both AF systems with random and fixed interferers.Comment: 35 pages, 11 figures, accepted with minor revisions for publication

Performance Analysis of a Dual-Hop Cooperative Relay Network with Co-Channel Interference
This paper analyzes the performance of a dual-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative relay network in the presence of direct link between the source and destination and multiple co-channel interferences (CCIs) at the relay. Specifically, we derive the new analytical expressions for the moment generating function (MGF) of the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and the average symbol error rate (ASER) of the relay network. Computer simulations are given to confirm the validity of the analytical results and show the effects of direct link and interference on the considered AF relay network
Performance analysis of mixed Nakagami- m and Gamma–Gamma dual-hop FSO transmission systems
In this paper, we carry out a unified performance analysis of a dual-hop relay system over the asymmetric links composed of both radio-frequency (RF) and unified free-space optical (FSO) links under the effect of pointing errors. Both fixed and variable gain relay systems are studied. The RF link is modeled by the Nakagami-m fading channel and the FSO link by the Gamma-Gamma fading channel subject to both types of detection techniques (i.e., heterodyne detection and intensity modulation with direct detection). In particular, we derive new unified closed-form expressions for the cumulative distribution function, the probability density function, the moment generating function (MGF), and the moments of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of these systems in terms of the Meijer's G function. Based on these formulas, we offer exact closed-form expressions for the outage probability (OP), the higher order amount of fading, and the average bit error rate (BER) of a variety of binary modulations in terms of the Meijer's G function. Furthermore, an exact closed-form expression of the end-to-end ergodic capacity is derived in terms of the bivariate G function. Additionally, by using the asymptotic expansion of the Meijer's G function at the high-SNR regime, we derive new asymptotic results for the OP, the MGF, and the average BER in terms of simple elementary functions
Performance study of an underlay cognitive radio network in the presence of co-channel interference
PhD ThesisMassive innovation in all aspects of the wireless communication network
has been witnessed over the last few decades. The demand for data
throughput is continuously growing, as such, the current regulations for
allocating frequency spectrum are not able to respond to this exponential growth. Cognitive radio (CR), has been proposed as a solution to
this problem. One of the possible scenarios of the implementation of CR
is underlay cognitive radio. In this thesis the performance of an underlay cognitive radio network (UCRN) in the presence of the co-channel
interference (CCI) is assessed.
Firstly, the impact of CCI on the dual-hop cooperative UCRN is investigated over Rayleigh fading channels. In order to do this, the exact outage
probability (OP), average error probability (AEP) and the ergodic capacity (EC) are studied. In addition, simple and asymptotic expressions
for the OP and AEP are derived. Furthermore, the optimal power allocation is investigated to enhance the network performance. Moreover,
the performance of a multi-user scenario is studied by considering the
opportunistic SNR-based selection technique.
Secondly, the effect of both primary network interference and CCI on
the dual-hop UCRN over Rayleigh fading channels are studied. The
equivalent signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) for this network
scenario is obtained by considering multi-antenna schemes at all receiver
nodes. The different signal combinations at the receiver nodes are investigated and compared, such as selection combining (SC) and maximum
ratio combining (MRC) techniques. Then, the equivalent probability
density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of
the network’s equivalent SINR are derived and discussed. Furthermore,
expressions for the exact OP, AEP, and EC are derived and reviewed.
In addition, asymptotic OP expressions are obtained for different case
scenarios to gain an insight into the network parameters.
Thirdly, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) UCRN is investigated
under the influence of primary transmitter interference and CCI over
Rayleigh fading channels. The transmit antenna selection and maximum
ratio combining (TAS/MRC) techniques are considered for examining
the performance of the secondary network. At first the equivalent SINR
for the system is derived, then the exact and approximate expressions
for the OP are derived and discussed.
Fourthly, considering Nakagami-m fading channels, the performance of
the UCRN is thoroughly studied with the consideration of the impact
of primary network interference and CCI. The equivalent SINR for the
secondary system is derived. Then, the system equivalent PDF and CDF
are derived and discussed. Furthermore, the OP and AEP performances
are investigated.
Finally, for the cases mentioned above, numerical examples in conjunction with MatLab Monte Carlo simulations are provided to validate the
derived results. The results show that CCI is one of the factors that
severely reduces the UCRN performance. This can be more observable
when the CCI power increases linearly with the transmission power of
the secondary transmitter nodes. Furthermore, it was found that in
a multi-user scenario the opportunistic SNR-based selection technique
consideration can improve the performance of the network. Moreover,
adaptive power allocation is found to give better results than equal power
allocation. In addition, cooperative communication can be considered to
be an effective way to combat the impact of transmission power limitation of the secondary network and interference power constraint. The
multi-antenna schemes are another important consideration for enhancing the overall performance. In fact, despite the interference from the
CCI and primary user sources, the multi-antennas scheme does not lose
its advantage in the UCRN performance improvementHigher Committee for Education Development in Iraq (HCED). I am also grateful to

Outage Probability of Dual-Hop Multiple Antenna AF Relaying Systems with Interference
This paper presents an analytical investigation on the outage performance of
dual-hop multiple antenna amplify-and-forward relaying systems in the presence
of interference. For both the fixed-gain and variable-gain relaying schemes,
exact analytical expressions for the outage probability of the systems are
derived. Moreover, simple outage probability approximations at the high signal
to noise ratio regime are provided, and the diversity order achieved by the
systems are characterized. Our results suggest that variable-gain relaying
systems always outperform the corresponding fixed-gain relaying systems. In
addition, the fixed-gain relaying schemes only achieve diversity order of one,
while the achievable diversity order of the variable-gain relaying scheme
depends on the location of the multiple antennas.Comment: Accepted to appear in IEEE Transactions on Communication
Rateless codes-based secure communication employing transmit antenna selection and harvest-to-jam under joint effect of interference and hardware impairments
In this paper, we propose a rateless codes-based communication protocol to provide security for wireless systems. In the proposed protocol, a source uses the transmit antenna selection (TAS) technique to transmit Fountain-encoded packets to a destination in presence of an eavesdropper. Moreover, a cooperative jammer node harvests energy from radio frequency (RF) signals of the source and the interference sources to generate jamming noises on the eavesdropper. The data transmission terminates as soon as the destination can receive a sufficient number of the encoded packets for decoding the original data of the source. To obtain secure communication, the destination must receive sufficient encoded packets before the eavesdropper. The combination of the TAS and harvest-to-jam techniques obtains the security and efficient energy via reducing the number of the data transmission, increasing the quality of the data channel, decreasing the quality of the eavesdropping channel, and supporting the energy for the jammer. The main contribution of this paper is to derive exact closed-form expressions of outage probability (OP), probability of successful and secure communication (SS), intercept probability (IP) and average number of time slots used by the source over Rayleigh fading channel under the joint impact of co-channel interference and hardware impairments. Then, Monte Carlo simulations are presented to verify the theoretical results.Web of Science217art. no. 70
