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
On the Performance of the Relay-ARQ Networks
This paper investigates the performance of relay networks in the presence of
hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ) feedback and adaptive power allocation.
The throughput and the outage probability of different hybrid ARQ protocols are
studied for independent and spatially-correlated fading channels. The results
are obtained for the cases where there is a sum power constraint on the source
and the relay or when each of the source and the relay are power-limited
individually. With adaptive power allocation, the results demonstrate the
efficiency of relay-ARQ techniques in different conditions.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Trans. Veh. Technol. 201
Multi-Antenna Cooperative Wireless Systems: A Diversity-Multiplexing Tradeoff Perspective
We consider a general multiple antenna network with multiple sources,
multiple destinations and multiple relays in terms of the
diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT). We examine several subcases of this most
general problem taking into account the processing capability of the relays
(half-duplex or full-duplex), and the network geometry (clustered or
non-clustered). We first study the multiple antenna relay channel with a
full-duplex relay to understand the effect of increased degrees of freedom in
the direct link. We find DMT upper bounds and investigate the achievable
performance of decode-and-forward (DF), and compress-and-forward (CF)
protocols. Our results suggest that while DF is DMT optimal when all terminals
have one antenna each, it may not maintain its good performance when the
degrees of freedom in the direct link is increased, whereas CF continues to
perform optimally. We also study the multiple antenna relay channel with a
half-duplex relay. We show that the half-duplex DMT behavior can significantly
be different from the full-duplex case. We find that CF is DMT optimal for
half-duplex relaying as well, and is the first protocol known to achieve the
half-duplex relay DMT. We next study the multiple-access relay channel (MARC)
DMT. Finally, we investigate a system with a single source-destination pair and
multiple relays, each node with a single antenna, and show that even under the
idealistic assumption of full-duplex relays and a clustered network, this
virtual multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system can never fully mimic a real
MIMO DMT. For cooperative systems with multiple sources and multiple
destinations the same limitation remains to be in effect.Comment: version 1: 58 pages, 15 figures, Submitted to IEEE Transactions on
