Outage Performance of Two-Hop OFDM Systems with Spatially Random Decode-and-Forward Relays
In this paper, we analyze the outage performance of different multicarrier
relay selection schemes for two-hop orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing
(OFDM) systems in a Poisson field of relays. In particular, special emphasis is
placed on decode-and-forward (DF) relay systems, equipped with bulk and
per-subcarrier selection schemes, respectively. The exact expressions for
outage probability are derived in integrals for general cases. In addition,
asymptotic expressions for outage probability in the high signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR) region in the finite circle relay distribution region are determined in
closed forms for both relay selection schemes. Also, the outage probabilities
for free space in the infinite relay distribution region are derived in closed
forms. Meanwhile, a series of important properties related to cooperative
systems in random networks are investigated, including diversity, outage
probability ratio of two selection schemes and optimization of the number of
subcarriers in terms of system throughput. All analysis is numerically verified
by simulations. Finally, a framework for analyzing the outage performance of
OFDM systems with spatially random relays is constructed, which can be easily
modified to analyze other similar cases with different forwarding protocols,
location distributions and/or channel conditions
A cross layer multi hop network architecture for wireless Ad Hoc networks
In this paper, a novel decentralized cross-layer multi-hop cooperative network architecture is presented. Our architecture involves the design of a simple yet efficient cooperative flooding scheme,two decentralized opportunistic cooperative forwarding mechanisms as well as the design of Routing
Enabled Cooperative Medium Access Control (RECOMAC) protocol that spans and incorporates the physical, medium access control (MAC) and routing layers for improving the performance of multihop communication. The proposed architecture exploits randomized coding at the physical layer to realize cooperative diversity. Randomized coding alleviates relay selection and actuation mechanisms,and therefore reduces the coordination among the relays. The coded packets are forwarded via opportunistically formed cooperative sets within a region, without communication among the relays and without establishing a prior route. In our architecture, routing layer functionality is submerged into the
MAC layer to provide seamless cooperative communication while the messaging overhead to set up routes, select and actuate relays is minimized. RECOMAC is shown to provide dramatic performance improvements, such as eight times higher throughput and ten times lower end-to-end delay as well as reduced overhead, as compared to networks based on well-known IEEE 802.11 and Ad hoc On Demand

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
Ultra Reliable UAV Communication Using Altitude and Cooperation Diversity
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that serve as aerial base stations
is expected to become predominant in the next decade. However, in order for
this technology to unfold its full potential it is necessary to develop a
fundamental understanding of the distinctive features of air-to-ground (A2G)
links. As a contribution in this direction, this paper proposes a generic
framework for the analysis and optimization of the A2G systems. In contrast to
the existing literature, this framework incorporates both height-dependent path
loss exponent and small-scale fading, and unifies a widely used
ground-to-ground channel model with that of A2G for analysis of large-scale
wireless networks. We derive analytical expressions for the optimal UAV height
that minimizes the outage probability of a given A2G link. Moreover, our
framework allows us to derive a height-dependent closed-form expression and a
tight lower bound for the outage probability of an \textit{A2G cooperative
communication} network. Our results suggest that the optimal location of the
UAVs with respect to the ground nodes does not change by the inclusion of
ground relays. This enables interesting insights in the deployment of future
A2G networks, as the system reliability could be adjusted dynamically by adding
relaying nodes without requiring changes in the position of the corresponding
UAVs
STiCMAC: A MAC Protocol for Robust Space-Time Coding in Cooperative Wireless LANs
Relay-assisted cooperative wireless communication has been shown to have
significant performance gains over the legacy direct transmission scheme.
Compared with single relay based cooperation schemes, utilizing multiple relays
further improves the reliability and rate of transmissions. Distributed
space-time coding (DSTC), as one of the schemes to utilize multiple relays,
requires tight coordination between relays and does not perform well in a
distributed environment with mobility. In this paper, a cooperative medium
access control (MAC) layer protocol, called \emph{STiCMAC}, is designed to
allow multiple relays to transmit at the same time in an IEEE 802.11 network.
The transmission is based on a novel DSTC scheme called \emph{randomized
distributed space-time coding} (\emph{R-DSTC}), which requires minimum
coordination. Unlike conventional cooperation schemes that pick nodes with good
links, \emph{STiCMAC} picks a \emph{transmission mode} that could most improve
the end-to-end data rate. Any station that correctly receives from the source
can act as a relay and participate in forwarding. The MAC protocol is
implemented in a fully decentralized manner and is able to opportunistically
recruit relays on the fly, thus making it \emph{robust} to channel variations
and user mobility. Simulation results show that the network capacity and delay
performance are greatly improved, especially in a mobile environment.Comment: This paper is a revised version of a paper with the same name
submitted to IEEE Transaction on Wireless Communications. STiCMAC protocol
with RTS/CTS turned off is presented in the appendix of this draf
