Selective Combining for Hybrid Cooperative Networks
In this study, we consider the selective combining in hybrid cooperative
networks (SCHCNs scheme) with one source node, one destination node and
relay nodes. In the SCHCN scheme, each relay first adaptively chooses between
amplify-and-forward protocol and decode-and-forward protocol on a per frame
basis by examining the error-detecting code result, and () relays will be selected to forward their received signals to the
destination. We first develop a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) threshold-based
frame error rate (FER) approximation model. Then, the theoretical FER
expressions for the SCHCN scheme are derived by utilizing the proposed SNR
threshold-based FER approximation model. The analytical FER expressions are
validated through simulation results.Comment: 27 pages, 8 figures, IET Communications, 201
Distributed Beamforming in Wireless Multiuser Relay-Interference Networks with Quantized Feedback
We study quantized beamforming in wireless amplify-and-forward
relay-interference networks with any number of transmitters, relays, and
receivers. We design the quantizer of the channel state information to minimize
the probability that at least one receiver incorrectly decodes its desired
symbol(s). Correspondingly, we introduce a generalized diversity measure that
encapsulates the conventional one as the first-order diversity. Additionally,
it incorporates the second-order diversity, which is concerned with the
transmitter power dependent logarithmic terms that appear in the error rate
expression. First, we show that, regardless of the quantizer and the amount of
feedback that is used, the relay-interference network suffers a second-order
diversity loss compared to interference-free networks. Then, two different
quantization schemes are studied: First, using a global quantizer, we show that
a simple relay selection scheme can achieve maximal diversity. Then, using the
localization method, we construct both fixed-length and variable-length local
(distributed) quantizers (fLQs and vLQs). Our fLQs achieve maximal first-order
diversity, whereas our vLQs achieve maximal diversity. Moreover, we show that
all the promised diversity and array gains can be obtained with arbitrarily low
feedback rates when the transmitter powers are sufficiently large. Finally, we
confirm our analytical findings through simulations.Comment: 41 pages, 14 figures, submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information

Joint Relay Selection and Power Allocation in Large-Scale MIMO Systems with Untrusted Relays and Passive Eavesdroppers
In this paper, a joint relay selection and power allocation (JRP) scheme is
proposed to enhance the physical layer security of a cooperative network, where
a multiple antennas source communicates with a single-antenna destination in
presence of untrusted relays and passive eavesdroppers (Eves). The objective is
to protect the data confidentially while concurrently relying on the untrusted
relays as potential Eves to improve both the security and reliability of the
network. To realize this objective, we consider cooperative jamming performed
by the destination while JRP scheme is implemented. With the aim of maximizing
the instantaneous secrecy rate, we derive a new closed-form solution for the
optimal power allocation and propose a simple relay selection criterion under
two scenarios of non-colluding Eves (NCE) and colluding Eves (CE). For the
proposed scheme, a new closed-form expression is derived for the ergodic
secrecy rate (ESR) and the secrecy outage probability as security metrics, and
a new closed-form expression is presented for the average symbol error rate
(SER) as a reliability measure over Rayleigh fading channels. We further
explicitly characterize the high signal-to-noise ratio slope and power offset
of the ESR to highlight the impacts of system parameters on the ESR. In
addition, we examine the diversity order of the proposed scheme to reveal the
achievable secrecy performance advantage. Finally, the secrecy and reliability
diversity-multiplexing tradeoff of the optimized network are provided.
Numerical results highlight that the ESR performance of the proposed JRP scheme
for NCE and CE cases is increased with respect to the number of untrustworthy
relays.Comment: 18 pages, 10 figures, IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and

Relay selection for multiple access relay channel with decode-forward and analog network coding
This paper presents a relay selection for decode-and-forward based on network
coding (DF-NC) and analog-NC protocols in general scheme of cellular network
system. In the propose scheme the two source node simultaneously transmit their
own information to all the relays as well as the destination node, and then, a
single relay i.e. best with a minimum symbol error rate (SER) will be selected
to forward the new version of the received signal. Simulation results show
that, the DF-NC scheme with considerable performance has exactness over
analog-NC scheme. To improve the system performance, optimal power allocation
between the two sources and the best relay is determined based on the
asymptotic SER. By increasing the number of relays node, the optimum power
allocation achieve better performance than asymptotic SER.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures; International Journal of Distributed and
