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

Power Allocation Based on SEP Minimization in Two-Hop Decode-and-Forward Relay Networks
The problem of optimal power allocation among the relays in a two-hop
decode-and-forward cooperative relay network with independent Rayleigh fading
channels is considered. It is assumed that only the relays that decode the
source message correctly contribute in data transmission. Moreover, only the
knowledge of statistical channel state information is available. A new simple
closed-form expression for the average symbol error probability is derived.
Based on this expression, a new power allocation method that minimizes the
average symbol error probability and takes into account the constraints on the
total average power of all the relay nodes and maximum instant power of each
relay node is developed. The corresponding optimization problem is shown to be
a convex problem that can be solved using interior point methods. However, an
approximate closed-form solution is obtained and shown to be practically more
appealing due to significant complexity reduction. The accuracy of the
approximation is discussed. Moreover, the so obtained closed-form solution
gives additional insights into the optimal power allocation problem. Simulation
results confirm the improved performance of the proposed power allocation
scheme as compared to other schemes.Comment: 27 pages, 5 figures, submitted to the IEEE Trans. Signal Processing

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
Efficient Power Allocation Schemes for Hybrid Decode-Amplify-Forward Relay Based Wireless Cooperative Network
Cooperative communication in various wireless domains, such as cellular networks, sensor networks and wireless ad hoc networks, has gained significant interest recently. In cooperative network, relays between the source and the destination, form a virtual MIMO that creates spatial diversity at the destination, which overcomes the fading effect of wireless channels. Such relay assisted schemes have potential to increase the channel capacity and network coverage. Most current research on cooperative communication are focused broadly on efficient protocol design and analysis, resource allocation, relay selection and cross layer optimization. The first part of this research aims at introducing hybrid decode-amplify-forward (HDAF) relaying in a distributed Alamouti coded cooperative network. Performance of such adaptive relaying scheme in terms of symbol error rate (SER), outage probability and average channel capacity is derived theoretically and verified through simulation based study. This work is further extended to a generalized multi HDAF relaying cooperative frame work. Various efficient power allocation schemes such as maximized channel capacity based, minimized SER based and total power minimization based are proposed and their superiority in performance over the existing equal power allocation scheme is demonstrated in the simulation results. Due to the broadcast nature of wireless transmission, information privacy in wireless networks becomes a critical issue. In the context of physical layer security, the role of multi HDAF relaying based cooperative model with control jamming and multiple eavesdroppers is explored in the second part of the research. Performance evaluation parameters such as secrecy rate, secrecy outage and intercept probability are derived theoretically. Further the importance of the proposed power allocation schemes in enhancing the secrecy performance of the network in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers is studied in detail through simulation based study and analysis. For all the proposed power allocation schemes in this research, the optimization problems are defined under total power constraint and are solved using Lagrange multiplier method and also evolutionary algorithms such as Differential evolution and Invasive Weed Optimization are employed. Monte Carlo simulation based study is adopted throughout the research. It is concluded that HDAF relaying based wireless cooperative network with optimal power allocation schemes offers improved and reliable performance compared to conventional amplify forward and decode forward relaying schemes. Above research contributions will be applicable for future generation wireless cooperative networks
