Transmit Antenna Selection for Physical-Layer Network Coding Based on Euclidean Distance
Physical-layer network coding (PNC) is now well-known as a potential
candidate for delay-sensitive and spectrally efficient communication
applications, especially in two-way relay channels (TWRCs). In this paper, we
present the error performance analysis of a multiple-input single-output (MISO)
fixed network coding (FNC) system with two different transmit antenna selection
(TAS) schemes. For the first scheme, where the antenna selection is performed
based on the strongest channel, we derive a tight closed-form upper bound on
the average symbol error rate (SER) with -ary modulation and show that the
system achieves a diversity order of 1 for . Next, we propose a
Euclidean distance (ED) based antenna selection scheme which outperforms the
first scheme in terms of error performance and is shown to achieve a diversity
order lower bounded by the minimum of the number of antennas at the two users.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures, Globecom 2017 (Wireless Communications

Fundamental Limits of Spectrum Sharing for NOMA-based Cooperative Relaying
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) and spectrum sharing (SS) are two
emerging multiple access technologies for efficient spectrum utilization in the
fifth-generation (5G) wireless communications standard. In this paper, we
present a closed-form analysis of the average achievable sum-rate and outage
probability for a NOMA-based cooperative relaying system (CRS) in an underlay
spectrum sharing scenario. We consider a peak interference constraint, where
the interference inflicted by the secondary (unlicensed) network on the
primary-user (licensed) receiver (PU-Rx) should be less than a predetermined
threshold. We show that the CRS-NOMA outperforms the CRS with conventional
orthogonal multiple access (OMA) for large values of peak interference power at
the PU-Rx.Comment: 3 figures, Accepted for presentation in GLOBECOM-NOMAT5G workshop,

Performance Analysis of NOMA-based Cooperative Relaying in {\alpha} - {\mu} Fading Channels
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is widely recognized as a potential
multiple access technology for efficient radio spectrum utilization in the
fifth-generation (5G) wireless communications standard. In this paper, we study
the average achievable rate and outage probability of a cooperative relaying
system (CRS) based on NOMA (CRS-NOMA) over wireless links governed by the
- generalized fading model; here and designate the
nonlinearity and clustering parameters, respectively, of each link. The average
achievable rate is represented in closed-form using Meijer's G-function and the
extended generalized bivariate Fox's H-function (EGBFHF), and the outage
probability is represented using the lower incomplete Gamma function. Our
results confirm that the CRS-NOMA outperforms the CRS with conventional
orthogonal multiple access (CRS-OMA) in terms of spectral efficiency at high
transmit signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). It is also evident from our results that
with an increase in the value of the nonlinearity/clustering parameter, the SNR
at which the CRS-NOMA outperforms its OMA based counterpart becomes higher.
Furthermore, the asymptotic analysis of the outage probability reveals the
dependency of the diversity order of each symbol in the CRS-NOMA system on the
and parameters of the fading links.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, 1 table, accepted in IEEE International

User-Antenna Selection for Physical-Layer Network Coding based on Euclidean Distance
In this paper, we present the error performance analysis of a multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) physical-layer network coding (PNC) system with two
different user-antenna selection (AS) schemes in asymmetric channel conditions.
For the first antenna selection scheme (AS1), where the user-antenna is
selected in order to maximize the overall channel gain between the user and the
relay, we give an explicit analytical proof that for binary modulations, the
system achieves full diversity order of in the
multiple-access (MA) phase, where , and denote the number of
antennas at user , user and relay respectively. We present a
detailed investigation of the diversity order for the MIMO-PNC system with AS1
in the MA phase for any modulation order. A tight closed-form upper bound on
the average SER is also derived for the special case when , which is
valid for any modulation order. We show that in this case the system fails to
achieve transmit diversity in the MA phase, as the system diversity order drops
to irrespective of the number of transmit antennas at the user nodes.
Additionally, we propose a Euclidean distance (ED) based user-antenna selection
scheme (AS2) which outperforms the first scheme in terms of error performance.
Moreover, by deriving upper and lower bounds on the diversity order for the
MIMO-PNC system with AS2, we show that this system enjoys both transmit and
receive diversity, achieving full diversity order of in the MA phase for any modulation order. Monte Carlo simulations are
provided which confirm the correctness of the derived analytical results.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Communications. arXiv admin note: text overlap

Post enrolment based course timetabling: a description of the problem model used for track two of the second International Timetabling Competition
In this paper we give a detailed description of the problem model used in track-two of the second International Timetabling Competition, 2007-2008 www.cs.qub.ac.uk/itc2007/). This model is an extension of that used in the first timetabling competition, and we discuss the rationales behind these extensions. We also describe in detail the criteria that are used for judging solution quality and discuss other issues that are related to this. Finally we go over some of the strengths and
limitations of the model. This paper can be regarded as the official documentation for track-two of the timetabling competition
