Analysis of Coverage Region for MIMO Relay Network with Multiple Cooperative DF-Relays
We study and analyze coverage region in MIMO communication systems for a
multiple-relay network with decode-and-forward (DF) strategy at the relays.
Assuming that there is a line-of-sight (LOS) propagation environment for
source-relay channels and channel state information is available at receivers
(CSIR), we consider the objective of maximizing coverage region for a given
transmission rate and show numerically the significant effect of propagation
environment on capacity bounds, optimal relay location and coverage region.
Also, we study the situation in which two adjacent relays cooperate in
transmission signals to the destination and show analytically that the coverage
region is extended compared to noncooperative scenario.Comment: Accepted for publication in International Symposium on Wireless

Digital-Signal-Type Identification Using an Efficient Identifier
Automatic digital-signal-type identification plays an important role for various applications. This paper presents a highly efficient identifier (technique) that identifies a variety of digital signal types. In this technique, a selected number of the higher-order moments and the higher-order cumulants up to eighth are utilized as the effective features. A hierarchical support-vector-machine- (SVMs) based structure is proposed for multiclass classification. A genetic algorithm is proposed in order to improve the performance of the identifier. Genetic algorithm selects the suitable parameters of SVMs that are used in the structure of the classifier. Simulation results show that the proposed identifier has high performance for identification of the considered digital signal types even at very low SNRs.</p
