Self-concatenated code design and its application in power-efficient cooperative communications
In this tutorial, we have focused on the design of binary self-concatenated coding schemes with the help of EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) charts and Union bound analysis. The design methodology of future iteratively decoded self-concatenated aided cooperative communication schemes is presented. In doing so, we will identify the most important milestones in the area of channel coding, concatenated coding schemes and cooperative communication systems till date and suggest future research directions
Distributed Self-Concatenated Coding for Cooperative Communication
In this paper, we propose a power-efficient distributed binary self-concatenated coding scheme using iterative decoding (DSECCC-ID) for cooperative communications. The DSECCC-ID scheme is designed with the aid of binary extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) charts. The source node transmits self-concatenated convolutional coded (SECCC) symbols to both the relay and destination nodes during the first transmission period. The relay performs SECCC-ID decoding, where it mayor may not encounter decoding errors. It then reencodes the information bits using a recursive systematic convolutional (RSC) code during the second transmission period. The resultant symbols transmitted from the source and relay nodes can be viewed as the coded symbols of a three-component parallel concatenated encoder. At the destination node, three-component DSECCC-ID decoding is performed. The EXIT chart gives us an insight into operation of the distributed coding scheme, which enables us to significantly reduce the transmit power by about 3.3 dB in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) terms, as compared with a noncooperative SECCC-ID scheme at a bit error rate (BER) of 10-5. Finally, the proposed system is capable of performing within about 1.5 dB from the two-hop relay-aided network’s capacity at a BER of 10-5 , even if there may be decoding errors at the relay
Multi-Source Cooperative Communication with Opportunistic Interference Cancelling Relays
In this paper we present a multi-user cooperative protocol for wireless
networks. Two sources transmit simultaneously their information blocks and
relays employ opportunistically successive interference cancellation (SIC) in
an effort to decode them. An adaptive decode/amplify-and-forward scheme is
applied at the relays to the decoded blocks or their sufficient statistic if
decoding fails. The main feature of the protocol is that SIC is exploited in a
network since more opportunities arise for each block to be decoded as the
number of used relays NRU is increased. This feature leads to benefits in terms
of diversity and multiplexing gains that are proven with the help of an
analytical outage model and a diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) analysis.
The performance improvements are achieved without any network synchronization
and coordination. In the final part of this work the closed-form outage
probability model is used by a novel approach for offline pre-selection of the
NRU relays, that have the best SIC performance, from a larger number of NR
nodes. The analytical results are corroborated with extensive simulations,
while the protocol is compared with orthogonal and multi-user protocols
reported in the literature.Comment: in IEEE Transactions on Communications, 201
End to End Performance Analysis of Relay Cooperative Communication Based on Parked Cars
Parking lots (PLs) are usually full with cars. If these cars are formed into
a self-organizing vehicular network, they can be new kind of road side units
(RSUs) in urban area to provide communication data forwarding between mobile
terminals nearby and a base station. However cars in PLs can leave at any time,
which is neglected in the existing studies. In this paper, we investigate relay
cooperative communication based on parked cars in PLs. Taking the impact of the
car's leaving behavior into consideration, we derive the expressions of outage
probability in a two-hop cooperative communication and its link capacity.
Finally, the numerical results show that the impact of a car's arriving time is
greater than the impact of the duration the car has parked on outage
probability.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, accepted by ICACT201
On the effect of combining cooperative communication with sleep mode
Cooperation is crucial in (next-generation) wireless networks as it can greatly attribute to ensuring connectivity, reliability, performance, ... Relaying looks promising in a wide variety of network types (cellular, ad-hoc on-demand), each using a certain protocol. Energy efficiency constitutes another key aspect of such networks, as battery power is often limited, and is typically achieved by sleep mode operation. As the range of applications is very broad, rather than modelling one of the protocols in detail, we construct a high-level model capturing the two essential characteristics of cooperation and energy efficiency: relaying and sleep mode, and study their interaction. The used analytical approach allows for accurate performance evaluation and enables us to unveil less trivial trade-offs and to formulate rules-of-thumb applicable across all potential scenarios
