The Analysis of Secure HARQ with Chase Combining over Block Fading Channel

In this letter, the physical layer security of hybrid automatic repeat request with chase combining(HARQ-CC) scheme is investigated from the viewpoint of information theory. Different from the literature which used Wyner code, our analysis focuses on the general scenario without specific code. We firstly obtain the outage probability of both main channel and wiretap channel. Since retransmissions are completely determined by main channel, we then prove that its achievable diversity order equals to maximum transmission number() while this order of wiretap channel is only one. Furthermore, we evaluate the metric of secure gap which demonstrates the difference between main channel and wiretap channel with reliable and secure constraints. As increases, the secure gap decreases monotonously. When is large enough, the security can be guaranteed even if wiretap channel is better than main channel.

BER Performance Analysis of Asynchronous NOMA with Arbitrary Phase Offset

An asynchronous transmission scenario for non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)user signals with arbitrary phase offset is investigated in this paper.To improve the system performance in the user power-balanced conditions,we adopt a synthetic detection method at the receiver,i.e.,the jointly optimal maximal likelihood detection aided triangular successive interference cancellation(JO ML-TSIC)method.Analytical bit error rate(BER)solutions are obtained for a two-user case with the optimal,intentional onehalf symbol period time delay implemented between the user signals.Furthermore,closed-form BER solutions for the case using the triangular successive interference cancellation(TSIC)detection method are also derived for comparisons.Numerical results show that the JO ML-TSIC receiver for the asynchronous system outperforms the TSIC receiver as well as the synchronous successive interference cancellation(SIC)receiver in all the conditions concerned.The results also show that the superiority of the JO ML-TSIC receiver is strengthened when the signals experience flat Rayleigh fading channels compared to the TSIC and the synchronous SIC receivers.

Power allocation for collaborative transmission in LTE-Advanced

Collaborative transmission among evolved Node-Bs(eNBs)is one of the promising techniques for LTE-Advanced to provide broader coverage and higher spectral efficiency.The interference among multi-cell transmission can be mitigated by joint precoding,such as multi-cell block diagonalization(BD)at cooperative eNBs.The major difference between multi-cell and single-cell transmission is that the power constraint has to be considered on a per-eNB basis.To satisfy per-eNB power constraint(PePC),a simplified power allocation algorithm for the multi-cell BD based collaborative transmission is proposed in this paper.The algorithm provides a power allocation coefficient matrix for BD to meet PePC.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has a near-optimal performance with simplicity.
