Amplify-and-forward (AF) mode with a low complexity is easy to be implemented. Under the consideration of cooperative communication systems, the scenario includes one information source, M relay stations and N destinations. This work proposes a relay selection algorithm in the Raleigh fading channel. Based on the exhaustive search method, easily to realize, the optimal selection scheme can be found with a highly complicated calculation. In order to reduce the computational complexity, an approximate optimal solution with a greedy algorithm applied for the relay station selection is proposed. With different situations of the communication systems, the performance evaluation obtained by both the proposed algorithm and the exhaustive search algorithm are given for comparison. It shows the proposed algorithm could provide a solution approach to the optimal one.展开更多

Asymptotic performance analysis can provide valuable insights in- to practical system designs. However, this is a gap in two-way relay network. In this paper, the asymptotic performance is studied for multi-branch dual-hop two-way amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying networks in independently but not necessarily identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) Nakagami-m fading channels, with arbitrary m 〉 5. The approximate prob- ability density function (PDF) of the instantaneous dual-hop link power at high SNR region is derived. Then we present the asymptotic outage probability expression, and analyze the diversity order and coding gain. Simulations are per- formed to verify the tightness of the presented analysis at medium and high SNR regions.展开更多

In this paper, we consider a cooperative communication system operating in an amplify-and-forward (AF) mode with a pilot symbol as-sisted modulation (PSAM) scheme. It is assumed that a linear minimum mean square estimator (LMMSE) is used for the channel estimation at the receiver. A simple and easy-to-evaluate asymptotical upper bound (AUB) of the symbol-error-rate (SER) is derived for uncoded AF cooperative communication systems with quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellations. Based on the AUB, we propose a criterion for the parameter optimization in the PSAM scheme. We discuss how the pilot spacing and the length of the Wiener ?lter should be chosen under the constraint of a tradeoff between pilot overhead, estimation accuracy, and receiver complexity. We also formulate an power allocation problem for the considered system. It is shown that the power allocation problem can optimally be solved by means of a gradient search method. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the correctness of the theoretical results and to demonstrate the benefits of the parameter optimization.展开更多

Under line-of-sight (LOS) propagation conditions in such cooperative networks, the overall fading channel can be modeled by a double Rice process. In this article, we have stud-ied the statistical properties of the capacity of double Rice fading channels. We have derived the analytical expressions for the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), level- crossing rate (LCR), and average duration of fades (ADF) of the channel capacity. The obtained results are studied for different values of the amplitudes of the LOS components in the two links of double Rice fading channels. It has been observed that the statistics of the capacity of double Rice fading channels are quite dif-ferent from those of double Rayleigh and classical Rice fading channels. Moreover, the presence of an LOS component in any of the two links increases the mean channel capacity and the LCR of the channel capacity. The validity of the theoretical results is confirmed by simulations. The results presented in this article can be very useful for communication system designers to optimize the performance of cooperative networks in wireless communication systems.展开更多

By making use of M-PSK modulation, a closed-form symbol-error-rate (SER) formulation and corresponding upper bound are first derived. Subsequently the OPA method is utilized to minimize the SER. Comparison of the SER of the proposed OPA method with that of the equal power allocation (EPA) method, shows that the SER of both methods, which is approximately optimal performance, is almost the same when relays are near the source. OPA outperforms the EPA when the relays are near the middle between the source and destination or near the destination. The proposed OPA method depends only on the ratio of mean channel gains of the source-to-relay to those of the relay-to-destination. Extensive simulations are performed to validate the theoretical results.展开更多

In this regard, this article focuses on relay selection based on partial channel knowledge only across the source and relay links. In particular, the two fundamental questions will be answered, that is, whether to cooperate and whom to cooperate with. Through answering these two questions, an improved relay selection strategy based on partial relay link, which emphasizes that cooperation happens when necessary, is proposed to aim at maximizing the average mutual information. Then a joint optimization, in terms of power allocation and relay selection, is employed to guarantee a robust performance for relay selection based on partial relay link. Optimum power is allocated between the source and the selected relay to maximize the output signal-to-noise (SNR) at the destination. Simulation results turn out that the improved scheme can achieve better performance than previous work and the robust performance can be guaranteed by employing joint optimization.展开更多

The scheme requires no knowledge of the channel state information at both transmitters and receivers, and effectively decreases the realization complexity due to no channel estimation. Moreover, it has lower decoding complexity and higher coding advantage than the existing scheme, thus avoiding the shortcoming of exponential decoding complexity of some existing schemes. According to the pairwise error probability (PEP) analysis of the system, the power allocations of source and relay terminals are jointly optimized, and as a result, the PEP is minimized, which will provide a helpful guideline for system design. Numerical calculation and simulation results show that the developed scheme is superior to the existing scheme. Moreover, the scheme with optimal power allocation yields obvious performance improvement over that with equal power allocation.展开更多

Specifically, the selected secondary transmitter assists the primary user with achieving its target SNR via two-phase cooperative amplify-and-forward relaying. By searching for the candidate secondary transmitters which have already satisfied the primary user's target SNR, we can select the optimal secondary transmitter. This optimal secondary transmitter not only satisfies the primary user's target SNR,but also maximizes the throughput of the secondary user. We study this joint optimization problem such that the secondary user's throughput is maximized under the constraint that satisfies the primary user's target SNR.Numerical results show that our scheme can maximize the throughput of the secondary user, and can obtain the win-win solution for the primary and secondary systems.展开更多

This paper investigates amplify-and-forward (AF) relay scheme to mitigate this reliability problem for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-UWB communication. The relay can be used to acquire capacity gain and diversity gain just like multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) system. The first investigation focuses on the relay-node selection criterion and combination ratio for capacity gain. Capacity gain depends on the correlation of frequency responses between direct link and relay link in addition to signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of relay link. Increased similarity of the two frequency responses increases capacity gain. Capacity gain's best relay and combination ratio are found by taking the derivative of the capacity equation. Solution of the quadratic derivative equation of ratio finds the optimal ratios for every potential relay node. The second investigation focuses on relay-node selection criterion and combination ratio for diversity gain. Higher diversity gain corresponds to less deep-faded sub-channels of combined signal. Reduced computation divides the problem into two steps: the first step selects the relay node according to the criterion that is dependent on the expectation value and variance of S(f)--the function of SNR of Jq the second step solves the optimization problem for optimal combination ratio. Numerical simulation shows that our scheme is effective in pursuit of capacity gain and of diversity gain.展开更多

The exact closed-form expression for the outage probability is derived, and the asymptotic behavior of the outage probability is also presented to provide further insights into the system performance. Our results show that the system suffers a diversity gain loss caused by the outdated CSI, and the interference only degrade the coding gain of the system. Moreover, increasing antennas can achieve more performance gains, however, the gains decrease as the delay of the CSI increases.展开更多

The optimal D2D transmission powers of these two modes to maximize the energy efficiency are also investigated.展开更多

文摘In this paper, we present a special spectrum sharing scheme that is a joint optimization of relay selection and power allocation at the secondary transmitter, where the primary user is incapable of supporting its target signal-to-noise ratio(SNR). Specifically, the selected secondary transmitter assists the primary user with achieving its target SNR via two-phase cooperative amplify-and-forward relaying. By searching for the candidate secondary transmitters which have already satisfied the primary user's target SNR, we can select the optimal secondary transmitter. This optimal secondary transmitter not only satisfies the primary user's target SNR,but also maximizes the throughput of the secondary user. We study this joint optimization problem such that the secondary user's throughput is maximized under the constraint that satisfies the primary user's target SNR.Numerical results show that our scheme can maximize the throughput of the secondary user, and can obtain the win-win solution for the primary and secondary systems.

文摘Due to its large bandwidth and the complexity of indoor environment, the ultra-wideband (UWB) channel is frequency selective, which affects the data rate and reliability of UWB communication. This paper investigates amplify-and-forward (AF) relay scheme to mitigate this reliability problem for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-UWB communication. The relay can be used to acquire capacity gain and diversity gain just like multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) system. The first investigation focuses on the relay-node selection criterion and combination ratio for capacity gain. Capacity gain depends on the correlation of frequency responses between direct link and relay link in addition to signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of relay link. Increased similarity of the two frequency responses increases capacity gain. Capacity gain's best relay and combination ratio are found by taking the derivative of the capacity equation. Solution of the quadratic derivative equation of ratio finds the optimal ratios for every potential relay node. The second investigation focuses on relay-node selection criterion and combination ratio for diversity gain. Higher diversity gain corresponds to less deep-faded sub-channels of combined signal. Reduced computation divides the problem into two steps: the first step selects the relay node according to the criterion that is dependent on the expectation value and variance of S(f)--the function of SNR of Jq the second step solves the optimization problem for optimal combination ratio. Numerical simulation shows that our scheme is effective in pursuit of capacity gain and of diversity gain.
文摘This article analyzed multi-user diversity performance for multiple input single output (MISO) amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying network with selection combiner, and the closed-form outage probabilities for variable gain relaying and fixed gain relaying network are derived. Based on these results, diversity order is presented for variable gain relaying network. Simulation results validate the derived theoretical results, and the diversity order of variable gain relaying network with Nr available relays is K (Nt + Nr) in K users' scenario, where Nt is the number of source transmitter antennas.

文摘The performance of transmit diversity (TD) assisted amplify-and-forward (AF) relay system with partial relay selection, which experiences mixed Rayleigh and Rician fading channels, is investigated. We first investigate the closed-form expression of the cumulative distribution function for the end-to-end equivalent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and then the exact expressions of outage probability and average symbol error probability (SEP) are derived. The theoretical observations are verified by the Monte Carlo simulation results.

文摘We propose two novel power control policies for a two-way amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying system,in which each node (two sources and one relay) is assumed to operate under bothminimum and peak power constraints.Through the exploitation of instantaneous channel gains,the first policy can maximize the sum rate of the system.However,the instantaneous channel gains may be unavailable in a rapid time-varying system,where the first policy is inoperable.Consequently,a robust power control policy which requires only mean channel gains is proposed to maximize the upper bound of the average sum rate,and the properties of this policy are investigated.Simulation results show that,by comparison with the policy in which all the nodes use their peak transmit power,the proposed power control policies can provide considerable system performance improvement.Furthermore,the performance difference between the two proposed policies is negligible when the relay is close to one source.

文摘In this paper, we investigate the outage performance of a dual-hop amplify-and-forward(AF) multipleinput multiple-output(MIMO) relay network, considering beamforming transmission with outdated channel state information(CSI) and an arbitrary number of co-channel interferers at both the relay and the destination. The exact closed-form expression for the outage probability is derived, and the asymptotic behavior of the outage probability is also presented to provide further insights into the system performance. Our results show that the system suffers a diversity gain loss caused by the outdated CSI, and the interference only degrade the coding gain of the system. Moreover, increasing antennas can achieve more performance gains, however, the gains decrease as the delay of the CSI increases.

文摘In this paper, we investigate the energy efficiency and spectrum efficiency, including one-hop device-to-device(D2D) communications mode and two-way amplify-and-forward(AF) relaying D2D communications mode in underlay D2D communications enabled cellular networks. An analysis of average energy efficiency and spectrum efficiency are developed and closed-form expressions are obtained for two types of D2D communications modes under the effect of Rayleigh fading channel, path loss, and co-channel interference. Analytical results are validated through numerical simulations. Based on the simulation, the effects of the interference, the distance between D2D pair and the position of relay node on the energy efficiency and spectrum efficiency of D2D communications are investigated. The optimal D2D transmission powers of these two modes to maximize the energy efficiency are also investigated.

文摘Non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)technique is an expert on channel differences exploiting.In this paper,a dual-hop NOMA-based cooperative relaying network where a best relay is selected as an active node to accomplish the communication between a source and a destination is discussed.We assume that both decode-and-forward(DF)and amplify-and-forward(AF)protocols are applied to the selected relay.The metrics that ergodic sum-rate and outage probability are investigated,and the closed-form expressions of the latter for DF and AF protocols are derived.Numerical and simulation results are conducted to verify the validity of the theoretical analysis,in which we can see that the NOMA based DF relaying is better than the NOMA based AF relaying and other existing NOMA-based cooperative communication schemes.
