Performance Analysis of Mixed Amplify-and-Forward and Decode-and-Forward Protocol in Underlay Cognitive Networks

In this paper, we propose and evaluate outage performance of a mixed amplify-and-forward(AF) and decode-and-forward(DF) relaying protocol in underlay cognitive radio. Different from the conventional AF and DF protocols, in the proposed protocol, a secondary source attempts to transmit its signal to a secondary destination with help of two secondary relays. One secondary relay always operates in AF mode, while the remaining one always operates in DF mode. Moreover, we also propose a relay selection method, which relies on the decoding status at the DF relay. For performance evaluation and comparison, we derive the exact and approximate closedform expressions of the outage probability for the proposed protocol over Rayleigh fading channel. Finally, we run Monte Carlo simulations to verify the derivations. Results presented that the proposed protocol obtains a diversity order of three and the outage performance of our scheme is between that of the conventional underlay DF protocol and that of the conventional underlay AF protocol.

Outage performance of OFDM-based selective decode-and-forward cooperative networks over Weibull fading channels

The outage performance of OFDM-based decode-and-forward cooperative networks is studied. The channels are modeled as independent Weibull distributed coefficients. A closed-form expression for the outage probability is obtained for three selective relaying schemes in the Weibull fading channels and a derived optimum power allocation method based on the closed form expressions of outage probability debases the outage probability. Monte Carlo simulations verify the analytical results.

Network Coding Based on Linear Block Codes for Multi-source Cooperative Relaying Networks

In order to improve link performance of future wireless relay networks,a network coding scheme with linear block codes was proposed,which could be deployed in a relay network consisting of multi-source sending data to a common base station(BS) with the assistance of one relay node.At BS,an iterative decoding structure between one cooperative decoder and a number of single-source decoders was established using the relayed network codes and source codes.Further,the extrinsic information transfer(EXIT) chart technique was used to predict and analyze the convergence behavior of iterative decoder.The analysis and simulation results show that the bit error ratio(BER) performance of the proposed scheme outperforms reference scheme under different relay network coding matrices.Compared with a reference scheme without the multisource cooperation,the proposed scheme can obtain network coding gain from the relay network while not reduce its code rate.

An evaluation on the performance of codecs

A codec is a device or computer program for encoding or decoding a digital data stream or signal. Codec is a portmanteau of coder-decoder. According to different technical principles of audio compression, audio compression coding methods have their own characteristics. This paper considers that the coding quality is high and the digital rate is also high. In addition, according to the compressed data whether exists information loss, data compression coding can also be divided into two forms, which is lossless compression and lossy compression. Lossy compression method also called compression method for the amount of information. Lossy compression is always larger, widely used in audio compression. It is also familiar to us. However, for the more critical to the quality of people, especially the music enthusiast, lossy compression of audio files often cannot meet their quality on the requirements, and it is very necessary and lossless compression. Firstly, this paper has designed and executed tests to compare the performance ofcodecs by using my methodology. Then, it has analysed the results. Finally, there are conclusions on the relative merits of the codecs selected and some recommendations.

Real-Time Implementation for Reduced-Complexity LDPC Decoder in Satellite Communication

In this paper,it has proposed a realtime implementation of low-density paritycheck(LDPC) decoder with less complexity used for satellite communication on FPGA platform.By adopting a(2048.4096)irregular quasi-cyclic(QC) LDPC code,the proposed partly parallel decoding structure balances the complexity between the check node unit(CNU) and the variable node unit(VNU) based on min-sum(MS) algorithm,thereby achieving less Slice resources and superior clock performance.Moreover,as a lookup table(LUT) is utilized in this paper to search the node message stored in timeshare memory unit,it is simple to reuse and save large amount of storage resources.The implementation results on Xilinx FPGA chip illustrate that,compared with conventional structure,the proposed scheme can achieve at last 28.6%and 8%cost reduction in RAM and Slice respectively.The clock frequency is also increased to 280 MHz without decoding performance deterioration and convergence speed reduction.

Side information refinement in distributed video coding

Side information （SI） is one of the key issues in distributed video coding （DVC） and affects the compression performance of DVC largely. This paper proposes an SI refinement algorithm, in which the Wyner-Ziv （WZ） frame is split into two parts based on checkerboard pattern, and the two parts are encoded independently but decoded sequentially. In the decoding process, the part 1 is first decoded with the initial SI and partially decoded part （PDP） 1 is used to improve the motion vectors （MVs） and SI of both parts. At the next stage, the part 2 is decoded with the improved SI and PDP 2 is used to further refine MVs of the part 2. Then, SI of both parts are further refined. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the peak signal to noise ratio （PSNR） by up to 1.43 dB when compared with traditional DVC codec.

Performance of CO-OFDM system with RS-Turbo concatenated code

In this paper,the RS-Turbo concatenated code is applied to coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(CO-OFDM) system.RS(186,166,8) and Turbo code with code rate of 1/2 are employed for RS-Turbo concatenated code.Two decoding algorithms,which are Max-Log-MAP algorithm and Log-MAP algorithm,are adopted for Turbo decoding,and the iteration Berlekamp-Massey(BM) algorithm is adopted for RS decoding.The simulation results show that the bit error rate(BER) performance of CO-OFDM system with RS-Turbo concatenated code is significantly improved at high optical signal to noise ratio(OSNR),and the iteration number is reduced compared with that of the Turbo coded system.Furthermore,when the Max-Log-MAP algorithm is adopted for Turbo decoding,the transmission distance of CO-OFDM system with RS-Turbo concatenated code can reach about 400 km without error,while that of the Turbo coded system can only reach about 240 km when BER is lower than 10^(-4) order of magnitude.

Secrecy outage performance for wireless-powered relaying systems with nonlinear energy harvesters

We consider a cooperative system consisting of a source node, a destination node, N （N 〉 1） wirelesspowered relays, and an eavesdropper. Each relay is assumed to be with a nonlinear energy harvester, in which there exists a saturation threshold, limiting the level of the harvested power. For decode-and-forward and power splitting protocols, the Kth best relay is selected to assist the source-relay-destination transmission. An analytical expression for the secrecy outage probability is derived, and also verified by simulation.
