Optimal cooperative beamforming design schemes for AF MOMO two-way relay channels

In this paper,beamforming parameters in multiple input multiple output(MIMO) two-way relay channels(TWRCs) are designed.We investigate three communicating scenarios,in which,the source nodes are all equipped with multiple antennas.In the first scenario,one pair of source nodes are communicating with each other under the help of a single multi-antenna equipped relay.A centralized scheme is correspondingly developed where the optimal relay beamforming(RaB) is jointly designed with the transmit beamformings(TBs) and the receive beamformings(RcBs) at both source nodes to minimize the sum of mean square errors(SMSE).In the second scenario,one pair of users in the first scenario is extended to multi-pair of source nodes.We derive a general expression of the optimal RaB matrix of this scenario in the second scheme,and based on which,a RaB matrix is designed to cancel the inter-pair interference(IPI) and to minimize the intra-pair SMSE.At last,we consider a distributed scenario where multiple single-antenna equipped relays are helping the communication between one pair of source nodes.In the scheme associated with this scenario,beamformings are developed under relay total power constraint and relay individual power constraint,respectively.The simulation results reveal that beamformings at source and relay nodes significantly improve the performance in the sense of average bit error rate(BER).The proposed multi-pair scheme has made superior progress in BER performance because it not only can cancel the IPIs but also can balance the useful signal and the noise at each user.Moreover,in one-pair scenarios,the performance of the centralized scheme is better than the distributed one,but the latter is nevertheless much more practical.

Opportunistic Relaying Schemes for Amplify and Forward Bidirectional Relay Channels with Multi antenna Sources

We consider a two-way relay network where the Amplify-and-Forward (AF) protocol is adopted by all relays in this paper.The network consists of two multi-antenna source nodes and multiple distributed single-antenna relays.Two opportunistic relaying schemes are proposed to efficiently utilize the antennas of the source nodes and the relay nodes.In the first scheme,the best relay is selected out by a max-min-max criterion before transmitting.After that,at each source,only the antenna with the largest channel gain between itself and the best relay is activated to transmit and receive signals with full power.In the second scheme,assisted by the best relay which is selected by the typical max-min criterion,both source nodes use all their antennas to exchange data,and match filter beamforming techniques are employed at both source nodes.Further analyses show that all schemes can achieve the full diversity order,and the conclusions are not only mathematically demonstrated but numerically illustrated.System performance comparisons are carried out by numerical methods in terms of rate sum and outage probability,respectively.The beamforming assisted scheme can be found to be superior to the antenna selection scheme when accurate Channel State Information (CSI) is available at the transmitters.Otherwise,the latter is very suitable.

Diversity-multiplexing tradeoff of half-duplex multi-input multi-output two-way relay channel with decode-and-forward protocol

A multi-input multi-output(MIMO) separated two-way relay channel(STWRC) is considered,where two users exchange their messages via a relay node.When each link is quasi-static Rayleigh fading,the achievable diversity-multiplexing tradeoff(DMT) of the half-duplex STWRC is analyzed.Firstly,the achievable DMT of the STWRC with static decode-and-forward(DF) protocol is obtained.Then,a dynamic decode-and-forward(DDF) protocol for the STWRC is proposed,where the relay listening time varies dynamically with the channel qualities of the links between two users and the relay.Finally,the achievable DMT of the proposed DDF protocol is derived in a case-bycase manner.Numerical examples are also provided to verify the theoretical analysis of both protocols.

Automatic Classification of Superimposed Modulations for 5G MIMO Two-Way Cognitive Relay Networks

To promote reliable and secure communications in the cognitive radio network,the automatic modulation classification algorithms have been mainly proposed to estimate a single modulation.In this paper,we address the classification of superimposed modulations dedicated to 5G multipleinput multiple-output(MIMO)two-way cognitive relay network in realistic channels modeled with Nakagami-m distribution.Our purpose consists of classifying pairs of users modulations from superimposed signals.To achieve this goal,we apply the higher-order statistics in conjunction with the Multi-BoostAB classifier.We use several efficiency metrics including the true positive(TP)rate,false positive(FP)rate,precision,recall,F-Measure and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)area in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of correct superimposed modulations classification.Computer simulations prove that our proposal allows obtaining a good probability of classification for ten superimposed modulations at a low signal-to-noise ratio,including the worst case(i.e.,m=0.5),where the fading distribution follows a one-sided Gaussian distribution.We also carry out a comparative study between our proposal usingMultiBoostAB classifier with the decision tree(J48)classifier.Simulation results show that the performance of MultiBoostAB on the superimposed modulations classifications outperforms the one of J48 classifier.In addition,we study the impact of the symbols number,path loss exponent and relay position on the performance of the proposed automatic classification superimposed modulations in terms of probability of correct classification.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF TWO-WAY AMPLIFY-AND-FORWARD RELAYING SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE INTERFERERS AT THE RELAY

In this paper,we investigate the performance of the two-way Amplify-and-Forward(AF) relaying systems in an interference-limited Rayleigh fading environment.More specifically,assuming the presence of Rayleigh faded multiple interferers at the AF relay and noisy sources,an approximate closed-form expression for the Overall Outage Probability(OOP) and an integral expression for the average Symbol Error Probability(SEP) are derived.The analysis results are verified through com-parison with the Monte Carlo simulation results.

Power control for two-way amplify-and-forward relaying over Rayleigh fading channels

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.

Simulation results are performed to verify the analytical results.

Optimal energy-efficient scheme for two-way relay channel using physical layer network coding

Systems are always designed and optimized based on full traffic load in the current literatures. However, practical systems are seldom operating at full load, even at peak traffic hours. Instead of maximizing system rate to achieve the full load, an optimal energy-efficient scheme to minimize the transmit power with required rates is investigated in this article. The considered scenario is a two-way relay channel using amplify-and-forward protocol of physical layer network coding, where two end nodes exchange messages via multiple relay nodes within two timeslots. A joint power allocation and relay selection scheme is designed to achieve the minimum transmit power. Through convex optimization theory, we firstly prove that single relay selection scheme is the most energy-efficient way for physical layer network coding. The closed-form expressions of power allocation are also given. Numerical simulations demonstrate the performance of the designed scheme as well as the comparison among different schemes.

Based on Dinkelbach method, a Taylor expansion based approximation method and the Generalized Lagrange Multiplier Method have been applied iteratively to obtain the near optimal relay amplified matrix and power allocation,respectively. And the simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and the algorithm can converge quickly.

简单高效的新型多向中继网络编码方法

为进一步提升全信息交互的多用户多向中继网络的吞吐量和传输可靠性,提出一种简单高效的新型网络编码方法.本文方法基于多级双向网络编码操作,用户两两配对同时向中继节点发送信息符号,中继通过对接收的叠加信号进行硬判决检测以确定这两个符号是否同号,并将判决结果广播给所有用户.如果同号,则可确定这两个用户各自的发送信息;如果异号,则任意选出其中一个用户,参与下一轮配对,直到实现所有用户的信息交互.理论分析和仿真结果表明提出方法较传统路由方法和现有的二进制网络编码方法,单源单信道的吞吐量都有显著的提升.而且,由于三电平脉冲幅度调制(3-PAM)的简单特性,与大规模多向中继网络的文献方法相比,本文方法的复杂度更低,可靠性更高.此外,在加性高斯白噪声(AWGN)信道下,采用基于低密度校验(LDPC)码的新型网络编码可以进一步增强可靠性.仿真结果表明:用户数目越多,本文方法较文献方法的增益越大,并且联合信道编码后的增益进一步加大.
