스레스타,장경희,Shrestha, Suchitra,Chang, Kyung-Hi The Korea Institute of Information and Commucation 2008 韓國通信學會論文誌 Vol.33 No.4A

Cooperative relaying permits one or more relay to transmit a signal from the source to the destination, thereby increasing network coverage and spectral efficiency. The performance of cooperative relaying is often measured as outage probability. However, appropriate measure for the channel quality is outage capacity. Although the outage probability for cooperative relaying protocol has been analyzed before, very little research has been addressed for the outage capacity. This paper is the first of its kind to derive a closed-form analytical solution of outage capacity using fixed decode and forward relaying and amplify and forward relaying in dissimilar Rayleigh fading channels, considering channel coefficients known to the receiver side. The analytical results show a tradeoff between the SNR and the number of relays for specific outage capacity. A comparison between decode and forward relaying and amplify and forward relaying shows that decode and forward relaying outperforms amplify and forward relaying for a large number of relays.

고균병(Kyun-Byoung Ko),서정태(Jeong-Tae Seo) 大韓電子工學會 2011 電子工學會論文誌-TC (Telecommunications) Vol.48 No.8

본 논문에서는 이중 홉 증폭 후 전달(AF: Amplify-and-Forward) 릴레이 시스템에 대한 새로운 성능 분석 기법을 레일리 페이딩 채널에 대하여 제안한다. 기존의 분석 기법들에서는 S-R-D(Source-Relay-Destination) 링크의 수신 신호 대 잡음비 (SNR: Signal-to-Noise Ratio)에 대한 누적 분포 함수(CDF: Cumulative Distribution Function) 혹은 확률 밀도 함수 (PDF: Probability Density Function)로부터 모멘트 발생 함수(MGF: Moment Generating Function)를 유도한 후 평균 심벌 오류율을 유도된 MGF를 이용하여 표현하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 분석과 다른 새로운 접근법을 제안한다. 즉, S-R(Source-Relay) 링크 및 R-D(Relay-Destination) 링크의 PDF들로부터 S-R-D 링크에 대한 MGF를 직접 유도한다. 그리고 새롭게 유도된 MGF을 기존의 연구들에서 제시한 형태와 비교 분석한다. 또한 제안된 성능분석 기법의 정확성은 모의실험을 통하여 검증한다. 이를 통하여 제안된 분석 기법이 이중 홉 증폭 후 전달 릴레이 시스템에 대한 새로운 해를 제시함을 확인한다. In this paper, another analytical approach for dual-hop amplify-and-forward(AF) relay systems is proposed over Rayleigh fading channels. Previous approaches derived the moment generating function(MGF) by using the cumulative distribution function(CDF) or probability density function(PDF) of the received signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) for source-relay-destination(S-R-D) link. Then, the average symbol error rate is expressed based on derived MGFs. In this paper, another new approach is proposed. It means that the MGF is directly derived by utilizing PDFs of both source-relay(S-R) and relay-destination(R-D) links. Additionary, the newly derived MGF is compared and analyzed with previous ones. Furthermore, simulation results are presented to validate the accuracy of proposed analytical expression. Based on this, it is confirmed that the proposed analytical approach can be a another solution for dual-hop AF relay systems.

Exact Performance Analysis of AF Based Hybrid Satellite-Terrestrial Relay Network with Co-Channel Interference

( Umer Javed ),( Di He ),( Peilin Liu ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2015 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.9 No.9

This paper considers the effect of co-channel interference on hybrid satellite-terrestrial relay network. In particular, we investigate the problem of amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying in hybrid satellite-terrestrial link, where the relay is interfered by multiple co-channel interferers. The direct link between satellite and terrestrial destination is not available due to masking by surroundings. The destination node can only receive signals from satellite with the assistance of a relay node situated at ground. The satellite-relay link is assumed to follow the shadowed Rice fading, while the channels of interferer-relay and relay-destination links experience Nakagami-m fading. For the considered AF relaying scheme, we first derive the analytical expression for the moment generating function (MGF) of the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). Then, we use the obtained MGF to derive the average symbol error rate (SER) of the considered scenario for M-ary phase shift keying (M-PSK) constellation under these generalized fading channels.

Link Adaptation and Selection Method for OFDM Based Wireless Relay Networks

Can, Basak,Yomo, Hiroyuki,Carvalho, Elisabeth De The Korea Institute of Information and Commucation 2007 Journal of communications and networks Vol.9 No.2

We propose a link adaptation and selection method for the links constituting an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based wireless relay network. The proposed link adaptation and selection method selects the forwarding, modulation, and channel coding schemes providing the highest end-to-end throughput and decides whether to use the relay or not. The link adaptation and selection is done for each sub-channel based on instantaneous signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) conditions in the source-to-destination, source-to-relay and relay-to-destination links. The considered forwarding schemes are amplify and forward (AF) and simple adaptive decode and forward (DF). Efficient adaptive modulation and coding decision rules are provided for various relaying schemes. The proposed end-to-end link adaptation and selection method ensures that the end-to-end throughput is always larger than or equal to that of transmissions without relay and non-adaptive relayed transmissions. Our evaluations show that over the region where relaying improves the end-to-end throughput, the DF scheme provides significant throughput gain over the AF scheme provided that the error propagation is avoided via error detection techniques. We provide a frame structure to enable the proposed link adaptation and selection method for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)-time division duplex relay networks based on the IEEE 802.16e standard.

An Approximation of the Average BER Performance of Multi-Hop AF Relaying Systems with Fixed Gain

LEE, JunKyoung,JANG, SeungHun,YANG, JangHoon,KIM, DongKu The Institute of Electronics, Information and Comm 2009 IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS - Vol.92 No.10

<P>In this letter, we present a closed-form bound of the average bit error rate (BER) performance for the multi-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying systems with fixed gain in Rayleigh fading channel. The proposed bound is derived from the probability density function (PDF) of the overall multi-hop relay channel under the assumption of asymptotic high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at every intermediate relays. When intermediate relays actually operate at finite SNR, the proposed BER bound becomes looser as the SNR of the last hop increases. In order to reflect the effect of all the noise variances of relay links to the BER evaluation, a hop-indexed recursive BER approximation is proposed, in which the proposed bound of BER under asymptotic high SNR is used. The simulation results manifest that the proposed hop-indexed recursive BER approximation can not only guarantee accuracy regardless of the SNR of the last hop but also provide higher accuracy than the previous works.</P>

Evaluating Relay Beamwidth for Enhanced Coverage and Data Rates in Buoy-Assisted Maritime Communications

Kyeongjea Lee,Tae -Woo Kim,Sungyoon Cho,Ki-Won Kwon,DongKuKim 한국인터넷정보학회 2024 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.18 No.4

Maritime activities are on the rise, there is a growing demand for high-quality communication services that can cover larger areas. However, the transmission of high data rates to maritime users is challenging due to path loss from land base stations, which limits the transmission power. To overcome this challenge, researchers have been exploring the use of buoys in a marine environment as relays for communication technology. This paper proposes a simulation-based approach to investigate the impact of various beamwidths on communication performance when using a buoy as a relay. The objective is to determine the optimal beamwidth that yields the highest data rate for the target location. The approach is based on an offshore wave model where the direction of the buoy changes according to the height of the wave. The study investigates the performance of the relay in the downlink situation using receive beamforming, and the capacity at the user in the three-hop situation is verified using an amplify-and-forward (AF) relay that uses transmit beamforming to the user. The simulation results suggest that the beamwidth of the relay should be adjusted according to the wave conditions to optimize the data rate and relay position that satisfies a data rate superior to the direct path to the target position. Using a buoy as a relay can be a promising solution for enhancing maritime communications, and the simulation-based approach proposed in this paper can provide insights into how to optimize beamwidth for effective communication system design and implementation. In conclusion, the study results suggest that the use of buoys as relays for maritime communication is a feasible solution for expanding coverage and enhancing communication quality. The proposed simulation-based approach provides a useful tool for identifying relay beamwidths for achieving higher data rates in different wave conditions. These findings have significant implications for the design and deployment of communication systems in maritime environments.

릴레이 기반 셀룰러 네트웍을 위한 간섭 회피 빔 성형 기법

문철(Cheol Mun),정창규(Chang-Kyoo Jung) 한국전자파학회 2010 한국전자파학회논문지 Vol.21 No.10

본 논문에서는 빔 성형(beamforming) 기술을 사용하는 릴레이 기반 셀룰러 네트웍에서, 순방향 링크 채널 상태에 대한 제한된 피드백 정보를 이용하여, 동시에 전송되는 송신기과 수신기 사이의 직접 링크(direct link)와 중계기(relay station)와 수신기 사이의 중계 링크(relaying link) 간의 간섭을 효과적으로 억제하는 간섭 회피(interference avoidance) 빔 성형 기술을 제안한다. 이를 위해 송신기는 빔 성형을 사용하여 한정된 공간으로만 직접 링크 신호 전력을 전송하고, 송신기의 간섭 전력이 도달하지 않는 공간 영역에 위치한 릴레이들의 relaying을 허용함으로써, 효과적으로 직접 링크와 중계 링크간 간섭을 억제할 수 있는 충돌 회피(collision avoidance) 스케줄링 기술을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안하는 간섭 회피 빔 성형 기술이 중계 링크의 전송 용량을 보장하면서 동시에 전송되는 직접 링크 전송 용량을 최대화 할 수 있음을 보인다. In this paper, for a relay-based cellular network, a interference avoidance beamforming technique is proposed to enhance direct link capacity while minimizing loss in the capacity of concurrent relaying link. A direct link is transmitted by beamforming at the transmitter, and the relaying link with the least interference to the direct link is scheduled to transmit data by a collision avoidance scheduling algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed IA beamforming provides a considerable direct link capacity enhancement while minimizing relaying link capacity loss by effectively mitigating inference between concurrent direct and relaying links only with limited feedback.

An energy-efficiency approach for bidirectional amplified-and-forward relaying with asymmetric traffic in OFDM systems

( Nianlong Jia ),( Wenjiang Feng ),( Yuanchang Zhong ),( Hong Kang ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2014 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.8 No.11

Two-way relaying is an effective way of improving system spectral efficiency by making use of physical layer network coding. However, energy efficiency in OFDM-based bidirectional relaying with asymmetric traffic requirement has not been investigated. In this study, we focused on subcarrier transmission mode selection, bit loading, and power allocation in a multicarrier single amplified-and-forward relay system. In this scheme, each subcarrier can operate in two transmission modes: one-way relaying and two-way relaying. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer programming problem. We adopt a structural approximation optimization method that first decouples the original problem into two suboptimal problems with fixed subcarrier subsets and then finds the optimal subcarrier assignment subsets. Although the suboptimal problems are nonconvex, the results obtained for a single-tone system are used to transform them to convex problems. To find the optimal subcarrier assignment subsets, an iterative algorithm based on subcarrier ranking and matching is developed. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve system performance compared with conventional methods. Some interesting insights are also obtained via simulation.

Outage Analysis of OFDM-Based Cognitive AF Relay Network in the presence of Narrowband Interference

Samikkannu Rajkumar,V.N.SenthilKumaran,S.J.Thiruvengadam 한국전자통신연구원 2015 ETRI Journal Vol.37 No.3

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is one of the most widely used technologies in current wireless communication systems and standards. Cognitive radio (CR) provides a robust solution to the problem of spectrum congestion as it offers opportunistic usage of frequency bands that are not occupied by primary users. Due to the underlying sensing, spectrum shaping, scaling, and interoperable capabilities of OFDM, it has been adapted as a best transmission technology for CR wireless systems. However, the performance of an OFDM-based CR wireless system is affected by the existence of narrowband interference (NBI) from other users. Further, due to carrier frequency offset in NBI sources, NBI energy may spread over all subcarriers of an OFDM signal. In this paper, a fixed Amplify-and-Forward (AF) relay that operates at a frequency band that is different from that of direct mode is introduced to suppress the effect of NBI. Analytical expressions are derived for outage probability in direct, AF-relay, and incremental relaying modes. The outage performance of the proposed AF relay–based CR network is proven to be better than that of direct mode.
