机会式网络编码的系统中断性能

该文在两用户通过一个中继节点的协作向基站传送数据的无线通信环境下,研究了基于网络编码的中继策略。与通常的用户到中继的信道是可靠的这一假设不同,该文假设所有的信道都存在衰落现象,比较了复制重传中继策略、确定性网络编码策略和机会式网络编码策略对系统中断概率的影响。仿真结果说明了机会式网络编码中继策略具有较好的性能。     

新型机会中继编码协作:源自适应传输校验信息

在多中继协作网络中,机会中继编码协作已然成为一种高效且被广泛研究的协作策略,然而现有工作存在着资源浪费或者系统复杂度高的问题。为此,针对如何在资源利用率与系统复杂度之间获得良好折中的问题,该文提出一种新型的机会中继编码协作策略,在不增加额外开销的情况下,使源节点能够自适应地向目的节点发送校验信息。并在Nakagami信道模型下,给出了系统中断概率的解析表达和误比特率上界的闭式表达。仿真结果表明,与已有机会中继编码协作策略相比,在获得性能提升的同时,所提策略对系统复杂度和资源利用率均有所改善。     

联合网络编码和中继选择的协作传输方案及其性能分析

研究了Nakagami信道中联合网络编码和双向协作中继选择的中断与平均误码率的性能,基于3个时隙的网络编码方案提出了一种最小化较差用户误码率的协作中继选择策略。在Nakagami信道下,从双向通信的角度,通过理论分析得出其中断概率和平均误码率的解析式和渐近式,同时推导了无协作中继选择时网络编码的中断概率和平均误码率解析式。通过理论分析发现,当Nakagami信道衰落参数降低时,联合网络编码的协作中继选择方案相对于无协作中继选择时的性能增益将逐渐升高。数值仿真实验结果表明,所提策略的平均误码率性能要显著高于无协作中继选择时的网络编码性能。     

基于机会式网络编码的多用户信息交换

在两对用户通过一个公共中继节点的协作进行数据交换的无线通信环境下,该文研究了基于机会式网络编码的中继策略,即中继节点可以转发编码的分组,也可以转发未编码的分组的中继策略,说明了该中继策略与传统的复制重传中继策略相比能极大的减少系统功率消耗。传统的中继策略几乎必然导致分组的递交时延,而在机会式网络编码的中继策略下,中继节点为提高能量使用效率也可能导致某些分组递交时延增加。通过建立一个马氏链,该文刻画了在机会式网络编码的中继策略下每个分组的平均时延和平均功率消耗。仿真结果说明平均时延和平均功率消耗之间存在着某种折衷关系。对于缓冲区大小为1的情形,该文给出了这种折衷关系。      

基于协作通信的最佳中继选择方案

协作通信中的机会中继是一种基于即时信道状态选择的中继选择算法,可以获得与传统协作分集技术相同的分集增益,而不需要使用复杂的空时编码技术。但是多个节点同时竞争最佳中继时,可能出现冲突而导致选择失败。提出一种新的方案,通过引入候选节点限制策略以及控制信道对算法进行改进,仿真表明,该算法特别适用于候选中继较多的情况,可以在实现快速选择节点的同时降低选择失败概率。     

基于冗余前置的机会编码协同中继策略

对于多节点的协同网络,机会编码协同总是选择最佳中继参与协同,能够取得优越的中断概率性能。为了进一步提高中断概率性能,提出了基于冗余前置的机会编码协同中继策略,并对其在瑞利平坦慢衰落信道条件下的中断概率性能进行了计算机仿真。结果表明,所提策略的中断概率性能明显优于机会编码协同中继策略,若所要求的中断概率为10-3,当潜在协同中继数目为7,协同等级为0.5,目标信息速率为1 bit/s/Hz的条件下,所提策略较机会编码协同中继策略可以获得1.9 dB的信噪比增益。     

协作通信中的解码转发中继策略优化

在单中继协作通信系统模型下,研究了直接传输、固定解码转发（ DF）中继、选择DF中继和增量中继协议。为了提高协作通信系统的频谱效率和中断性能,通过比较源-目的端和中继-目的端的瞬时信道增益来判定是否需要采用协同通信模式,提出一种改进的解码转发方式（ IDF）。通过将选择DF中继和增量中继的优点结合,提出了一种增量选择中继（ ISR）策略,并给出了2种改进协议任意信噪比的中断概率表达式。仿真结果表明,与传统的单中继解码转发协议相比, IDF和ISR均具有更低的中断概率, ISR具有最低的中断概率。     

基于Turbo码的机会编码协同策略

提出一种多中继协同无线网络的机会编码协同策略,该策略基于Turbo编码,利用信道条件信息机会选择最优协同节点。通过数学分析,给出了系统中断性能和瑞利衰落下的中断概率表达式,计算机仿真结果进一步揭示了机会编码协同相对于传统编码协同的优势。     

用于机会中继的一种最佳中继选择算法

通过使用具有最佳瞬时信道质量的单个中继进行协作分集,机会中继可以获得与更为复杂的空时编码协作通信相同的分集增益。但是,随着可选择中继节点数的增加,最佳中继选择的失败概率会明显上升。文章提出了一种新的实用最佳中继选择算法,要求源站向最佳中继发送选择确认消息,竞争中继则在冲突发生后进行退避。仿真结果表明,采用新算法可以将选择失败的概率降低2～3个数量级,而增加的开销尚不到2％。     

中继选择方案的研究

已有研究结果表明,机会中继可以获得与更为复杂的空时编码协作通信相同的分集增益。文中提出一种改进的最好中继选择算法,通过CRC校验得到更好候选中继节点,并进行源节点确认来消除隐藏中继,并给出了源节点与目的节点不在通信范围内的通信方法。     

Diversity-and-multiplexing tradeoff and throughput of superposition coding relaying strategy

While the Network Coding cooperative relaying (NC-relaying) has the merit of high spectral ef-ficiency, Superposition Coding relaying (SC-relaying) has the merit of high throughput. In this paper, a novel concept, coded cooperative relaying, is presented, which is a unified scheme of the NC-relaying and SC-relaying. For the SC-relaying strategy which can be considered one-way coded relaying scheme with multi-access channel, the close-form solution of the outage probabilities of the basic signal and additional signal are obtained firstly. Secondly, the Diversity-and-Multiplexing Tradeoff (DMT) characteristics of ba-sic signal and additional signal are investigated entirely as well as the optimal close-form solutions. The compared numerical analysis shows the evaluation error of throughput based on the close-form solution is about 0.15 nats, which is within the acceptable error range. Due to the mutual effect between the both source signals, the available maximal values of the two multiplexing gains are less than 1.     

一种机会协作重传协议及其性能分析模型研究

 本文基于机会中继协作通信系统的优良特性,改进了传统的多中继ARQ(Automatic Repeat Request)协作分集机制,联合物理层与数据链路层优化了无线频谱与能量的利用率,并且首次提出了采用Markov(马尔可夫)吸收链方法的端到端性能分析模型.在此分析模型的基础上,对本文改进的机会协作重传协议进行了端到端成功传输概率、丢包率、时延、吞吐量等性能参数的数值分析,最后用仿真实验对此模型进行了验证,详细讨论了最大重传次数、信道衰落参数、总发送功率等对性能的影响.结果表明,本文改进的机会协作重传协议在节能、抗信道衰落方面,表现出了比直接重传协议和传统的多中继协作重传协议具有更优越的性能.     

中继节点随机均匀分布的机会中继

本文研究了中继节点空间随机均匀分布时,采用机会中继进行协作通信。在路径损耗及块衰落独立信道条件下,推导和分析了两节点间采用传统中继结合机会中继以及增量中继结合机会中继两种方式下的中断概率。数值仿真结果表明,虽然中继节点的空间随机分布破坏了高信噪比条件下中继节点能够提高的分集阶数,但机会中继仍比直接通信有更好的抗信道衰落能力。      

A cross-layer strategy for cooperative diversity in wireless sensor networks

We investigate the problem of how to minimize the energy consumption in multi-hop Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), under the constraint of end-to-end reliability Quality of Seervice (QoS) requirement. Based on the investigation, we jointly consider the routing, relay selection and power allocation algorithm, and present a novel distributed cross-layer strategy using opportunistic relaying scheme for cooperative communication. The results show that under the same QoS requirement, the proposed cross-layer strategy performs better than other cross-layer cooperative communication algorithms in energy efficiency. We also investigated the impact of several parameters on the energy efficiency of the cooperative communication in WSNs, thus can be used to provide guidelines to decide when and how to apply cooperation for a given setup.     

Energy Savings in OFDM Systems through Cooperative Relaying

Energy savings in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is an active research area. In order to achieve a solution, we propose a new cooperative relaying scheme operated on a per subcarrier basis. This scheme improves the bit error rate (BER) performance of the conventional signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR)‐based selection relaying scheme by substituting SNR with symbol error probability (SEP) to evaluate the received signal quality at the relay more reliably. Since the cooperative relaying provides spatial diversity gain for each subcarrier, thus statistically enhancing the reliability of subcarriers at the destination, the total number of lost subcarriers due to deep fading is reduced. In other words, cooperative relaying can alleviate error symbols in a codeword so that the error correction capability of forward error correction codes can be fully exploited to improve the BER performance (or save transmission energy at a target BER). Monte‐Carlo simulations validate the proposed approach.     

An opportunistic relaying‐based incremental hybrid DAF cooperative system

In this paper, an opportunistic relaying‐based incremental hybrid decode‐amplify‐forward (OR‐IHDAF) scheme that combines robust protocol switch with efficient relay selection is proposed in multi‐relay scenario to cope with the complex and variable channel environments. The proposed OR‐IHDAF scheme can improve the system performance significantly compared with the incremental hybrid decode‐amplify‐forward protocol with the increase of the possible candidate relay nodes and opportunistic relay selection. The analytical expression of the system outage probability of the OR‐IHDAF scheme is presented based on the probability density function and cumulative distribution function, which might be useful to avoid lengthy simulations. Numerical results show the correctness of our theoretical analysis and the performance improvement of the OR‐IHDAF scheme compared with the other current hybrid cooperative protocols and OR‐based cooperative schemes. The effects of the power allocation schemes on the outage probability are also provided. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

最佳中继协作通信系统的功率分配算法

Cooperative multiple relay system for frequency selective environment: outage analysis and power allocation

In this paper, we propose a novel cooperative relaying scheme with multiple relays for frequency selective wireless environment. In our proposed scheme, the frequency selective wireless channel is divided into flat fading sub‐channels. Cooperative relaying is then employed over each sub‐channel to improve the system diversity order. We then investigate the asymptotic behavior of the outage probability and show that the proposed scheme achieves full diversity order in both amplify and forward (AF) and adaptive decode and forward (ADF) relaying scenarios. Furthermore, we propose a power allocation strategy to minimize the system outage probability. Simulation results confirm our analysis and show that the proposed power allocation method outperforms uniform power allocation. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
