Performance Analysis of Cooperative Wireless Backhaul Networks Operating at Extremely High Frequencies

Extremely high frequency (EHF) bands above 50 GHz have been proposed to be used as backhaul links of modern cellular mobile networks. They provide interconnectivity between the base stations and the core network. In this paper, we propose the employment of cooperative techniques in backhaul networks. More specifically, the outage performance analysis of a simple cooperative diversity system operating at EHF bands is presented. The destination node combines the direct link with the signal received through a regenerative relay using selection combining. A combined statiform and convective model of rainfall rate for the rain attenuation prediction is considered. The correlation properties and the joint statistics among the microwave paths are also calculated. Numerical results present the impact of the geometrical parameters and the climatic conditions on the outage performance.     

Analysis of downlink power control and cooperation scheme for two‐tier heterogeneous cellular network

The traditional cellular network cannot keep pace with the dramatic growth in data traffic due to exponentially increasing number of multimedia applications and mobile subscribers. Recently, femto base stations (FBSs) are deployed with the macro base station (MBS) tier for off‐loading the data traffic and to improve the indoor coverage of the heterogeneous cellular network. However, FBS deployment also increases the cross‐tier interference of the heterogeneous cellular network resulting in outage performance degradation of MBS tier. This work develops an analytical framework to limit the cross‐tier interference of MBS tier using power control scheme (PCS). The proposed PCS works on path loss inversion and location‐based power level rule for FBS. Moreover, a cooperation scheme and an association policy with MBS (CSAPM) are introduced to improve the outage performance of the FBS tier. Tools from the stochastic geometry are used for deriving the signal to interference and noise ratio outage probability, total outage probability, and area spectral efficiency (ASE) of MBS tier and FBS tier. Additionally, ASE maximization problem is formulated to evaluate the optimal density of FBSs. The effectiveness of the proposed PCS and CSAPM on outage performance and ASE are numerically demonstrated. It is noted from the results that the proposed CSAPM can compensate the loss in outage performance of FBS tier due to PCS. Finally, simulation results validate the analytical results.     

Cognitive Heterogeneous Networks with Unreliable Backhaul Connections

To enhance the spectrum scarcity of cooperative heterogeneous networks (HetNets) with unreliable backhaul connections, we examine the impact of cognitive spectrum sharing over multiple small-cell transmitters in Nakagami-m fading channels. In this system, the secondary transmitters are connected to macro-cell via wireless backhaul links and communicate with the secondary receiver by sharing the same spectrum with the primary user. Integrating cognitive radio (CR) network into the system, we address the combined power constraints: 1) the peak interference power at the primary user and 2) the maximal transmit power at the secondary transmitters. In addition, to exclude the signaling overhead for exchanging channel-state-information (CSI) at the transmitters, the selection combining (SC) protocol is assumed to employ at the receivers. To evaluate the performance, we first derive the closed-form statistics of the end-to-end signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio, from which the exact outage probability, ergodic capacity and symbol error rate expressions are derived. To reveal further insights into the effective unreliable backhaul links and the diversity of fading parameters, the asymptotic expressions are also attained. The two interesting non-cooperative and Rayleigh fading scenarios are also investigated. Numerical results are conducted to verify the performance of the considered system via Monte-Carlo simulations.     

Performance Analysis of Maximum SNR Scheduling with an Infrastructure Relay Link

We consider infrastructure-based amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying for extending downlink and uplink coverage areas of a cellular base station. The base station serves multiple mobile users via a multi-hop backhaul relay link by sharing out access link channel resources with maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) scheduling. We analyze the performance of the system by deriving closed-form expressions for outage probability, outage capacity, ergodic capacity, average end-to-end SNR and amount of fading (AoF). These measures show that maximum SNR scheduling of multiple users in a cellular relay link offers significant diversity, capacity and SNR improvement over single-user transmission and round robin scheduling. We also relate performance of the relay link to that of a distributed antenna system (DAS), and show that the noisy wireless backhaul relay link induces tolerable performance deterioration compared to deploying a cable-connected distributed antenna.     

Performance Evaluation of Relay Assisted Wireless Powered Network over Fluctuating Two Ray Fading Channel with Diversity Reception

Recently wireless powered networks have emerged as cutting-edge technology for addressing the power constraint issue of wireless devices (WD’s). This technology enables wireless nodes to harness power from the ambient radio frequency (RF) signal thus enhances the energy efficiency of the communication network and also improves the network longevity. The underlying principle of energy harvesting (EH) by wireless power transfer (WPT) has implications on system performance due to link distance and channel fading. To address the impact of channel fading on energy constraints WD’s this work explores the maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity at the receiver node for the presented simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) model considering the energy constraint unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mounted amplify and forward (AF) relay. Assuming fluctuating two ray (FTR) fading scenario a novel analytical expression for the outage probability (OP) and symbol error rate (SER) for the presented system has been derived. As the FTR fading channel provides a generalized fading model and can significantly model millimeter wave band signals. Based on derived performance metrics this paper investigates the impact of variation on node positioning and EH time allocation factor on system outage probability (OP) and symbol error rate (SER) performance. Finally, the derived expression has been validated by comparing the results obtained from the Monte Carlo simulation.

     

Cooperative transmission in energy harvesting-based cognitive D2D networks

A cognitive device-to-device (D2D) network with D2D transmitters (DTs) that harvest radio-frequency energy from the primary transmitters (PTs) is investigated. A novel D2D transmitter-assisted cooperative (DTAC) protocol is proposed, in which a group of DTs that have no transmission opportunity act as potential relays to improve the communications of the primary network. The outage probability of the primary networ is characterized and used to make comparisons between the direct link and the cooperative link which adopts selection combining and maximal-ratio combining (MRC) schemes at the primary receivers. The cooperative link with MRC scheme improves the outage performance of the primary network with direct link, as much as 93%. The active probability of the DTs and the outage probability are derived, and the D2D network throughput is maximized by finding an optimal transmission power for the PTs. Simulation results are provided to validate the theoretical analysis.     

Rain attenuation characteristics on 20 GHz band multirelay links

The performance of rain outage time on multirelay links that are necessary for circuit design of millimeter communication systems is examined. The analysis is based on about four years of rain attenuation data at 20 GHz band on 13 tandem links near Tokyo. Using these data, the path separation dependency of the joint probability and the path correlation coefficient due to rain are made clear. Also, the outage time probability and the thermal noise accumulation due to rain on multirelay links are evaluated on the basis of observed data. These results are applicable to the design of a millimeter wave multirelay transmission system.
