Cooperative Transmission Using Quasi-Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes with Adaptive Decode-and-Forward Relaying Protocol

In this paper, we propose a cooperative transmission scheme using quasi-orthogonal space-time block codes (QOSTBCs) for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay networks. Comparing with the conventional cooperative transmission scheme using orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs), the proposed scheme can achieve higher bandwidth efficiency with the same decoding complexity. Moreover, an adaptive decode-and-forward (ADF) relaying protocol is proposed based on one-bit channel state information (CSI) feedback. According to the CSI feedback, a better transmission mode can be selected between the direct transmission and decode-and-forward (DF) cooperative transmission. In addition, the outage performance of the proposed scheme is investigated and a closed-form upper bound on the outage probability is derived. The performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme can achieve a full diversity order, which is higher than that of the direct and DF cooperative transmissions.     

Outage Probability Analysis of Dual-Hop Decode-and-Forward Relaying Over Mixed Rayleigh and Generalized Gamma Fading Channels

In this letter, outage probability of dual-hop decode-and-forward (DF) relaying scheme is analyzed over mixed Rayleigh and generalized Gamma fading channels. Cooperation model considered in this work consists of a source, a relay and a destination. It is assumed that source-relay and relay-destination channels experience Rayleigh fading and generalized Gamma fading, respectively. Exact outage probability expression is derived and outage performance is illustrated for both direct transmission and DF relaying scheme.     

Differential Relay Strategies Over Downlink Channel in Two-User Cooperative Communication System

In this paper, we propose two differential relaying strategies; Active User Strategy (AUS) and Passive Users Relaying Strategy (PURS), which could be used by the base-station to transmit data of two users over downlink channels in a two-user cooperative communication network. Differential schemes are used so the users do not require the knowledge of channel gains for decoding of their data. The performance of both schemes is evaluated for the decode-and-forward, selection relaying, and incremental relaying protocols. For the decode-and-forward protocol, the performance heavily depends upon the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the link between source and relay. We propose a conditional probability of error based approach, which can be used to regulate the erroneous relaying of data. Both AUS and PURS are able to achieve performance gains as compared to the direct transmission differential scheme in the case of selection relaying and incremental relaying protocols at high SNRs. The proposed schemes perform better than their counterpart of the amplify-and-forward differential relaying proposed previously.     

基于模拟网络编码的多用户信息交换的中断概率

与通常假定一对用户通过一个中继节点进行数据交换不同,该文考虑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模型,研究了基于模拟网络编码的放大转发中继策略的中断概率。相对于传统的基于放大转发或译码转发等的、需要8个时隙实现数据交换的中继策略和传统的基于译码转发的、需要5个时隙实现数据交换的网络编码中继策略,模拟网络编码的中继策略只需要3个时隙就可以实现两对用户之间的数据交换,因而与前两种中继策略相比,基于模拟网络编码的中继策略能极大地提高系统的吞吐量（该中继策略分别提高了166％和66％的系统吞吐量）或者极大地减少中继节点的能量消耗。在所提的基于模拟网络编码中继策略下,该文进一步推导出了系统中断概率的上界和下界,数值分析结果表明该上下界比较接近,特别是当中继节点位于第一对用户节点中间时上下界非常接近。      

Performance Analysis of HARQ Transmission in Cooperative DF Relaying Systems

Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) is the well-known technique to improve the system throughput and link performance in wireless communication systems. It can also be applied together with the cooperative communication, which provides a new way of exploiting the spatial diversity. Firstly, we present the analytical framework of decode-and-forward (DF) relaying systems with the general hop-by-hop HARQ mechanism in this paper. Then, instead of capacity or outage performance which is only taken as the theoretical guide, the block error rate bound of cooperative DF relaying systems with HARQ transmission is analyzed by using weight enumerating functions. Numerical and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed analytical method and show the gain of HARQ transmission in DF relaying systems.     

D2D辅助的协作中继NOMA系统中TSRS策略及其中断性能分析

该文研究了D2D辅助的协作中继NOMA（DC-NOMA）网络,在中继用户（RU）转发信息的第二时隙,利用RU到蜂窝中心用户（CCU）的D2D通信链路传输新的信号。为了提高传输可靠性,设计了新的信号检测策略,通过完全利用边缘信息消除了用户间的干扰。基于新的信号检测策略,提出了一种两阶段中继选择策略（TSRS）。在满足蜂窝边缘用户（CEU）可靠接收的中继集合中,选择使CCU成功解码概率最大的中继。为了评估所提出的DC-NOMA方案,推导了每个用户的确切中断概率且通过仿真得到验证。仿真结果表明,在高信噪比区域,该文所提出的基于新的信号检测策略的DC-NOMA在TSRS方案下的中断性能优于部分中继选择方案（PRSS）和传统的DC-NOMA。特别地,增大中继数量可有效提高DC-NOMA系统的中断性能。      

Outage Probability of Regenerative Protocols for Two-Source Two-Destination Networks

In this paper, the analytical expressions for the outage probability of different decode-and-forward (DF) relaying strategies for two-source two-destination networks are evaluated allowing an investigation of their effectiveness in energy saving to be determined. Each source node transmits data to an interested destination node with the help of the remaining source node in a cooperative DF manner. Specifically, we consider four DF protocols, including repetition DF (RDF), parallel DF (PDF), network coding-based RDF (NC-RDF), and dirty paper coding-like network coding-based PDF (DPC-NC-PDF). The closed-form expression of the outage probability for each protocol is derived at high signal-to-noise ratio. The results show that the DPC-NC-PDF protocol achieves the best performance while the NC-RDF protocol is better than both the RDF and PDF protocols with proper linear NC coefficients. All the DF protocols are shown to achieve diversity order one and the highest multiplexing gain is achieved with the NC-RDF and DPC-NC-PDF protocols. Finally, simulation results are presented to verify the analytical findings and show the system throughput comparison of various DF protocols.     

On the energy efficiency of MIMO cooperative relaying networks

Cooperative relaying techniques can greatly improve the capacity of the multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) wireless system. The transmit power allocation (TPA) strategies for various relaying protocols have become very important for improving the energy efficiency. This article proposes novel TPA schemes in the MIMO cooperative relaying system. Two different scenarios are considered. One is the hybrid decode-and-forward (HDF) protocol in which the zero-forcing (ZF) process is operated on relays, and the other is the decode-and-forward (DF) protocol with relay node and antenna selection strategies. The simulation results indicate that the proposed schemes can bring about significant capacity gain by exploiting the nature of the relay link. Additionally, the proposed TPA scheme in the HDF system can achieve the same capacity as the equal TPA with fewer relay nodes used. Finally, the capacity gain with the proposed schemes increases when the distribution range of relay nodes expands.     

On optimum selection relaying protocols in cooperative wireless networks

In this letter, the outage probabilities of selection relaying protocols are analyzed and compared for cooperative wireless networks. It is assumed that both source and relay use equal allocated time in transmission. Depending on the quality of the source-relay channel, the relay may choose either Decode-and-Forward (DF), Amplify-and-Forward (AF), or Direct-Transmission (DT) to forward signals. It turns out that in terms of outage probability, two selection relaying schemes are better than others: selecting between DF and AF protocols (DF-AF) or selecting between DF and DT protocols (DF-DT). It is shown that with an equal power allocation, both of the DF-AF and DF-DT selection relaying protocols have the same asymptotic outage probability. However, with an optimum power allocation strategy, the DF-AF selection scheme is in general better than the DF-DT selection scheme. Note that the optimum power allocations depend on channel variances, not on instantaneous channel gains. When the quality of the relay-destination link is much better than that of the source-relay link, observed from simulation, the outage probability of the DF-AF selection protocol with its optimum power allocation is 1.5dB better than that of the DF-DT selection with its own optimum power allocation. Extensive simulations are presented to validate the analytical results.
