1	Subcarrier Power Allocation for OFDM-Based Dual-Hop Systems with AF Relaying Lee, Kuan-chou 28 July 2009 (has links) This thesis studies the subcarrier power allocation for the relayed signal in Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based dual-hop system where the relay node operated in amplify-and-forward (AF) scheme. The investigated system assumes that each subcarrier at the source node transmits the signal with uniform power distribution. Considering the separated sum power constraints which the power constraint at source and relay node are uncorrelated, the conventional iterative water-filling algorithm can maximize the system capacity. However, it requires high computational complexity and the performance improvement is limited when the source node transmits the signal with uniform power distribution, subcarrier power allocation at relay node for capacity maximization is impractical. To further enhance the system performance, a novel subcarrier power allocation method is derived into a closed-form for the relayed signal to minimize the summation of equivalent noise power of the destination node. Comparing with the existing schemes, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed power scaling scheme significantly improves system average bit error rate (ABER). amplify-and-forward dual-hop power allocation OFDM
2	PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF ARQ AND HYBRID ARQ OVER SINGLE-HOP, DUAL-HOP, AND MULTIBRANCH DUAL-HOP NETWORKS Hadjtaieb, Amir 05 1900 (has links) During the last decade, relay networks have attracted a lot of interest due to their numerous benefits. The relaying technique allows extending the coverage zone of wireless networks and offers a higher reliability for communication systems. The performance of relay networks can be improved further by the use of automatic repeat request (ARQ) and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) techniques. ARQ and HARQ are retransmission mechanisms that ensure a good quality of service even in absence of channel state information at the transmitter. We, firstly, study the spectral and energy efficiency of ARQ in Nakagami-m block-fading channels. We maximize both spectral efficiency and energy efficiency with respect to the transmitted power. We derive exact expressions as well as compact and tight approximation for the solutions of these problems. Our analysis shows that the two problems of maximizing spectral efficiency and energy efficiency with respect to the transmitted power are completely different and give different solutions. Additionally, operating with a power that maximizes energy efficiency can lead to a significant drop in the spectral efficiency, and vice versa. Next, we consider a three node relay network comprising a source, a relay, and a destination. The source transmits the message to the destination using HARQ with incremental redundancy (IR). The relay overhears the transmitted message, amplifies it using a variable gain amplifier, and then forwards the message to the destination. This latter combines both the source and the relay message and tries to decode the information. In case of decoding failure, the destination sends a negative acknowledgement. A new replica of the message containing new parity bits is then transmitted in the subsequent HARQ round. This process continues until successful decoding occurs at the destination or a maximum number M of rounds is reached. We study the performance of HARQ-IR over the considered relay channel from an information theoretic perspective. We derive exact expressions and bounds for the information outage probability, the average number of transmissions, and the average transmission rate. Moreover, we evaluate the delay experienced by Poisson arriving packets over the considered relay network. We also provide analytical expressions for the expected waiting time, the sojourn time, and the energy efficiency. The derived exact expressions are validated by Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, we consider a relay network consisting of a source, K relays, and a destination. The source transmits a message to the destination using HARQ-IR. We study the performance of HARQ-IR over dualhop multibranch amplify-and-forward relay channels. We derive exact expression for outage probability of the considered network. We investigate the benefit of relaying and the effect of changing the rate and the maximum number M of rounds on the outage probability.

3	End-to-End Performance Analysis for Amplify-and-Forward Relaying System with Variable Gain Chen, Jian-Ting 31 July 2012 (has links) Dual-hop transmission system can increase the transmission diversity via the cooperation of transmission nodes and can also overcome the channel fading effectively. This thesis proposes an outage probability analysis method for the AF relaying system where multiple antennas are equipped at source node and both the relay node and destination node just carry single antenna. Compare with previous work, the average signal to noise ratio of source to relay and relay to destination links are assumed to be two different variables, therefore we can get a more general performance analysis. We also extend our theoretical analysis to the system where multiple antennas are utilized at destination node. Simulation results are shown to verify the analysis of the proposed schemes in some representative scenarios. multiple antenna maximum ratio transmission Amplify-and-forward dual-hop outage probability
4	Performance evaluation and protocol design of fixed-rate and rateless coded relaying networks Nikjah, Reza 06 1900 (has links) The importance of cooperative relaying communication in substituting for, or complementing, multiantenna systems is described, and a brief literature review is presented. Amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) relaying are investigated and compared for a dual-hop relay channel. The optimal strategy, source and relay optimal power allocation, and maximum cooperative gain are determined for the relay channel. It is shown that while DF relaying is preferable to AF relaying for strong source-relay links, AF relaying leads to more gain for strong source-destination or relay-destination links. Superimposed and selection AF relaying are investigated for multirelay, dual-hop relaying. Selection AF relaying is shown to be globally strictly outage suboptimal. A necessary condition for the selection AF outage optimality, and an upper bound on the probability of this optimality are obtained. A near-optimal power allocation scheme is derived for superimposed AF relaying. The maximum instantaneous rates, outage probabilities, and average capacities of multirelay, dual-hop relaying schemes are obtained for superimposed, selection, and orthogonal DF relaying, each with parallel channel cooperation (PCC) or repetition-based cooperation (RC). It is observed that the PCC over RC gain can be as much as 4 dB for the outage probabilities and 8.5 dB for the average capacities. Increasing the number of relays deteriorates the capacity performance of orthogonal relaying, but improves the performances of the other schemes. The application of rateless codes to DF relaying networks is studied by investigating three single-relay protocols, one of which is new, and three novel, low complexity multirelay protocols for dual-hop networks. The maximum rate and minimum energy per bit and per symbol are derived for the single-relay protocols under a peak power and an average power constraint. The long-term average rate and energy per bit, and relay-to-source usage ratio (RSUR), a new performance measure, are evaluated for the single-relay and multirelay protocols. The new single-relay protocol is the most energy efficient single-relay scheme in most cases. All the multirelay protocols exhibit near-optimal rate performances, but are vastly different in the RSUR. Several future research directions for fixed-rate and rateless coded cooperative systems, and frameworks for comparing these systems, are suggested. / Communications acknowledgment signals amplify-and-forward relaying average capacity average power constraint bit error rate cooperative gain cooperative communication decode-and-forward relaying degree of freedom direct transmission distributed space-time coding dual-hop relaying energy efficiency energy per bit energy per symbol feedback communication fixed-rate coded relaying fixed-rate codes fixed-rate coding large SNR approximation maximal ratio combining maximum achievable rates maximum likelihood multiple access channels mutual information nonconcave fractional programming numerical optimization optimal power allocation orthogonal relaying outage optimality outage probability parallel channel coding peak power constraint power allocation schemes power fairness protocol design rateless coded relaying rateless codes rate efficiency rateless coding Rayleigh fading relay-to-source usage ratio relaying networks repetition coding selection relaying single-hop communication superimposed relaying symbol error rate
