Partial network coding with cooperation : a study over multi-hop communications in wireless networksPoocharoen, Panupat 12 May 2011 (has links)
The imperfections of the propagation channel due to channel fading and the self-generated noise from the RF front-end of the receiver cause errors in the received signal in electronic communication systems. When network coding is applied, more errors occur because of error propagation due to the inexact decoding process. In this dissertation we present a system called Partial Network Coding with Cooperation (PNC-COOP) for wireless ad hoc networks. It is a system which combines opportunistic network coding with decode-and-forward cooperative diversity, in order to reduce this error propagation by trading off some transmission degrees of freedom. PNC-COOP is a decentralized, energy efficient strategy which provides a substantial benefit over opportunistic network coding when transmission power is a concern. The proposed scheme is compared with both opportunistic network coding and conventional multi-hop transmission analytically and through simulation. Using a 3-hop communication scenario, in a 16-node wireless ad hoc network, it is shown that PNC-COOP improves the BER performance by 5 dB compared to opportunistic network coding. On average, it reduces the energy used by each sender node around 10% and reduces the overall transmitted energy of the network by 3.5%. When retransmission is applied, it is shown analytically that PNC-COOP performs well at relatively low to medium SNR while the throughput is comparable to that of opportunistic network coding. The effectiveness of both opportunistic network coding and PNC-COOP depends not only on the amount of network coding but also on other factors that are analyzed and discussed in this dissertation. / Graduation date: 2011 / Access restricted to the OSU Community at author's request from May 12, 2011 - May 12, 2012

On delay-sensitive communication over wireless systemsLiu, Lingjia 15 May 2009 (has links)
This dissertation addresses some of the most important issues in delay-sensitive
communication over wireless systems and networks. Traditionally, the design of communication
networks adopts a layered framework where each layer serves as a “black
box” abstraction for higher layers. However, in the context of wireless networks with
delay-sensitive applications such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), on-line gaming,
and video conferencing, this layered architecture does not offer a complete picture.
For example, an information theoretic perspective on the physical layer typically ignores
the bursty nature of practical sources and often overlooks the role of delay in
service quality. The purpose of this dissertation is to take on a cross-disciplinary
approach to derive new fundamental limits on the performance, in terms of capacity
and delay, of wireless systems and to apply these limits to the design of practical
wireless systems that support delay-sensitive applications. To realize this goal, we
consider a number of objectives.
1. Develop an integrated methodology for the analysis of wireless systems that
support delay-sensitive applications based, in part, on large deviation theory.
2. Use this methodology to identify fundamental performance limits and to design
systems which allocate resources efficiently under stringent service requirements.
3. Analyze the performance of wireless communication networks that takes advantage of novel paradigms such as user cooperation, and multi-antenna systems.
Based on the proposed framework, we find that delay constraints significantly
influence how system resources should be allocated. Channel correlation has a major
impact on the performance of wireless communication systems. Sophisticated power
control based on the joint space of channel and buffer states are essential for delaysensitive
communications.

On Resource Allocation for Communication Systems with Delay and Secrecy ConstraintsBalasubramanian, Anantharaman 2009 December 1900 (has links)
This dissertation studies fundamental limits of modern digital communication
systems in presence/absence of delay and secrecy constraints.
In the first part of this dissertation, we consider a typical time-division wireless
communication system wherein the channel strengths of the wireless users vary with
time with a power constraint at the base station and which is not subject to any
delay constraint. The objective is to allocate resources to the wireless users in an
equitable manner so as to achieve a specific throughput. This problem has been
looked at in different ways by previous researchers. We address this problem by
developing a systematic way of designing scheduling schemes that can achieve any
point on the boundary of the rate region. This allows us to map a desired throughput
to a specific scheduling scheme which can then be used to service the wireless users.
We then propose a simple scheme by which users can cooperate and then show that a
cooperative scheduling scheme enlarges the achievable rate region. A simple iterative
algorithm is proposed to find the resource allocation parameters and the scheduling
scheme for the cooperative system.
In the second part of the dissertation, a downlink time-division wireless sys-
tem that is subject to a delay constraint is studied, and the rate region and optimal
scheduling schemes are derived. The result of this study concludes that the achievable throughput of users decrease as the delay constraint is increased. Next, we consider
a problem motivated by cognitive radio applications which has been proposed as a
means to implement efficient reuse of the licensed spectrum. Previous research on this
topic has focussed largely on obtaining fundamental limits on achievable throughput
from a physical layer perspective. In this dissertation, we study the impact of im-
posing Quality of Service constraints (QoS) on the achievable throughput of users.
The result of this study gives insights on how the cognitive radio system needs to be
operated in the low and high QoS constraint regime.
Finally, the third part of this dissertation is motivated by the need for commu-
nicating information not only reliably, but also in a secure manner. To this end, we
study a source coding problem, wherein multiple sources needs to be communicated
to a receiver with the stipulation that there is no direct channel from the transmitter
to the receiver. However, there are many \agents" that can help carry the information
from the transmitter to the receiver. Depending on the reliability that the transmit-
ter has on each of the agents, information is securely encoded by the transmitter and
given to the agents, which will be subsequently given to the receiver. We study the
overhead that the transmitter has to incur for transmitting the information to the
receiver with the desired level of secrecy. The rate region for this problem is found
and simple achievable schemes are proposed. The main result is that, separate secure
coding of sources is optimal for achieving the sum-rate point for the general case of
the problem and the rate region for simple case of this problem.

Performance analysis of dual hop cellular networksIslam, Muhammad Adeel, Shah, Khan Ahmad January 2011 (has links)
Explosive growth in wireless technology caused by development in digital and RF circuit fabrications put some serious challenges on wireless system designers and link budget planning. Low transmit power, system coverage and capacity, high data rates, spatial diversity and quality of services (QOS) are the key factors in future wireless communication system that made it attractive. Dual-hop relaying is the promising underlying technique for future wireless communication to address such dilemmas. Based on dual-hop relaying this thesis addresses two scenarios. In the first case the system model employs dual-hop amplify and forward (AF) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) relay channels with transmit and receive antenna selection over independent Rayleigh fading channels where source and destination contain multiple antennas and communicate with each other with help of single antenna relay. It is assumed that the source and destination has perfect knowledge of channel state information (CSI). Our analysis shows that full spatial diversity order can be achieved with minimum number of antennas at source and destination i.e. min{N_s N_d }. In the second case the performance analysis of dual-hop amplify and forward (AF) multiple relay cooperative diversity network with best relay selection schemes over Rayleigh fading channels is investigated where the source and destination communicate with each other through direct and indirect links. Only the performance of best relay is investigated which participates in the transmission alone. The relay node that achieves highest SNR at the destination is selected as a best relay. Once again our analysis shows that full diversity order can be achieved with single relay with fewer resources compare to the regular cooperative diversity system. / Muhammad Adeel Islam 0046 700 412 343
