In this paper, we consider a two way relay network for ship-to-ship communications in a fleet, where two communicating ships exchange the information with the help of a multi-antenna relay ship. For th network, we propose a rate-aware three-phase analog network coding to improve the reliability of the information exchange with asymmetric rates. The proposed scheme allows low-complex implementation of the relay without channel estimation by generating an improved analog network coded signal with the orthogonally received signals from two ships by using only the received signal power at each antenna. In addition, the proposed scheme reduces outages in the data exchange at asymmetric rates by adopting a rate-aware relay power allocation, which is confirmed by evaluating the outage performance via simulation.
This paper considers a relay system using two-layer superposition coding to minimize the expected distortion of a Gaussian source at the destination node. For the system, we propose two types of layer-selective relaying based on the local decoding result at the relay and the decoding result at the destination node fed back to the relay. One type of the proposed scheme uses decode-and-forward (DF) in the design of the relay signals, while the other type uses both DF and amplify-andforward (AF). For the proposed scheme, we analyze the outage probabilities and evaluate the expected distortion according to the relay location. The results reveal that the proposed scheme improves the finite SNR performance, in particular when the relay node is closer to the source node than it is to the destination node.
We consider multiuser multiple antenna two-way relaying systems in which all users exchange their data with their counterparts with the help of a relay. The systems complete all data exchanges in two time phases called multiple access phase and broadcasting phase for spectral efficiency and therby require an effective scheme reducing self-interference (SI) and multiuser interference (MUI). Different from the conventional scheme suppressing both SI and MUI at the relay, the proposed scheme adopts SI cancelation (SIC) at the users and renders the relay to suppress the MUI mainly considering the SIC output. We analyze the symbol error rate (SER) and the achievable diversity order of the proposed scheme when the multiple access phase is dominant in the performance and obtain simulation results on the SER and the sum rate under various conditions. The results show that the proposed scheme improves the symbol error rate and the sum rate remarkably at the cost of complexity increase.※ 이 논문은 정부(교육과학기술부) 재원으로 한국연구재단 지원을
This paper considers a cooperative communication system with a single relay node, where two-layer superposition coding and successive decoding is employed to reduce the expected distortion of a Gaussian source delivered. For the system, we propose a relay scheme which forwards an appropriate relay signal at the relay node, based on the local decoding result of layers and the decoding result of layers at the destination node fed back to the relay node. In the scheme, the relay signal is designed not only by applying decode-and-forward but also by applying amplify-and-forward to reduce the outage probability in final decoding of each layer. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated numerically in terms of the expected distortion at various relay locations using outage probabilities derived. The results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional schemes in most cases of the relay location and the gain gets larger when the relay node is closer to the source node in particular.
In this paper, we consider a two-way relay (TWR) system, where two user nodes exchange their information within two transmission phases, by the help of a relay node adopting physical layer network coding. In the system, two users transmit their binary phase shift keying symbols simultaneously in the first phase, and the relay node decodes the XORed version of two user data and broadcasts it back to two users in the second phase. The performance of the system is analyzed in terms of the average end-to-end symbol error probability in Nakagami-m fading channels, for which a tight upper bound is derived in a closed form to provide an accurate and handy estimate on the performance. The results show that our upper bounds are almost indistinguishable from simulation results for various channel and system configurations. In addition, the optimal relay location and power allocation for various conditions can be obtained quickly with our analysis.
