The parallel encoding and decoding structure of turbo codes makes them natural candidate for codedcooperative scenarios. In this paper, we focus on one of the key components of turbo codes i.e., interleaver, and analyze its effect on the performance of coded-cooperative communication. The impact of an interleaver on the overall performance of cooperative systems depends on the type of an interleaver and its location in the cooperative encoding scheme. We consider code matched interleaver (CMI) as an optimum choice and present its role in a coded-cooperation scenario. The search and convergence of CMI for long interleaver sizes is an issue; therefore, a modification in the search conditions is included without any compromise on the performance of CMI. We also present analytical method to determine maximum S-constraint length for a CMI design. Further, we analyze the performance of two different encoding schemes of turbo codes, i.e., distributed turbo code (DTC) and distributed multiple turbo code (DMTC) after inclusion of CMI. Monte Carlo simulations show that CMI increases the diversity gain relative to other conventional interleavers such as uniform random interleaver. The channel is assumed to be Rayleigh fading among all communication nodes.
In this paper, we present a novel technique to use Reed-Muller (RM) codes for the wireless half-duplex coded-cooperative network. Plotkin's construction allows RM codes to be used in a coded-cooperative scheme. To improve the cooperation provided by the relay in a coded-cooperative scheme, a design criterion and an efficient algorithm to achieve the design objective are also suggested. Moreover, union bounds for average error probability are determined, for both the cooperative and the non-cooperative schemes based on RM codes in the Rayleigh fading channel. To generalize the proposed RM coded-cooperative scheme, we examined different RM codes at the source and at the relay. At the destination, soft decision maximum likelihood decoding (SD-MLD) and majority logic decoding are used. Theoretical analysis and Monte-Carlo simulations show that the proposed RM coded-cooperative scheme clearly outperforms the RM non-cooperative scheme.
In this paper, Plotkin’s construction is employed to buildup longer length polar codes with the help of shorter length polar codes. Firstly, we present the multi-level code construction steps for non-cooperative communication schemes. Secondly, we extend the proposed multi-level polar code construction to coded-cooperative scenarios due to the parallel split in the proposed encoding scheme. Since, relay plays a pivotal role in the overall bit error rate (BER) performance of the coded-cooperative schemes, therefore, an efficient criteria of information bit selection at the relay is also presented. Furthermore, we propose a novel joint successive cancellation decoding scheme, which is employed at the destination and provides significant coding gains. Various numerical simulations show that the proposed polar coded-cooperative scheme (PCCS) scheme not only outperforms non-cooperative polar coded scheme but also the existing cooperative schemes for polar codes under identical conditions over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels.
Abstract. This paper investigates the multiple relay codedcooperation scheme based on asymmetric turbo code (ATC) with multiple receive antennas over Rayleigh block fading channels. An encoding scheme based on ATC is proposed for coded-cooperation, i.e. distributed asymmetric turbo code (DATC). The code matched interleaver (CMI) is selected by a rigorous comparison with a uniform-random interleaver (URI). This optimum choice of interleaver at the relay nodes provides maximum benefit
