We consider the Gaussian N-relay diamond network, where a source wants to communicate to a destination node through a layer of N-relay nodes. We investigate the following question: What fraction of the capacity can we maintain by using only k out of the N available relays? We show that in every Gaussian N-relay diamond network, there exists a subset of k relays which alone provide approximately k/k+1 of the total capacity. The result holds independent of the number of available relay nodes N, the channel configurations and the operating SNR. The result is tight in the sense that there exists channel configurations for N-relay diamond networks, where every subset of k relays can provide at most k/k+1 of the total capacity. The approximation is within 3 log N + 3k bits/s/Hz to the capacity.

Relay Selection for Efficient HARQ-IR Protocols in Relay-Assisted Multisource Multicast Networks Quoc-Tuan Vien, Quoc-Tuan Vien; Nguyen, Huan X.; Shah, Purav; Ever, Enver; Duc To, Duc To (2014-05-21) This paper investigates relay selection for reliable data transmission in relay-assisted multisource multicast networks (RMMNs) where multiple source nodes distribute information to a set of destination nodes with the assistance of multiple relay nodes. Hybrid automatic repeat request with incremental redundancy (HARQ-IR) is used and supported by either a physical-layer network coding (PNC) or an analog network coding (ANC) technique employed at the relays. By deriving efficiency metrics of the HARQ-IR prot...
Van Kampen theorem for persistent fundamental group Batan, Mehmet Ali; Pamuk, Mehmetcik; Department of Mathematics (2019) Persistent homotopy is one of the newest algebraic topology methods in order to understand and capture topological features of discrete objects or point data clouds (the set of points with metric defined on it). On the other hand, in algebraic topology, the Van Kampen Theorem is a great tool to determine fundamental group of complicated spaces in terms of simpler subspaces whose fundamental groups are already known. In this thesis, we show that Van Kampen Theorem is still valid for the persistent fundamenta...
WAKE-UP RECEIVERS FOR WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS: BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES Demirkol, Ilker; Ersoy, Cem; Onur, Ertan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-08-01) For successful data delivery, the destination nodes should be listening to the medium to receive data when the sender node starts data communication. To achieve this synchronization, there are different rendezvous schemes, among which the most energy-efficient is utilizing wake-up receivers. Current hardware technologies of wake-up receivers enable us to evaluate them as a promising solution for wireless sensor networks. In this article the benefits achieved with wake-up receivers are investigated along wit...
Cooperative Multiple-Access in Fading Relay Channels Yılmaz, Ayşen (2006-06-15) Virtual antenna arrays can be constructed via relaying even in the case that there is insufficient physical space or other resources for multiple antennae on wireless nodes. When there is a multiple access scenario, relaying offers a variety of ways to establish communication between source and destination nodes. We will compare a scheme based on space division multiple access to previously studied time division based ones. We observe that space division improves especially the ergodic capacity.
Multiple-antenna cooperative wireless systems: A diversity-multiplexin tradeoff perspective Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda; Erkip, Elza (2007-10-01) We consider a general multiple-antenna network with multiple sources, multiple destinations, and multiple relays in terms of the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT). We examine several subcases of this most general problem taking into account the processing capability of the relays (half-duplex or full-duplex), and the network geometry (clustered or nonclustered). We first study the multiple-antenna relay channel with a full-duplex relay to understand the effect of increased degrees of freedom in the dire...
