Broadcast strategies for the fading relay channel

2004-01-01
Broadcast strategy is an encoding technique that enables the reliably decoded rate to adapt to the actual channel state. This can be achieved if the transmitted signal is composed or superimposed information for different fading levels. In this work we apply the broadcast strategy to fading relay channels. The source encodes its information to two levels, the first one is decoded ir the channel state is "bad", and the superimposed information is decoded after the first one, ir the channel state is "good". This approach allows decoding some partial information both at the relay and at the destination, increasing the overall throughput of the system compared to amplify and forward (AF) and modified decode and forward (MDF), while resulting in two levels of diversity. We also argue that the broadcast approach over the relay channel also results in lower overall distortion when the source is also taken into account.

Unfolded Hybrid Beamforming With GAN Compressed Ultra-Low Feedback Overhead
Balevi, Eren; Andrews, Jeffrey G. (2021-12-01)
Optimizing a hybrid beamforming transmitter is a non-convex problem and requires channel state information, leading in most cases to nontrivial feedback overhead. We propose a methodology relying on the principles of deep generative models and unfolding to achieve near-optimal hybrid beamforming with reduced feedback and computational complexity. We first represent the channel as a low-dimensional manifold via a generative adversarial network (GAN) and search the optimum digital and analog precoders in this...
Multiple Description Coding Based Compress-and-Forward for the Broadcast Relay Channel
Yildirim, Seckin Anil; Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda (2012-01-01)
In this work, the broadcast relay channel (BRC) with one source, two destinations and a dedicated relay node is studied for both discrete memoryless and Gaussian channels. Unlike all the existing achievability schemes, which use decode-and-forward (DF) relaying for the BRC, the new achievability schemes are based on compress-and-forward (CF). Three different compression methods are proposed: naive, joint and multiple description coding based. In naive CF (nCF) and joint CF (jCF), the relay forms a single re...
An Accurate and Efficient Two-Stage Channel Estimation Method Utilizing Training Sequences with Closed Form Expressions
Candan, Çağatay (2011-12-01)
A novel two-stage frequency domain channel estimation method especially suitable for the estimation of long channels such as ultra wide band channels is proposed. The proposed method can efficiently use the sequences with closed form analytical expressions such as the Legendre sequences. (The suggested method does not require a computationally intense search for good training sequences which is infeasible for long training sequences.) The method is shown to present a minor improvement in the total estimatio...
Measurement reduction for mutual coupling calibration in DOA estimation
Aksoy, Taylan; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2012-05-17)
Mutual coupling is an important source of error in antenna arrays that should be compensated for super resolution direction-of-arrival (DOA) algorithms, such as Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm. A crucial step in array calibration is the determination of the mutual coupling coefficients for the antenna array. In this paper, a system theoretic approach is presented for the mutual coupling characterization of antenna arrays. The comprehension and implementation of this approach is simple leadi...
An IP multicast handoff scheme with focus on IGMP sourced latency
Baykal, Buyurman; Akan, OB (2002-07-05)
This paper focuses on the latency due to IGMP during inter-subnet handoffs in Mobile IP multicast networks and proposes a new method for this purpose. Pre-informing the neighbor subnets about the expected mobile hosts under the shadow cluster concept and triggering the preparation phase in advance are the fundamentals of the proposal. Performance improvement achieved through the method is discussed in the paper with the particular emphasis on QoS critical applications.
