Diversity in relaying protocols with amplify and forward

2003-01-01
We examine a network consisting of one source, one destination and two amplifying and forwarding relays and consider a scenario in which destination and relays can have various processing limitations. For all possible diversity combining schemes at the relays and at the destination, we find diversity order results analytically and confirm our findings through numerical calculations of bit error rate (BER) versus signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) curves. We compare our results with direct transmission, well known transmit diversity methods and traditional multihop transmission and conclude that diversity reception in multihop networks provides the lowest error rate.

Diversity gains and clustering in wireless relaying
Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda; Erkip, E (2004-01-01)
We consider a wireless system consisting of one source, one destination and M relays. Assuming path loss and Rayleigh fading, we use the cutset upper bound to show that no matter where the relays are located, the maximum diversity one can obtain is M + 1. However, one can achieve a higher diversity gain, namely [(M+2/2)(2)], if [M/2] of the relays are clustered with the source and [M] with the destination. This result utilizes the observation that if two wireless nodes are very close, Rayleigh assumption br...
Diversity-multiplexing tradeoff in multiple-antenna relay systems
Yüksel Turgut, Ayşe Melda; Erkip, Elza (2006-01-01)
We study the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) for the full-duplex relay channel when the source and the destination have multiple antennas, and the relay has I or more. We find DMT upper bounds and investigate the achievable performance of decode-and-forward (DF), partial decode-and-forward (PDF), and compress-and-forward (CF) protocols. We study the effect of increased degrees of freedom in the direct link and the source-relay channel when multiple antennas are introduced. Our results suggest that whi...
Distributed Connectivity Restoration in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks via Depth Adjustment
Uzun, Erkay; ŞENEL, FATİH; Akkaya, Kemal; Yazıcı, Adnan (2015-06-12)
In most applications of Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks, network connectivity is required for data exchange, data aggregation and relaying the data to a surface station. However, such connectivity can be lost due to failure of some sensor nodes which creates disruptions to the network operations. In this paper, we present two algorithms, namely BMR and DURA, which can detect network partitioning due to such node failures and re-establish network connectivity through controlled depth adjustment of nodes ...
Age-Optimal Channel Coding Blocklength for an M/G/1 Queue with HARQ
Sac, Hakan; Bacinoglu, Tan; Uysal, Elif; Durisi, Giuseppe (2018-08-24)
We consider a communication system in which a source transmits information updates to a destination node through a binary erasure channel (BEC). When a packet containing an information update, which consists of a fixed number of information bits, arrives at the transmitter, it gets queued in a buffer, to be encoded and sent over the channel. Before transmitting a packet, the transmitter selects a channel coding blocklength n and then uses an automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocol, whereby packets that are ...
DISTRIBUTED BEAMFORMING IN RELAY NETWORKS FOR ENERGY HARVESTING MULTI-GROUP MULTICAST SYSTEMS
Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2016-03-25)
In this paper, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is considered for multi-group multicasting relay networks where there is no direct link between the source and destination nodes. Each source transmits its own multicast stream to a group of users with the help of single antenna relays which use amplify-and-forward relay protocol. Each user has energy harvesting capability. A part of the received signal is used for information decoding while the rest is used for energy harvesting. T...
