On the Universality of Sequential Slotted Amplify and Forward Strategy in Cooperative Communications

چکیده
While cooperative communication has many benefits and is expected to play an important role in future wireless networks, many challenges are still unsolved. Previous research has developed different relaying strategies for cooperative multiple access channels (CMA), cooperative multiple relay channels (CMR) and cooperative broadcast channels (CBC). However, there lacks a unifying strategy that is universally optimal for these three classical channel models. Sequential slotted amplify and forward (SSAF) strategy was previously proposed to achieve the optimal diversity and multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) for CMR. In this paper, the use of SSAF strategy is extended to CBC and CMA, and its optimality for both of them is shown. For CBC, a CBC-SSAF strategy is proposed which can asymptotically achieve the DMT upper bound when the number of cooperative users is large. For CMA, a CMA-SSAF strategy is proposed which even can exactly achieve the DMT upper bound with any number of cooperative users. In this way, SSAF strategy is shown to be universally optimal for all these three classical channel models and has great potential to provide universal optimality for wireless cooperative networks. Index Terms Cooperative networks, transmission strategy, sequential slotted amplify and forward (SSAF), diversity and multiplexing tradeoff, relay.

Power Allocation In Cooperative Relay Channels
This paper concerns power allocation in relay-assisted wireless channels for two-hop transmission. First, the transmitter sends the information to both the relay and receiver parts. Next, in the second hop, the transmitter cooperates with the relay to increase the received signal to noise ratio (SNR), assuming the relay makes use of the Amplify and Forward (AF) strategy. Moreover, it is assumed...

This paper studies optimal power allocation to minimize symbol error rate (SER) of amplify-and-forward cooperative diversity networks. First, we analytically solve optimal power allocation problem to minimize SER for three different scenarios, namely, multi-branch single-relay, single-branch multi-relay and multi-branch multi-relay cooperative diversity networks, all subject to a given total re...

In this paper two different rateless transmissionschemes are developed. In the proposed scheme, relay node candecode and forward the message to the destination if they areable to decode it, or amplify and forward the message to thedestination. Based on the analysis and simulation resultsprovided in this paper, the proposed method has bettertransmission time than the scheme which only the relay ...

متن کاملSum-Rate Maximization Based on Power Constraints for Cooperative AF Relay Networks
In this paper, our objective is maximizing total sum-rate subject to power constraints on total relay transmit power or individual relay powers, for amplify-and-forward single-antenna relay-based wireless communication networks. We derive a closed-form solution for the total power constraint optimization problem and show that the individual relay power constraints optimization problem is a quad...
