Amplify-and-Forward Cooperative Diversity for Green UWB-Based WBSNs
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a novel green cooperative diversity technique based on suboptimal template-based ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs) using amplify-and-forward (AF) relays. In addition, it analyzes the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of the proposed nodes. The analysis is based on the moment-generating function (MGF) of the total signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the destination. It also provides an approximate value for the total SNR. The analysis studies the performance of equally correlated binary pulse position modulation (EC-BPPM) assuming the sinusoidal and square suboptimal template pulses. Numerical results are provided for the performance evaluation of optimal and suboptimal template-based nodes with and without relay cooperation. Results show that one relay node provides ~23 dB performance enhancement at 1e - 3 BER, which mitigates the effect of the nondesirable non-line-of-sight (NLOS) links in WBSNs.

Amplify and Forward Cooperative Diversity for Modified SV Model Based UWB Communication System
Cooperative diversity has emerged as a major technique of providing gains from spatial diversity to devices/terminals. While ultra-wideband (UWB) offers high information rates for wireless communication and sensor networks, the EIRP limits on UWB devices severely affects its coverage radius. In this paper, a low complexity cooperative diversity scheme for UWB channel is proposed. The scheme use...

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...
متن کاملDecode and Forward Cooperative Diversity for Modified SV Model Based UWB Communication System
Cooperative wireless networks have emerged as a major technology for future communication systems because cooperation in ad-hoc networks can save limited network resources. Cooperative techniques are the means to adopt the diversity, which is inherent in a wireless medium. While ultra-wideband (UWB) offers high information rates for wireless communication and sensor networks, the EIRP limits on...
متن کاملAMPLIFY and FORWARD COOPERATIVE DIVERSITY for SV MODEL BASED STANDARD UWB SYSTEM
Data rates and quality of service are limited by the fact that, for the duration of any given connection, they experience severe variation in signal strength. As reported any UWB system faces major challenges in achieving wide coverage without affecting the system performance. In this paper, a cooperative scheme in UWB is proposed so as to enhance the performance and coverage of UWB by using co...
متن کاملApproximately universal optimality over several dynamic and non-dynamic cooperative diversity schemes for wireless networks
In this work we explicitly provide the first ever optimal, with respect to the Zheng-Tse diversity multiplexing gain (D-MG) tradeoff, cooperative diversity schemes for wireless relay networks. The schemes are based on variants of perfect space-time codes and are optimal for any number of users and all statistically symmetric (and in some cases, asymmetric) fading distributions. We deduce that, ...
