User Cooperation versus Multiple-Access-Channel with Dedicated-Relay using Network Coding
نویسندگان
چکیده
User cooperation is a communication strategy where transmitting users share their resources to help each others’ transmission for reliable delivery of their message at destination. Multiple-access-channel with Dedicated-relay (MAC-DR) is a MAC channel, where there are more than one transmitters, single receiver, and a fixed or dedicated node which act as a relay for transmitting users. In this paper, we investigate network coded user cooperation and MAC-DR, using network coding. With extensive simulations, we show that our proposed block-Markov impressed network coded user cooperation strategy outperforms MAC-DR using network coding. They both show symmetrical performance only if the inter-user and user-relay distances are held constant.

Bounds for Multiple-Access Relay Channels with Feedback via Two-way Relay Channel
In this study, we introduce a new two-way relay channel and obtain an inner bound and an outer bound for the discrete and memoryless multiple access relay channels with receiver-source feedback via two-way relay channel in which end nodes exchange signals by a relay node. And we extend these results to the Gaussian case. By numerical computing, we show that our inner bound is the same with o...
متن کاملExtension of the Coverage Region of Multiple Access Channels by Using a Relay
From practical and theoretical viewpoints, performance analysis of communication systems by using information-theoretic results is important. In this paper, based on our previous work on Multiple Access Channel (MAC) and Multiple Access Relay Channel (MARC), we analyze the impact of a relay on the fundamental wireless communications concept, i.e., coverage region of MARC, as a basic model for u...
متن کاملNetwork Coding for Cooperative Communications
In this paper, we propose network coding, as an efficient and low cost option for the implementation of blockMarkov coding for cooperative communications. Cooperative communications is a strategy where users, besides transmitting their own encoded information, also relay re-encoded versions of other users’ information to a common destination. Our work is motivated by the recent information-theo...
متن کاملLow Complexity Separate Network and Channel Coding Algorithm for Multiple Access Relay Channel
The employment of the network coding (NC) combined with distributed FEC, in cooperative transmission schemes leads to a more efficient use of the additional time-frequency resources required by cooperation, i.e. by allowing a single relay node to serve two or more user terminals (Multiple Access Relay Channel). This paper proposes a low complexity cooperation algorithm which employs network and...
متن کاملOn Stability and Throughput for Multiple Access with Cooperation
In the wireless two-user multiple-access system with a single destination, the characterization of the stability region and the throughput region is revisited in the context of a packet-based “networklevel” cooperation among the two users. Cooperation is achieved through the relaying of packets by the user with a better user-destination channel. Through queueing-theoretic techniques, the stabil...
