We present a study on the end-to-end performance of a cooperative diversity system over random fading channels at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The performance criteria we consider are the average symbol error probability (SEP) and outage probability. At high SNR, both average SEP and outage probability can be characterized by two parameters: the diversity and coding gains. We provide analy...

In this paper, optimal content caching strategy is proposed to jointly minimize the cell average outage probability and fronthaul usage in cloud radio access network (Cloud-RAN). At first, an accurate closed form expression of the outage probability conditioned on the user’s location is presented, and the cell average outage probability is obtained through the composite Simpson’s integration. T...

We study optimal constant-rate coding schemes for a block-fading channel with strict transmission delay constraint, under the assumption that both the transmitter and the receiver have perfect channel-state information. We show that the information outage probability is minimized by concatenating a standard “Gaussian” code with an optimal power controller, which allocates the transmitted power ...

In this paper, we propose a cooperative hybrid spectrum sharing protocol by jointly considering interweave (opportunistic) and underlay schemes. In the proposed protocol, secondary users can access the licensed spectrum along with the primary system. Our network scenario comprises a single primary transmitter-receiver (PTx-PRx) pair and a group of M secondary transmitter-receiver (STx-SRx) pair...

The outage behaviour of the single cell DSCDMA uplink is investigated for flat Rayleigh fading channels. Goal of the work is to find an analytical way for the optimisation of the system spectral efficiency under some outage probability constraint by adjusting parameters such as modulation, spreading factor, code rate and number of codes per user. Therefore, the results of the asymptotic analysi...

Recently, energy harvesting (EH) has emerged as a promising way to realize green communications. In this paper, we investigate the multiuser transmission network with an EH cooperative relay, where a source transmits independent information to multiple destinations with the help of an energy constrained relay. The relay can harvest energy from the radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted from t...

Two unified expressions for computing the refined outage criterion (which considers the receiver noise) in cellular mobile radio systems are derived using the Laplace and Fourier inversion formulas. Since these expressions do not impose any restrictions on the signal statistics while being easy to program, they provide a powerful tool for outage analysis over generalized fading channels. We als...

We consider the lossy transmission of source information over Rayleigh fading channels. We investigate the usefulness of various channel capacity definitions, namely ergodic capacity, where it is assumed that the channel transitions over all the fading states, and outage capacity, where the source is transmitted at a constant rate with a specified outage probability. We also study the outage ra...

The outage probability of dual-hop links with partial relay selection over Rayleigh fading channel in the presence of interferences is analysed. The outage expressions for amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) relaying with relay selection, based on the instantaneous signal-to-interference ratio (SIR), are derived. Numerical results for both types of relays are presented and comp...
