In cooperative relay networks, Channel State Information (CSI) is estimated at receiver. The estimated CSI is sent back to the relays through feedback link. This estimated CSI is often outdated due to feedback delay and the estimated outdated CSI is used for relay selection and detection which affects the performance of the system. The outage and error rate performance of the relay selection sc...

Double Nakagami-m fading model can be used to provide a realistic description of the mobile-to-mobile (M2M) channel. The moment generating function (MGF)-based approach is used to derive the symbol error probability (SEP) expressions for the multiple-mobile-relay-based M2M system. Under the consideration of better performance and lower complexity, both decode-and-forward (DF) and amplify-and-fo...

The transmission of signals in a hybrid satellite-terrestrial system (HSTS) in the presence of co-channel interference (CCI) is considered in this study. Specifically, we examine the problem of amplify-and-forward (AF)-based relaying in a hybrid satellite-terrestrial link, where the relay node is operating in the presence of a dominant co-channel interferer. It is assumed that direct connection...

Problem Statement: In MIMO system, capacity mainly depends on the channel and the antenna characteristics. The capacity can be improved by proper design of antenna elements and choosing appropriate array configuration and the directive elements give more capacity than omni directional elements. The dual polarized antennas are better than single polarized antennas as the former can provide two i...

The performance of two-way amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative relay networks over independent but not necessarily identically distributed Weibull fading channels is studied. Tight closed form approximations for the overall outage probability (OOP) and the average symbol error probability (ASEP) are derived. The analysis is verified by simulation, and the accuracy is shown to be excellent, esp...

Cooperative communication is regarded as a key technology in wireless networks, including cognitive radio networks (CRNs), which increases the diversity order of the signal to combat the unfavorable effects of the fading channels, by allowing distributed terminals to collaborate through sophisticated signal processing. Underlay CRNs have strict interference constraints towards the secondary use...

This paper focuses on the capacity of point-to-point relay communications wherein the transmitter is assisted by an intermediate relay. We detail the mathematical model of cutset and amplify and forward (AF) relaying strategy. We present the upper bound capacity of each relaying strategy from information theory viewpoint and also in networks with Gaussian channels. We exemplify various outer re...

In this paper, we propose a simple relaying protocol, namely clip-amplify-forward (CAF), for dual-hop transmissions. In the CAF relaying protocol, the received signal at the relay node is clipped firstly and then amplified with a fixed amplification gain before retransmission. Only a hard clipper and a linear amplifier are needed at the relay node, where no channel estimation is needed. Simulat...

Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the outage probability of the system where a cluster of amplifyand-forward (AF) relays are employed to assist the reception at the destination terminal. In particular, our model assumes that the channels between the source and the relay terminals and that between the source and destination terminals have the same statistics, and the relay nodes only have the ...
