This paper investigates rate adaptation schemes for decoding-and-forward (DF) relay system based on random projections codes (RPC). We consider a classic three node relay system model, where relay node performs on half-duplex mode. Then, we give out receiving diversity relay scheme and coding diversity relay scheme, and present their jointly decoding methods. Furthermore, we discuss the perform...

Relay based cooperative spectrum sensing elevates the spectrum sensing problems in harsh propagation conditions if the relay nodes are positioned suitably for the dynamic spectrum access systems. This article investigates the performance of relay based spectrum sensing (energy detection based) in myriad fading environments using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) p...

Options to tackle the sustainability challenges faced in the production of rice, including global and local environmental perspectives, need to be discussed. Here, the global warming potential, water consumption and cumulative energy demand were analyzed using a life-cycle assessment to highlight the sustainability aspects of rice production in Taiwan, where a mixed organic and conventional ric...

Emerald, north-east Queensland, is at the northern margin of the wheat cropping region of Australia. The Emerald region was previously used predominantly for grazing beef cattle; however, cropping has developed in importance over the past 30 years. We use historical climate records (1890-1998) to simulate and compare wheat yields, grass production and live-weight gain (LWG) over time. The cropp...

In this paper, we consider two-way orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) relay channels, where the direct link between the two terminal nodes is too weak to be used for data transmission. The widely known per-subcarrier decode-and-forward (DF) relay strategy, treats each subcarrier as a separate channel, and performs independent channel coding over each subcarrier. We show that this...

This paper presents a new cooperative ARQ protocol for a hybrid mobile wireless sensor network. The mobile relay nodes decode the signal from the source sensor using cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and forward it to the destination sink. A distributed relay selection that exploits overhearing of inter-relay node transmission is employed to achieve higher selection diversity gain during retransmis...

© 2010 ETRI Journal, Volume 32, Number 2, April 2010 The IEEE802.16j standard uses non-transparent relay stations to extend coverage. There are two types of nontransparent relay modes, that is, the time-division transmit and receive (TTR) relay mode which can operate with one of two types of frame structures, a single-frame and multiframe structure, and the simultaneous transmit and receive (ST...

This study was conducted to know cropping cycles required to improve OM status in soil and to investigate the effects of medium-term tillage practices on soil properties and crop yields in Grey Terrace soil of Bangladesh under wheat-mungbean-T. aman cropping system. Four different tillage practices, namely, zero tillage (ZT), minimum tillage (MT), conventional tillage (CT), and deep tillage (DT...
