In this treatise a two-way Amplify and Forward (AF) relay-aided system is considered, which employs the so-called Arithmetic Sum of Average Bit Error Rate (ASABER) based MIMO precoding technique. The two-way AF relay system is comprised of the pair of transceiver nodes S1 and S2, and the Relay Node (RN) R, where each node is equipped with N1, N2 and Nr antennas, respectively. We study the effec...

A full-duplex two-way relay channel with multiple antennas is considered. For this three-node network, the beamforming design needs to suppress self-interference. While a traditional way is to apply zero-forcing for self-interference mitigation, it may harm the desired signals. In this paper, a design which reserves a fraction of self-interference is proposed by solving a quality-of-service con...

Existing work on placing additional relay nodes in wireless sensor networks to improve network connectivity typically assumes homogeneous wireless sensor nodes with an identical transmission radius. In compare, this paper addresses the problem of deploying relay nodes to provide fault tolerance with higher network connectivity in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks, where sensor nodes have d...

Energy harvesting (EH) and network coding (NC) have emerged as two promising technologies for future wireless networks. In this paper, we combine them together in a single system and then present a time switching-based network coding relaying (TSNCR) protocol for the two-way relay system, where an energy constrained relay harvests energy from the transmitted radio frequency (RF) signals from tw...

In this paper, an interval approach is presented to achieve perfect selectivity and maximum sensitivity in distance relay zones, considering uncertainties. For this purpose, first, the uncertainties affecting the settings of the three zones of a distance relay are discussed. Then, by using the Monte-Carlo simulation, the uncertainties are modelled and the impedances seen by the distance relay a...

A two-way relay network provide improved spectral efficiency compared with a conventional one-way relay network by using either superposition coding or network coding. OFDMA network provides imptoved performance by adaptive resource allocation. In this paper, we propose a adaptive subcarrier allocation for a multiuser two-way OFDMA relay network. In the proposed algorithm, subcarriers are alloc...

In wireless networks, it has always been a challenge to satisfy high traffic throughput demands, due to limited spectrum resources. In past decades, various techniques, including cooperative communications, have been developed to achieve higher communication rates. This thesis addresses the challenges imposed by cooperative wireless networks, in particular focusing on practical code constructio...

In this paper, we adopt the relay selection (RS) protocol proposed by Bletsas, Khisti, Reed and Lippman (2006) with Enhanced Dynamic Decode-and-Forward (EDDF) and network coding (NC) system in a two-hop two-way multi-relay network. All nodes are single-input single-output (SISO) and half-duplex, i.e., they cannot transmit and receive data simultaneously. The outage probability is analyzed and w...

—Two-way amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying networks have been widely studied because of its simplicity and high spectral efficiency. In this paper, we investigate the relay selection problem and the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff (DMT) for two-way AF relaying systems over independent flat Rayleigh fading channels. We first derive the closed-form expression of the minimum total transmit power ...

This paper considers a fully-connected interference network with a relay in which multiple users equipped with a single antenna want to exchange multiple unicast messages with other users in the network by sharing the relay equipped with multiple antennas. For such a network, the degrees of freedom (DoF) are derived by considering various message exchange scenarios: a multi-user fullyconnected ...
