This paper focuses on Byzantine attack detection for Gaussian two-way relay network. In this network, two source nodes communicate with each other with the help of an amplify-and-forward relay which may perform Byzantine attacks by forwarding altered symbols to the sources. For simple investigating the detectability of attacks conducted in Gaussian channels, we focus on the MA channel of the ne...

Using relays to receive and forward packets between a network base station and network users is a promising solution to address the cellular coverage issue. In this paper, we consider time division duplexing (TDD) networks and explore the use of network coding for implementing the relays. Several transmission scenarios are investigated, including direction transmissions, one-way relay and two-w...

In amplify-and-forward (AF) two-way relay networks, information is exchanged between two source nodes via a relay node by AF relaying. This dissertation develops the blind detection designs for various two-way relay systems such as one antenna AF two-way relay network with direct link, one antenna AF two-way relay network without direct link, and multiple antenna AF two-way relay network withou...

The unavoidable parametrization of the wireless link represents a major problem of the network-coded modulation synthesis in a 2-way relay channel. Composite (hierarchical) codeword received at the relay is generally parametrized by the channel gain, forcing any processing on the relay to be dependent on channel parameters. In this paper, we introduce the codebook design criteria, which ensure ...

We consider the application of wireless network coding to a “butterfly” wireless network, comprising two sources and two destinations sharing a single relay. We obtain upper bounds on the end to end capacity of the network in terms of the codebook cardinalities, allowing the use of an extended rather than a minimal hierarchical mapping at the relay and assuming that partial complementary side i...

Physical layer network-coding for the n-way wireless relaying scenario is dealt with, where each of the n user nodes X1, X2, ..., Xn wishes to communicate its messages to all the other (n−1) nodes with the help of the relay node R. The given scheme, based on the denoise-and-forward scheme proposed for two-way relaying by Popovski et al. in [1], employs two phases: Multiple Access (MA) phase and...

This paper presents a method to improve the spectral utilization in Multi-hop Relay (MMR) networks. Co-channel interference is considered as a parameter to analyze the performance of MMR (IEEE 802.16j) based relay networks. Frequency reuse technique is a way to improve the spectral utilization. Since the same frequency band is used by Relay stations and Base Station, co-channel interference wit...

Considering a symmetric Gaussian multi-way relay channel (MWRC) with K users, this work compares two transmission strategies, namely one-way relaying (OWR) and multi-way relaying (MWR), in terms of their achievable rates. While in OWR, only one user acts as data source at each time and transmits in the uplink channel access, users can make simultaneous transmissions in MWR. First, we prove that...

Cooperative communication is used as an effective measure against fading in wireless communication systems. In a classical one-way cooperative system, the relay needs as many orthogonal channels as the number of terminal it assists, yielding a poor spectral efficiency. Efficiency is improved in two-way relaying systems, where a relay simultaneously assists two terminals using only one timeslot....
