Network deployment problem is one of the major issues when base stations and relay stations are jointly deployed. Deploying relay station at suitable position covers throughput enhancement and coverage extension problem in IEEE 802.16j MMR networks. In this paper we have proposed a new adaptive model for throughput enhancement and optimal relay selection in IEEE 802.16j MMR networks and studied...

Multi-user and multi-business lead to dense deployment relay stations in the relay-assisted cellular system. When active relay stations exceed actual needs, decreasing the network energy efficiency has direct correlation with web users, business, distribution and other parameters. In the case that satisfying requirements of service quality, such as delay and rate are satisfied, this paper mainl...

The authors investigate the effect of feedback delay on the average capacity of a decode-and-forward cooperative network with relay selection. In particular, a multi-relay cooperative scenario is considered, where the best relay is selected from a subset of relays that are able to decode the source information correctly. In this selection scenario, the authors assume that the destination termin...

Relay networks enhance the system performance by creating cooperative diversity gain and extend communication range by relaying the received signal to other devices. In this paper, the performance of two-relay networks is analyzed by adopting decode-andforward (DF) relaying protocol. The signaling scheme uses partially differential modulation which applies coherent modulation in source-relays l...

Multi-hop relay network systems allow users to communicate with a base station via a relay station, such as WiMAX 802.16j and Long Term Evolution (LTE)-Advanced. The overall coverage for the systems can be increased apparently and the throughput for the users will be enhanced by deploying suitable relay stations in such network systems. Considering a trade-off among the network throughput, the ...

This paper presents an outage performance of multiple access relay channel (MARC) for decode-and-forward (DF) relay and amplify-and-forward (AF) relay selection. We consider the multiple-access relay channel with two source nodes, one relay node and one destination node. In MARC, multiple sources transmit to a common destination simultaneously with the assistance of a single relay. In a relayin...

This paper investigates the Diversity Multiplexing Tradeoff (DMT) of the generalized quantizeand-forward (GQF) relaying scheme over the slow fading half-duplex multiple-access relay channel (HD-MARC). The compress-and-forward (CF) scheme has been shown to achieve the optimal DMT when the channel state information (CSI) of the relay-destination link is available at the relay. However, having the...

In this paper, we analyze the best relay selection scheme for the soft-decision-and-forward (SDF) cooperative networks with multiple relays. The term ‘best relay selection’ implies that the relay having the largest end-to-end signal-to-noise ratio is selected to transmit in the second phase transmission. The approximate performances in terms of pairwise error probability (PEP) and bit error rat...
