In peer-to-peer networks, application relays have been commonly used to provide various networking services. The service performance often improves significantly if a relay is selected appropriately based on its network location. In this paper, we studied the location-aware relay discovery and selection problem for large-scale P2P streaming networks. In these large-scale and dynamic overlays, i...

In this paper, a cooperative protocol is proposed for wireless mesh networks. Two features are implemented: on-demand cooperation and selection of the best relay. First, cooperation is activated by a destination terminal when it fails in decoding the message from a source terminal. Second, a selection of the best relay is performed when cooperation is needed. The robustness of wireless links ar...

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is a promising new solution to provide a perpetual lifetime for energy constrained nodes in wireless networks. In this paper, we consider a wireless sensor relay network, where relay nodes forward a radio frequency (RF) signal from a source node to a destination node by first harvesting energy from the RF signal. For multiple relay no...

In this paper, we derive the exact symbol error probability (SEP) of cooperative systems using amplify and forward (AF) relaying and partial relay selectionwhen the different links are independent and non-identically distributed. In conventional relay selection, the selected relay offers the best instantaneous signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the relaying link (source-relay-destination). However,...

In this paper, we investigate the trust-degree-based secure relay selection in simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT)-enabled networks. particular, optimize interference by selecting appropriate time division ratio on condition of both transmission trust degree. First, applying security capacity constraint, derive expressions concerning Then, discuss different results for ...

Multi-hop relay channels use multiple relay stages, each with multiple relay nodes, to facilitate communication between a source and destination. Previously, distributed space-time coding was used to maximize diversity gain. Assuming a low-rate feedback link from the destination to each relay stage and the source, this paper proposes end-to-end antenna selection strategies as an alternative to ...

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 study deals with opportunistic relay selection in cooperative networks with secrecy constraints, where an eavesdropper node tries to overhead the source message. Previously reported relay selection techniques are optimised for non-eavesdropper environments and cannot ensure security. Two new opportunistic relay selection techniques, which incorporate the quality of the relay-eavesdropper l...
