This paper develops the first prototype hardware for TDD two-way multi-hop relay network with MIMO network coding. Since conventional wireless multi-hop relay networks have a drawback of low data rate, TDD two-way multi-hop relay networks have been studied as a solution to realize high data rate recently. In the networks, forward and backward streams are spatially multiplexed by using interfere...

Cognitive radio plays a vital role in wireless communication. The cognitive radio composed of a transceiver which is used to check the channel vacancy for communication and avoids busy channels by shifting into unused channel. The scope for spectrum vacancy and area of coverage is increased by using cognitive radio. In cooperative relay network to transmit the primary traffic the primary users ...

In this letter, we propose an efficient relay antenna selection algorithm for the amplify and forward (AF) two-way multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) relay systems with analogue network coding (ANC). The proposed algorithm greedily selects the additional receivetransmit antenna pair that provides the maximum sum-rate. An iterative computation method is also designed to evaluate the sum-rate e...

Cooperative networking is known to have significant potential in increasing network capacity and transmission reliability. Although there have been extensive studies on applying cooperative networking in multi-hop ad hoc networks, most works on cooperative network optimization are limited to the basic three-node relay scheme and single-antenna systems. These two limitations are interconnected a...

This paper investigates the degrees of freedom of the interference channel in the presence of a dedicated MIMO relay. The relay is used to manage the interference at the receivers. It is assumed that all nodes including the relay have channel state information only for their own links and that the relay has M ≥ K antennas in a K-user network. We pose the question: What is the benefit of exploit...

In order to improve the quality of video transmission over wireless relay system, some of the studies using Network Coding (NC) and Forward Error Correction (FEC) have been studied. In this paper, layered video streaming using scalable video coding (SVC) based on prioritized network coding is investigated. We propose a novel network coding scheme (prioritizedNC) in order to improve the quality ...

Cooperative MIMO network, which consists of multiple relay nodes equipped with a single antenna, is introduced in this paper. Virtual MIMO is examined with multi-relay cooperative communication. Performances of Distributed Space-Time Block Code (DSTBC) in cooperative MIMO are analyzed and compared with general cooperative diversity protocols. Diversity multiplexing tradeoff (DMT), outage probab...

While a network with stationary nodes can provide large capacity in many current wireless systems, a network with mobile users suffers from severe performance degradation. This happens due to quick channel variation and its resulting protocol overheads that are especially large for multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. In this paper, we propose a relay-assisted multiuser MIMO...

Problem Statement: In MIMO system, capacity mainly depends on the channel and the antenna characteristics. The capacity can be improved by proper design of antenna elements and choosing appropriate array configuration and the directive elements give more capacity than omni directional elements. The dual polarized antennas are better than single polarized antennas as the former can provide two i...
