This paper studies the power allocation problem for the non-orthogonal decode-and-forward (NDF) cooperation protocol with selection relaying. With the availability of the magnitudes of all channel gains at the source, the power allocation is explored that maximizes the mutual information between the source and destination subject to a total power constraint. The minimum power that avoids the outage of the relay is set as a condition, under which the power allocation problem becomes one of selecting the optimal one from several allocation factor triplets. It is shown that the power allocation scheme can provide considerable performance gain, and the non-orthogonal cooperation protocol is superior to the orthogonal protocol and direct transmission.
We investigate the multiple access channels (MAC) where sources can cooperate via half-duplex relaying and refer to it as cooperative MAC channels (CMAC). Assuming perfect channel state information (CSI) at the transmitters and the receivers, we determine the bounds on the achievable rate region of a Gaussian CMAC channel and an inner bound on the outage capacity region of a fading CMAC channel. Based on superposition modulation, a half-duplex cooperative relay scheme with optimal resource allocation is proposed to achieve the bounds of capacity region. Analytical results and simulation results show that the achievable rate region of a Gaussian CMAC channel is larger than that of a Gaussian MAC channel with direct transmission (DT) schemes. But they have the same achievable sum rate. Moreover, the proposed scheme can provide higher outage capacity region than DT schemes in a fading MAC channel due to the fact that sources can share the resources with each other to reduce outages.
A dual N-ary orthogonal hybrid modulation system is introduced in this paper,which can increasethe data rate greatly compared with conventional N-ary orthogonal spread spectrum system,so it can beused for high rate data communication.Then,three code recognition algorithms are presented for dual N-ary orthogonal hybrid modulation system and the analytic bit error rate(BER)performance of the systemin additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN)and flat Rayleigh fading channel is derived.Finally,the com-puter simulation of the system with three code recognition algorithms is performed,which shows that thesimplified maximum a posteriori(MAP)algorithm is the best for the system with a compromise betweenthe performance and the complexity.
This paper presents a semi-blind tracking algorithm used for Multiple Phase Shift Keying based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(MPSK-OFDM) system. By using special pream-bles to assist the decision of a feedback loop and to solve the problem of phase ambiguity,the tracking performance of the algorithm has been improved greatly. Only a few preambles are needed in the al-gorithm since the preambles are not used to estimate the frequency offset but used to provide the variation information of the phase due to the presence of frequency offset. Simulations verify that the algorithm has low SNR bound for tracking as well as high tracking accuracy and the tracking range is expanded to 30% of one subcarrier spacing.
Cognitive Radio(CR) is a promising technology to solve the challenging spectrum scarcity problem.However, to implement CR, spectrum sensing is the groundwork and the precondition.In this paper, a collaborative spectrum sensing scheme using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is proposed.The final sensing decision of the proposed scheme is based on the combination of distributed sensing results of different Secondary Users(SUs).To improve the reliability of the sensing decision, the combination procedure takes into account the credibility of each SU, which is evaluated using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation.The effect of the presence of malicious SUs and malfunctioning SUs on the performance of the proposed scheme is also investigated.The efficiency of the scheme is validated through analysis and simulation.
The problem of medium access control(MAC) in wireless single-input multiple-output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(SIMO-OFDM) systems is addressed. Traditional random access protocols have low overheads and inferior performance. Centralized methods have superior performance and high overheads. To achieve the tradeoff between overhead and performance,we propose a channelaware uplink transmission(CaUT) scheme for SIMO-OFDM systems. In CaUT,users transmit requestto-send(RTS) at some subcarriers whose channel gains are above a predetermined threshold. Using the channel state information provided by RTS,access point performs user selection with receive beamforming to decide which users can access and then broadcasts the selection results via clear-to-send(CTS) to users. We present a distributed power control scheme by using a simple fixed modulation mode. We optimize the modulation order and channel gain thresholds to maximize the separable packets subject to the bit-error-rate(BER) and temporal fairness requirements and the individual average transmit power constraints. The performance of CaUT scheme is analyzed analytically and evaluated by simulations. Simulation results show that CaUT can achieve more significant throughput performance than traditional random access protocols.
