为了最大化协作多中继通信系统的网络寿命,研究了在放大-转发(amplification-forward,AF)中继协作方式下网络寿命的折中优化问题,提出了一种最优能量均衡(optimal energy equilibrium,OEE)的中继协作节点选择方案。通过对AF中继每一跳接收端信噪比(signal noise rate,SNR)的计算,推导了AF两跳中继目的终端的误码率表达式,同时联合节点的剩余能量信息和信道状态信息(channel state information,CSI),利用能量均衡的思想,合理引入和设置优化因子来有效选择转发中继,延长网络寿命。理论分析和仿真结果表明,相比CSI中继选择和模糊综合评价(fuzzy comprehensive evaluation,FCE)中继选择方案,提出的中继选择方案不仅有效地提高了系统的网络寿命,而且在相同信噪比的情况下误码率性能有明显的改善。
In this paper, we have proposed a multi-relay selection and power allocation scheme for two-way relay network which aims to maximize the sum-rate of two-way relay system. First, to prolong network lifetime, a multi-relay selection strategy is proposed in which both channel state information （CSI） and remaining energy （RE） are considered. Next, a multi-relay power allocation algorithm based on convex optimization （MRPA-CO） is presented. To reduce the computational complexity, it can be divided into two steps： terminal nodes power allocation （TNPA） and relay nodes power allocation （RNPA）. Simulation results indicate that the proposed relay selection strategy can significantly prolong network lifetime compared to other relay selection strategies which consider CSI only, and the MRPA-CO algorithm has great advantage over equal power allocation （EPA） on sum-rate in two-way relay network.
