- Relays can improve wireless links by providing an extra path to the direct path which together form a virtual multiple antenna system. Network Coded-Distributive Antenna System (NC-DAS) and Plain-Distributive Antenna System (P-DAS) are examples of realizations of such scenario. Although the asymptotic diversity gain for both the schemes is comparable, the network coded scheme can further take advantage of the redundancy and the extra dimension provided by the relay link. This extra signal dimension can be very useful when multilevel modulation is employed as it gives the possibility for a better spread of the modulation signal points within the augmented signal space. This article presents a simple and effective Constellation Selection (CS) scheme for all the three links within the NC-DAS system. This selection procedure improves the bit error probability in both AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. Two different detections schemes are considered in the paper. Joint detection where the both users are decoded simultaneously and detection with successive cancelation where the strongest user is detected first followed by cancelation and maximum ratio combining. Analytical expressions for the error probability supported by simulation results are presented. The obtained results show that constellation selection provides good performance gain as compared to the case of same constellation.

- The rising demand for the high data rates in the future cellular systems, is directly linked with the power consumption at the transmitting nodes. Due to the various economical and environmental factors, it is becoming difficult to maintain the current rate of power consumption per unit of data, for the upcoming generations of the cellular systems. This has shifted the focus of many researchers towards the energy efficiency aspect of the cellular systems and power consumption has become an important design parameter in the recent works. In this article, we propose the use of cooperative communications using low cost fixed relays, in order to reduce the energy consumption at the transmitting nodes for a given quality of service requirement. It has been investigated that, how different factors, such as cell radius, relay position, number of relays and target data rate effects the area energy consumption for the different relaying schemes. It has been shown that, the cooperative relaying schemes along with adaptive resource allocation provides minimum energy consumption along with the better coverage as compared to the non adaptive cooperative relaying schemes.

Link Reliability in Cooperative Relaying Using Network Coding

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Demand for high data rates is increasing rapidly for future wireless systems.This trend is due to the increase in the number of mobile subscribers that need bandwidth hungry multimedia applications anywhere, anytime. Fourth generation cellular systems like IMT-advanced are being developed to meet these requirements. The unreliable nature of the wireless medium is one of the main hinderance in providing high data rates. Cooperative communication in cellular networks is emerging as a new paradigm to deal with the channel impairments. User cooperation via fixed relays in cellular systems form multiple access relay channels (MARCs) and provide an effective and cost efficient solution to achieve spatial diversity gains. Network resources can be utilized efficiently by using network coding at cooperating nodes. A lot of research work has focused on highlighting the gains achieved by using network coding in MARCs. However, there are certain areas that are not fully explored yet. For instance, the kind of the detection scheme used at the base station receiver and its impact on the link performance has not been addressed. In most cases, the outage probability has been used as a performance measure of MARCs. However, it is well known that the outage probability gives information about the signal availability, but it does not give the complete picture about the reliability of the link and the achieved quality of service. This thesis work looks at the link performance, in terms of symbol error probability, of multiple access relay channels that employ network coding at the relay node. Different types of detection schemes are considered and their performance is compared under different link conditions. Analytical expressions for the average symbol error probability of the cooperating users are derived. Focusing on the uplink of cellular systems, certain rules are devised on how to group users at relay node to ensure mutual benefit for the cooperating users. As a way of improving the link performance of multiple access relay channels and their robustness, the thesis considers constellation selection for the different branches. This method takes advantage of the redundancy between the transmitted symbols created by network coding and the augmented signal space obtained at the base station receiver. The obtained results show that, with a proper selection of the constellation sets, the link performance of MARCs can be improved. The thesis further looks at the interaction between the channel coding schemes of the cooperating users and network coding. It is shown that joint channel-network coding in MARCs can be seen as a product code. This new representation provides considerable flexibility in selecting efficient decoding algorithms at the base station receiver and gives the possibility to use more powerful network coding schemes for MARCs.

- Employing network coding at the relay in cooperative relay system can improve the system throughput. However, XOR based network coding does not provide a strong error correction capability that can be used at the base station (receiver) in decoding the information of the cooperating users. Instead a block code can be used to combine the received user packets at the relay station where only the extra redundancy of the block code are forwarded by the relay station. With this structure a better error correction capability is embedded to the network coding scheme providing a better help to the receiver when decoding the user information. Combining this network coding structure with the individual block codes of the users, an overall product code can be obtained which gives the possibility of generating more powerful overall codes and increases the correction capability of the decoding process at the receiver. The obtained results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional XOR based network coding scheme and gives the possibility of combining more users in the cooperation process.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The effects of channel estimation errors on the channel capacity of a discrete time, discrete input, infinite output Rayleigh fading channel are investigated. The case of conventional modulation methods such as phase shift keying (PSK) and quatrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is investigated at first where it was observed that the capacity degrades rapidly with increasing channel estimation errors. The effect of error in the channel estimation is similar to the effect of higher noise in the channel that depends on the transmitted signal. A genetic algorithm is used to optimise the signal constellation in order to maximise the capacity for a given finite number of signal points. The aim of trying to maximise the capacity is to estimate the remaining gap in performance between a traditional modulation scheme such as QAM and the best possible constellation that is optimised for the channel. The constellations obtained from the genetic algorithm are, in general, not directly implementable. A method to design practical robust signal constellations that overcome the effect of channel state information (CSI) error is presented. The robust signal constellations obtained show a performance that is very close to the optimal constellations. In this work, the probability distribution of the error in CSI is assumed to be known.

- Multiple constellations has been proposed recently as a way of improving the system performance when used in conjunction with Orthogonal Transmit Diversity (OTD) for high level linear modulation schemes. This paper considers the use of multiple constellations in Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna systems. The premise is that the same modulation scheme is used with different bits to symbols mapping for each branch. This improved beamforming results in better performance as compared to MIMO-MRC where the same bits to symbols mapping is used on all branches. Analytical expression for Symbol Error Probability (SEP) is derived. The results obtained show that the new proposed improved beamforming scheme outperforms conventional MIMO-MRC with a performance dividend that increases with the linear modulation level.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents a data traffic model capable of describing the long-range dependence and self-similar burstiness structure found in measurement studies of packet data traffic. The model introduced is based on doubly stochastic Poisson processes. The intensity of arrivals is modeled as a continuous stochastic process. This process satisfies most of the properties found in the measurement studies, namely long-range dependence and self-similarity. The generality and simplicity of this model makes it attractive in data traffic modeling

A low complexity antenna diversity receiver for OFDM based systems
- 2001
-
Ingår i: IEEE International Conference on Communications. ; , s. 1147-1151

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A low complexity antenna diversity architecture with a new combining technique suitable for orthogonal frequency division (OFDM) based systems is introduced in this paper. For a two branch antenna diversity, this structure requires only one FFT at the receiver and allows optimum maximum ratio combining. For systems with a higher number of antennas, the number of required FFTs when using such technique is reduced by half as compared to the conventional case where a different FFT is used for each receive antenna. As a result a considerable reduction in processing complexity is obtained especially for systems with high number of subcarriers. This method can also be seen as a way of increasing the number of antennas in OFDM transceivers without any major complexity increase. Thus, a considerable increase in diversity gain can be achieved

- This paper examines the possibility of reducing error propagation in the successive interference cancellation multiuser detector (SIC-MUD) for a narrowband system. A simple sequence estimation algorithm is employed, working on a symbol by symbol user basis, not affecting the operation of FEC decoding if present. Operating along the stages of the SIC-MUD scheme, this algorithm has a complexity that increases only linearly with the number of users and thus can be used for a larger number of users, as against the optimum joint detection-MUD (JD-MUD), whose complexity increases exponentially with the number of users. Investigation is carried out for both AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. The obtained results show that the Improved SIC-MUD scheme reduces the error propagation considerably and, with its low complexity, can be a good alternative for the JD-MUD scheme.
