- Previous works on cognitive relay networks (CRNs) considered only symmetric fading channels. However, in practical wireless propagation scenarios, it is likely that the channels of the secondary user (SU) and primary user (PU) may undergo different fading characteristics. In this paper, we assume that the channels of the secondary network (SU-source -> SU-relay -> SU-destination) are subject to Rician fading, whereas the channels of the link from the SU to the PU experience Rayleigh fading. Based on this framework, the end-to-end outage probability (OP) of CRNs is investigated for two different relaying schemes: i) in the absence of the direct link with decode-and-forward (DF) protocol and ii) in the presence of the direct link with incremental DF protocol. In particular, we derive both exact and asymptotic OP expressions for the considered CRNs. Our analysis reveals important insights into the impact of fading parameters on the CRN performance under distinct fading distributions.

- Two new rearranged 2,3-seco-tirucallane triterpenoids, meliadubins A (1) and B (2), along with four known compounds, 3-6, were isolated from the barks of Melia dubia Cav. Compound 2 exhibited a significant inflammatory inhibition effect toward superoxide anion generation in human neutrophils (EC50 at 5.54 +/- 0.36 mu M). It bound to active sites of a human inducible nitric oxide synthase (3E7G) through interactions with the residues of GLU377 and PRO350, which may benefit in reducing the neutrophilic inflammation effect. The ChemGPS-NP interpretation combined with bioactivity assay and in silico prediction results suggested 2 to be an agent for targeting iNOS with different mechanisms as compared to a selected set of current approved drugs. Moreover, compounds 1 and 2 showed remarkable inhibition against the rice pathogenic fungus Magnaporthe oryzae in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 values of 137.20 +/- 9.55 and 182.50 +/- 18.27 mu M, respectively. Both 1 and 2 displayed interactions with the residue of TYR223, a key active site of trihydroxynaphthalene reductase (1YBV). The interpretation of 1 and 2 in the ChemGPS-NP physical-chemical property space indicated that both compounds are quite different compared to all members of a selected set of reference compounds. In light of demonstrated biological activity and in silico prediction experiments, both compounds possibly exhibited activity against phytopathogenic fungi via a novel mode of action.

Distributed Space-Time Block Codes with Amicable Orthogonal Designs
- 2008
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we generalize the construction of distributed space–time block codes (DSTBCs) using amicable orthogonal designs which are originally applied to co-located multiple-antenna systems. We also derive the closed-form expression of average symbol error probability (SEP). The result is obtained in the form of single finite-range integral whose integrand contains only the trigonometric functions. Using the asymptotic (high signal-to-noise ratio) SEP formulas we show that the orthogonal DSTBCs achieve full diversity order. We also perform Monte-Carlo simulation to validate the analysis.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Most of the research in spectrum sharing has neglected the effect of interference from primary users. In this reported work, the performance of spectrum sharing amplify-and-forward relay networks under interference-limited environment, where the interference induced by the transmission of primary networks is taken into account, is investigated. In particular, a closed-form expression tight lower bound of outage probability is derived. To reveal additional insights into the effect of primary networks on the diversity and array gains, an asymptotic expression is also obtained.

Ergodic Capacity of Cooperative Networks Using Adaptive Transmission and Selection Combining
- 2009
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Closed-form expressions for channel capacity of repetition-based cooperative networks under adaptive transmission with selection combining are presented under the assumption of independent Rayleigh fading. Specifically, three different adaptive techniques are investigated: optimal simultaneous power and rate adaptation (OPRA), constant power with optimal rate adaptation (OPA) and channel inversion with fixed rate (TIFR). Among them, for an arbitrary number of relays, TIFR gives the worst channel capacity; OPRA gives the best channel capacity and ORA has a channel capacity quality in between the others. The analysis results, based on the upper and lower bound of the end-to-end SNR, agree very well with the simulated results and definitely show the impact of selection combining on the calculated channel capacity per unit bandwidth

- Taking into account the relay’s location, we analyze the maximum likelihood (ML) decoding performance ofdualhop relay network, in which two amplify-and-forward (AF) relays employ the Alamouti code in a distributed fashion. In particular, using the well-known moment generating function (MGF) approach we derive the closed-form expressions of the average symbol error probability (SEP) for M-ary phase-shift keying (M-PSK) when the relays are located nearby either the source or destination. The analytical result is obtained as a single integral with finite limits and the integrand composed solely of trigonometric functions. Assessing the asymptotic characteristic of SEP formulas in the high signal-to-noise ratio regime, we show that the distributed-Alamouti protocol achieves a full diversity order. We also perform the Monte-Carlo simulations to validate our analysis. In addition, based on the upper bound of SEP we propose an optimal power allocation between the first-hop (the source-to-relay link) and second-hop (the relay-to-destination link) transmission. We further show that as the two relays are located nearby the destination most of the total power should be allocated to the broadcasting phase (the first-hop transmission). When the two relays are placed close to the source, we propose an optimal transmission scheme which is a non-realtime processing, hence, can be applied for practical applications. It is shown that the optimal power allocation scheme outperforms the equal power scheme with a SEP performance improvement by 2-3 dB.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we analyze the performance of cooperative spectrum sharing single-carrier (SC) relay systems. Taking into account the peak interference power at the primary user (PU) and the maximum transmit power at the secondary user (SU) network, two separate power allocation constraints are formed. For a two-hop decode-and-forward (DF) relaying protocol and two power allocation constraints, two relay selection schemes, namely, a full-channel state information (CSI)-based best relay selection (BRS) and a partial CSI-based best relay selection (PBRS), are proposed. The distributions of the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratios (e2e-SNRs) for the four cases are derived first, and then their outage probabilities and asymptotic outage probabilities are derived in closed-form. The derived asymptotic outage probabilities are utilized to see different diversity gains. Monte Carlo simulations have verified the derived diversity gains for the four different cases. We also present upper bounds on the ergodic capacities for two particular cases.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Humans rely increasingly on sensors to address grand challenges and to improve quality of life in the era of digitalization and big data. For ubiquitous sensing, flexible sensors are developed to overcome the limitations of conventional rigid counterparts. Despite rapid advancement in bench-side research over the last decade, the market adoption of flexible sensors remains limited. To ease and to expedite their deployment, here, we identify bottlenecks hindering the maturation of flexible sensors and propose promising solutions. We first analyze challenges in achieving satisfactory sensing performance for real-world applications and then summarize issues in compatible sensor-biology interfaces, followed by brief discussions on powering and connecting sensor networks. Issues en route to commercialization and for sustainable growth of the sector are also analyzed, highlighting environmental concerns and emphasizing nontechnical issues such as business, regulatory, and ethical considerations. Additionally, we look at future intelligent flexible sensors. In proposing a comprehensive roadmap, we hope to steer research efforts towards common goals and to guide coordinated development strategies from disparate communities. Through such collaborative efforts, scientific breakthroughs can be made sooner and capitalized for the betterment of humanity.

Cognitive amplify-and-forward relay networks with beamforming under primary user power constraint over Nakagami-m fading channels
- 2015

Ingår i: Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing. - : Wiley. - 1530-8669 .- 1530-8677. ; 15:1, s. 56-70

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we analyze the performance of cognitive amplify-and-forward (AF) relay networks with beamforming under the peak interference power constraint of the primary user (PU). We focus on the scenario that beamforming is applied at the multi-antenna secondary transmitter and receiver. Also, the secondary relay network operates in channel state information assisted AF mode, and the signals undergo independent Nakagami-m fading. In particular, closed-form expressions for the outage probability and symbol error rate (SER) of the considered network over Nakagami-m fading are presented. More importantly, asymptotic closed-form expressions for the outage probability and SER are derived. These tractable closed-form expressions for the network performance readily enable us to evaluate and examine the impact of network parameters on the system performance. Specifically, the impact of the number of antennas, the fading severity parameters, the channel mean powers, and the peak interference power is addressed. The asymptotic analysis manifests that the peak interference power constraint imposed on the secondary relay network has no effect on the diversity gain. However, the coding gain is affected by the fading parameters of the links from the primary receiver to the secondary relay network.
