Research in the area of peer-to-peer systems is mainly focused on structuring the overlay network. Little attention is paid to the process of setting up and joining a peer-to-peer overlay network, i.e. the bootstrapping of peer-to-peer networks. The major challenge is to get hold of one peer that is already in the overlay. Otherwise, the first peer must be able to detect that the overlay is currently...
The relay selection problem in a large wireless sensor network (WSN) with uniformly distributed identical nodes is investigated for a two-phase cooperative protocol where the signal transmitted from a single source is overheard by the network and is then relayed by multiple selected nodes subject to a total average transmission power. First, a relay selection technique is considered that maximizes...
In this paper, we address a sub-optimum distributed power allocation (SODPA) scheme for two-hop parallel relay networks, which includes a source-destination pair and multiple relay nodes. The system employs Decode-and-Forward (DF) as relaying protocol. In the proposed scheme, each relay is assumed to be able to decode the received signal if it satisfies the given SNR threshold and may make decision...
In this paper, we propose a hybrid relay selection (HRS) scheme in a general cooperative network using differential modulation. In the HRS scheme, when the destination decodes successfully, the relay nodes will remain silent. Otherwise, optimal relay node has to be determined to make an additional transmission. In this process, all the relays are divided into two groups, referred to as an amplify-and-forward...
In ad-hoc networks, cooperative diversity is especially beneficial where the use of multiple antennas may be impractical. There has been a lot of work on improving the peer-to-peer link quality by using advanced coding or power and rate allocation between a single source node and its relays. However, how to fairly and efficiently allocate resources among multiple users and their relays is still unknown...
Application relay is important for many delay-sensitive applications such as voice over Internet protocol (VoIP). It has been proved that relay selection would be optimized considering autonomous domains (ASes) relationship. We describe a new method for relay selection using service discovery in distributed hash table(DHT) in which relay service advertisements are indexed and clustered according to...
