For conventional multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) selective decode-and-forward (S-DF) relaying network, without global channel knowledge, base station (BS) normally allocates its transmission power for the channel links between itself and its served users. In this case, if the received signal power at relay station (RS) is larger enough, RS will help BS decode and forward the messages. However,...
Spectrum sharing between radar and communications systems is currently under investigation because of the high demand for new wireless services and shortage of available bandwidth. To effectively design their coexistence, it is crucial to understand how current unaltered radar and communication systems would affect one another. This paper investigates the effect of radar interference on an uncoded...
In this paper, we consider video communication over fading channel, where the perfect instantaneous channel state information (CSI) is available at both sender and receiver. Most of existing coding schemes are inefficient in this communication scenario. The reason is that for digital coding scheme, it has high coding efficiency but unavoidably leads to the cliff effect; while for analog scheme, it...
This article presents a simple, less computational complexity method for constructing exponent matrix (3, K) having girth at least 8 of quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) codes based on subtraction method. The construction of code deals with the generation of exponent matrix by three formulas. This method is flexible for any block-column length K. The simulations are shown in comparison...
In this paper, the energy efficiency (EE) of a cooperative diversity system with maximum diversity network coding (MDNC) is studied. In the considered system, channel state information (CSI) is only available at the receivers for all the channels. We formulate the problem of maximizing the EE under the constraint on the outage probability. The problem is NP-hard due to the non-convexity of the outage...
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) methods produce high dimensional representation of cognitive processes under heavy noise due to the limitations of hardware and measurement techniques. In order to reduce the noise and extract useful information from the fMRI data, a sequence of pre-processing techniques, such as smoothing with spatial filters and z-scoring, are used. In this study, we...
In this paper, we consider the performance analysis of a decode-and-forward (DF) cooperative relaying (CR) scheme over bursty impulsive noise channel. As compared to existing literature, here, we generalize the performance analysis to the multi-relay scenario with and without considering error propagation from the relays. For this scheme, we evaluate the bit error rate (BER) performance in the presence...
This paper focuses on the achievable secrecy throughput in the hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) protocol over quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels for the wiretap channel model. We propose a scheme that ensures reliable and secure communication utilizing polar coding in conjunction with the HARQ protocol. Security and reliability is ensured even when the instantaneous power of the wiretap channel...
This paper considers a hybrid cochannel MIMO cellular network with both cellular and device-to-device (D2D) users, and studies, from a new perspective, mode selection (cellular or D2D mode) for the potential D2D users joining the network. We propose a new mode selection scheme that takes into account not only the interference caused to the potential D2D users, but also the interference caused by the...
Adaptive linear programming (ALP) decoders are mainly used for decoding low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. The principle of ALP decoders is based on generating redundant-parity check equations, which could eliminate fractional solutions of linear programming (LP) decoders. These generated redundant parity check equations increase the error rate performance of decoder. In this paper, LP model is...
In this paper, decentralized heuristic access policies are designed for two secondary users (SUs) in an underlay cognitive radio network in which the PU employs Type-I Hybrid ARQ. Exploiting the redundancy in PU retransmissions, each SU receiver applies interference cancellation (IC) to remove a successfully decoded PU message in the subsequent PU retransmissions. There is no central control unit...
In this paper, we investigate energy cooperation among sustainable cooperative relay nodes, which adopt decode- and-forward (DF) relaying. The relay nodes work on either information decoding (ID) mode or energy harvesting (EH) mode when receiving the signal from the source. Due to different harvested energy at the relay nodes, effective energy cooperation can benefit the energy efficiency, but suffer...
The focus of this work is on the design of Raptor codes for continuous variable Quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) systems. We design a highly efficient Raptor code for very low signal to noise ratios (SNRs), which enables CV-QKD systems to operate over long distances with a significantly higher secret key rate compared to conventional fixed rate codes. The degree distribution design of Raptor codes...
In this paper, we investigate low-complexity, receiver-driven strategies for the transmission of two correlated sources in a multiple access quasi-static fading channel. We consider two different transmission modes at the physical (PHY) layer depending on the average signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the involved Rayleigh fading channels. The two modes that are allowed are orthogonal transmissions and...
Ambient noise not only influences the data transmission but also causes incorrect CSI. To overcome the low SNR problem, traditional methods usually retransmit the same packet for enough times to increase the SNR. Unfortunately, recently works only focus on the failed data retransmission, yet totally overlook the incorrect channel estimation, which are not efficient for multi-user MIMO WLAN. As long...
Trying to overcome the obstacles, such as low throughput and high SER or BER in traditional satellite systems, PNC was implied in the Satellite PNC System established in this paper with efficiency and reliability. The performances of AF-PNC, DF-PNC and DNF-PNC in the Satellite PNC System were investigated with simulations. With simulations results, an adaptive PNC strategy-Adaptive PNC was proposed...
Modern wireless systems deal with the adverse and unpredictable channel conditions using two main transmission schemes considered as complimentary: adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) and hybrid ARQ (HARQ). In this work we use the effective capacity as the performance measure to evaluate different design options. We thus show how to calculate this performance measure under independent, identically...
The recently approved IEEE 802.11ac WLAN standard has dramatically boosted Wi-Fi capabilities through supporting more data streams, larger bandwidth and more efficient frame-aggregation, leading to significantly higher data rates. The multitude of data rates and MIMO configurations to choose from has made it crucial to develop efficient algorithms for rate adaptation and MIMO mode selection (spatial...
This paper investigates the linear network coding map in a Physical-layer Network Coding (PNC) operated two-way relay network. To realize the full potential of Physical-layer Network Coding in high SNR regimes, we need to use high-order signaling beyond BPSK/QPSK. In a PNC system with high-order signaling, we can have many different choices for the network coding (NC) map. For linear network coding,...
UHF EPC Gen2 RFID systems use Dynamic Frame Slotted ALOHA (DFSA) to manage reading of multiple RFID tags. In DFSA, the reader may receive short address messages (RN16) from one or more tags at any given timeslot. To enable RFID readers to read a significantly large population of tags within a small time interval, it is required to increase the underlying throughput by maximizing the percentage of...
