Book excerpt: In this dissertation, we introduce a relay protocol for multiple-relay networks called parity forwarding. The relay channel is a classic multiuser information theory problem introduced in 1971, modeling a network of three nodes: a source, a destination, and a relay node. The relay has no message of its own and assists the source to communicate to the destination. Of the two main coding techniques for the relay channel, decode-and-forward (DF) and compress-and-forward (CF), our focus is to understand the DF scheme for single- and multiple-relay channels. For the single-relay channel, we present an interpretation of the classic DF strategy from a linear-coding perspective. Identifying binning in the classic DF strategy as parity bit generation, we devise ensembles of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, called bilayer LDPC codes, to incorporate the parity bits generated by the relay in the decoding process at the destination. We develop code design techniques and optimize the parameters of the bilayer LDPC code structure to show that bilayer LDPC codes can approach the theoretical DF rate. Inspired by the relation between binning and parity bits, we introduce the parity forwarding protocol to improve on the achievable DF rate in a multiple-relay network. For a two-relay network, we show that the previous multihop DF protocol can be improved if the relays forward parity messages and receivers (relays or the destination) use a joint decoding scheme. Depending on the relation between relay messages and decoded messages at each relay, different parity forwarding protocols are possible. In this thesis, we present a structured characterization of a class of parity forwarding protocols for multiple-relay networks. We propose a tree structure to describe the relations between messages. Using this tree structure, we derive a closed-form expression for the parity forwarding rate in a relay network with an arbitrary number of relays. Finally, examples of new types of degraded multiple-relay networks are presented for which the parity forwarding protocol achieves capacity.

Download or read book Low density Parity check Codes for Wireless Relay Networks written by Xinsheng Zhou and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In wireless networks, it has always been a challenge to satisfy high traffic throughput demands, due to limited spectrum resources. In past decades, various techniques, including cooperative communications, have been developed to achieve higher communication rates. This thesis addresses the challenges imposed by cooperative wireless networks, in particular focusing on practical code constructions and designs for wireless relay networks. The thesis is divided into the following four topics: 1) constructing and designing low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes for half-duplex three-phase two-way relay channels, 2) extending LDPC code constructions to half-duplex three-way relay channels, 3) proposing maximum-rate relay selection algorithms and LDPC code constructions for the broadcast problem in wireless relay networks, and 4) proposing an iterative hard interference cancellation decoder for LDPC codes in 2-user multiple-access channels. Under the first topic, we construct codes for half-duplex three-phase two-way relay channels where two terminal nodes exchange information with the help of a relay node. Constructing codes for such channels is challenging, especially when messages are encoded into multiple streams and a destination node receives signals from multiple nodes. We first prove an achievable rate region by random coding. Next, a systematic LDPC code is constructed at the relay node where relay bits are generated from two source codewords. At the terminal nodes, messages are decoded from signals of the source node and the relay node. To analyze the performance of the codes, discretized density evolution is derived. Based on the discretized density evolution, degree distributions are optimized by iterative linear programming in three steps. The optimized codes obtained are 26% longer than the theoretic ones. For the second topic, we extend LDPC code constructions from half-duplex three-phase two-way relay channels to half-duplex three-way relay channels. An achievable rate region of half-duplex three-way relay channels is first proved. Next, LDPC codes for each sub-region of the achievable rate region are constructed, where relay bits can be generated only from a received codeword or from both the source codeword and received codewords. Under the third topic, we study relay selection and code constructions for the broadcast problem in wireless relay networks. We start with the system model, followed by a theorem stating that a node can decode a message by jointly decoding multiple blocks of received signals. Next, the maximum rate is given when a message is decoded hop-by-hop or decoded by a set of nodes in a transmission phase. Furthermore, optimal relay selection algorithms are proposed for the two relay schemes. Finally, LDPC codes are constructed for the broadcast problem in wireless relay networks. For the fourth topic, an iterative hard interference cancellation decoder for LDPC codes in 2-user multiple-access channels is proposed. The decoder is based on log-likelihood ratios (LLRs). Interference is estimated, quantized and subtracted from channel outputs. To analyze the codes, density evolution is derived. We show that the required signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the proposed low-complexity decoder is 0.2 dB higher than that for an existing sub-optimal belief propagation decoder at code rate 1/3.

Book excerpt: In the second part of the thesis, we first introduce a discrete memoryless relay network model consisting of one source, one destination and N relays. We then design a scheme based on partial decode-forward relaying. The source splits its message into one common part and N+1 private parts which are to be decoded at different relays. The source encodessplit message parts using length-N block Markov coding, in which each private message part is independently superimposed on the common parts of the current and N previous blocks. Using joint sliding window decoding, each relay fully recovers the common message part and its intended private message part with the same block index, then forwards them together to the following nodes in the next block. We derive the achievable rate of this scheme in a compact form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on how to apply network coding at different layers in wireless networks – including MAC, routing, and TCP – with special focus on cognitive radio networks. It discusses how to select parameters in network coding (e.g., coding field, number of packets involved, redundant information ration) in order to be suitable for the varying wireless environments. The author explores how to deploy network coding in MAC to improve network performance and examine joint network coding with opportunistic routing to improve the successful rate of routing. In regards to TCP and network coding, the author considers transport layer protocol working with network coding to overcome the transmission error rate, particularly with how to use the ACK feedback of TCP to enhance the efficiency of network coding. The book pertains to researchers and postgraduate students, especially whose interests are in opportunistic routing and TCP in cognitive radio networks.
