Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transmission over wireless networks presents multiple technical challenges due to noise, interference, fading, power constraints and bandwidth limitation. Different solutions have been propposed to overcome these issues and some of them are treated here. Cooperative diversity has been proposed as an implementation for networks where terminals are restricted to using physical arrays; this technique implements space diversity by creating virtual antennas arrays with cooperating nodes in order to combat multipath fading. Network Coding recently has been presented as a technique to increase the throughput in multicast networks. Most of the work done on the topic considers an error free transmission and few works have taken into account the errors due to the nature of the wireless channel. This thesis proposes the use of network coding over some scenarios in relay networks, in order to obtain diversity. It also addresses some cooperative protocols and their performance in terms of bit error rate. Reliability criteria based on channel information are established for a practical network implementation. In short, we propose a scheme for a wireless network using ideas based on network coding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the rapid growth of wireless technologies, devices and mobile applications, the quest of high throughput and ubiquitous connectivity in wireless communications increases rapidly as well. Relaying is undoubtedly a key concept to provide coverage extension and capacity increase in wireless networks. Network coding, which allows the intermediate nodes to share their computation capabilities in addition to their resource and their power, has grabbed a significant research attention since its inception in information theory. It has become an attractive candidate to bring promising performance improvement, especially in terms of throughput, in relay-based cellular networks. Substantial research efforts are currently focused on theoretical analysis, implementation and evaluation of network coding from a physical layer perspective. The question is, what is the most efficient and practical way to use network coding in wireless relay-based networks, and whether it is beneficial to exploit the broadcast and multiple-access properties of the wireless medium to perform network coding. It is in such a context, that this thesis proceeds. In the first part of the thesis, the problem of Joint Network-Channel Coding (JNCC) for a Multiple Access Relay Channel (MARC) is investigated in the presence of multiple access interferences and for both of the relay operating modes, namely, half-duplex and full-duplex. To this end, three new classes of MARC, referred to as Half-Duplex Semi-Orthogonal MARC (HD-SOMARC), Half-Duplex Non-Orthogonal MARC (HD-NOMARC), and Full-Duplex Non-Orthogonal MARC (FD-NOMARC) have been introduced and studied. The relaying function in all of the classes is based on a Selective Decode-and-Forward (SDF) strategy, which is individually implemented for each source, i.e, the relay forwards only a deterministic function of the error-free decoded messages. For each class, an information-theoretic analysis is conducted, and practical coding and decoding techniques are proposed. The proposed coding schemes, perform very close to the outage limit for both cases of HD-SOMARC and HD-NOMARC. Besides, in the case of HD-NOMARC, the optimal allocation of the transmission time to the relay is considered. It is also verified that exploiting multiple access interferences, either partially or totally, results in considerable gains for MARC compared to the existing interference-avoiding structures, even in the case of single receive antenna. In the second part of the thesis, the network model is extended by considering multiple relays which help multiple sources to communicate with a destination. A new class of Multiple Access Multiple Relay Channel (MAMRC), referred to as Half-Duplex Semi-Orthogonal MAMRC (HD-SOMAMRC) is then proposed and analyzed from both information theoretic and code design perspective. New practical JNCC schemes are proposed, in which binary channel coding and non binary network coding are combined, and they are shown to perform very close to the outage limit. Moreover, the optimal allocation of the transmission time to the sources and relays is considered. Finally, in the third part of the thesis, different ways of implementing cooperation, including practical relaying protocols are investigated for the half-duplex MARC with semi-orthogonal transmission protocol and in the case of JNCC. The hard SDF approach is compared with two Soft Decode and Forward (SoDF) relaying functions: one based on log a posterior probability ratios (LAPPRs) and the other based on Mean Square Error (MSE) estimate. It is then shown that SDF works well in most of the configurations and just in some extreme cases, soft relaying functions (based on LAPPR or MSE estimate) can slightly outperform the hard selective one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has recently been growing interest in using physical layer network coding techniques to facilitate information transfer in wireless relay networks. The physical layer network coding technique takes advantage of the additive nature of wireless signals by allowing two terminals to transmit simultaneously to the relay node. This technique has several performance benefits, such as improving utilization and throughput of wireless channels and reducing delay. In this thesis, we present an algorithm for joint decoding of two unsynchronized transmitters to a modulo-2 sum of their transmitted messages. We address the problems that arise when the boundaries of the signals do not align with each other and when their phases are not identical. Our approach uses a state-based Viterbi decoding scheme that takes into account the timing offsets between the interfering signals. As a future research plan, we plan to utilize software-defined radios (SDRs) as a testbed to show the practicality of our approach and to verify its performance. Our simulation studies show that the decoder performs well with the only degrading factor being the noise level in the channel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy is one of the most important considerations in designing reliable low-power wireless communication networks. We focus on the problem of energy aware network coding. In particular, we investigate practical energy efficient network code design for wireless body area networks (WBAN). We first consider converge-cast in a star-shaped topology, in which a central base station (BS), or hub, manages and communicates directly with a set of nodes. We then consider a wireless-relay channel, in which a relay node assists in the transmission of data from a source to a destination. This wireless relay channel can be seen as a simplified extended star network, where nodes have relay capabilities. The objective is to investigate the use of network coding in these scenarios, with the goal of achieving reliability under low-energy and lower-power constraints. More specifically, in a star network, we propose a simple network layer protocol, study the mean energy to complete uploads of given packets from the nodes to the BS using a Markov chain model, and show through numerical examples that when reception energy is taken into account, the incorporation of network coding offers reductions in energy use. The amount of achievable gains depends on the number of nodes in the network, the degree of asymmetry in channel conditions experienced by different nodes, and the relative difference between transmitting and receiving power at the nodes. We also demonstrate the compatibility of the proposed scheme with the IEEE 802.15.6 WBAN standard by describing ways of incorporating network coding into systems compliant to the standard. For a wireless relay channel, we explore the strategic use of network coding according to both throughput and energy metrics. In the relay channel, a single source communicates to a single sink through the aid of a half-duplex relay. The fluid flow model is used to describe the case where both the source and the relay are coding, and Markov chain models are proposed to describe packet evolution if only the source or only the relay is coding. Although we do not attempt to explicitly categorize the optimal network coding strategies in the relay channel under different system parameters, we provide a framework for deciding whether and where to code, taking into account of throughput maximization and energy depletion constraints.

Download or read book Coding for Relay Networks with Parallel Gaussian Channels written by Yu-Chih Huang and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wireless relay network consists of multiple source nodes, multiple destination nodes, and possibly many relay nodes in between to facilitate its transmission. It is clear that the performance of such networks highly depends on information forwarding strategies adopted at the relay nodes. This dissertation studies a particular information forwarding strategy called compute-and-forward. Compute-and-forward is a novel paradigm that tries to incorporate the idea of network coding within the physical layer and hence is often referred to as physical layer network coding. The main idea is to exploit the superposition nature of the wireless medium to directly compute or decode functions of transmitted signals at intermediate relays in a network. Thus, the coding performed at the physical layer serves the purpose of error correction as well as permits recovery of functions of transmitted signals. For the bidirectional relaying problem with Gaussian channels, it has been shown by Wilson et al. and Nam et al. that the compute-and-forward paradigm is asymptotically optimal and achieves the capacity region to within 1 bit; however, similar results beyond the memoryless case are still lacking. This is mainly because channels with memory would destroy the lattice structure that is most crucial for the compute-and-forward paradigm. Hence, how to extend compute-and-forward to such channels has been a challenging issue. This motivates this study of the extension of compute-and-forward to channels with memory, such as inter-symbol interference. The bidirectional relaying problem with parallel Gaussian channels is also studied, which is a relevant model for the Gaussian bidirectional channel with inter-symbol interference and that with multiple-input multiple-output channels. Motivated by the recent success of linear finite-field deterministic model, we first investigate the corresponding deterministic parallel bidirectional relay channel and fully characterize its capacity region. Two compute-and-forward schemes are then proposed for the Gaussian model and the capacity region is approximately characterized to within a constant gap. The design of coding schemes for the compute-and-forward paradigm with low decoding complexity is then considered. Based on the separation-based framework proposed previously by Tunali et al., this study proposes a family of constellations that are suitable for the compute-and-forward paradigm. Moreover, by using Chinese remainder theorem, it is shown that the proposed constellations are isomorphic to product fields and therefore can be put into a multilevel coding framework. This study then proposes multilevel coding for the proposed constellations and uses multistage decoding to further reduce decoding complexity.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ubiquitous wireless networks in the next generation of communication systems have motivated advanced techniques with diverse ranges of connectivity, coverage, reliability, and throughput. The massive connectivity in the context of the heterogenous networks has conveyed to different sorts of challenges including inter-cell and intra-cell originated interferences. The complications aggravate due to the sporadic nature of the traffic generated by large-scale and low-powered networks over limited spectrum resources. In this thesis, different techniques in enhancing the reliability, as well as spectral and power efficiency in the future generations of the multi-point communication networks have been investigated. Our proposed schemes are based on the coordination of the transmitters in sharing the source information followed by the joint transmission and the iterative detection. in the context of the cooperative source and channel coding. The Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA), Coordinated Multi-Point (CoMP) transmission and the Iterative Joint Detection and Decoding (IJDD) receivers are the frameworks that we have used to validate our proposed improvements. We have initially investigated the cooperative NOMA as the physical layer network coding scheme in the downlink of wireless communication systems. It is proposed to benefit from the so-called interference received from adjacent cells instead of ignoring or cancelling them, as in the state-of-the-art systems. The application of cooperative NOMA is evaluated in a system-level information theoretic framework to optimize the user-pairing strategy. The results show the cell edges with the strongest interference are the optimal vicinity for the NOMA applications. Further, we have evaluated the NOMA for the uplink in the dense Internet of Things (IoT) systems, where the sensor elements observe the correlated sources. Realizing that the separation of source coding from channel coding in NOMA systems with correlated sources is suboptimal, we propose our scheme based on the cooperative source and channel coding. The transmitters are assumed to be privy to the whole data through a high-rate and low-latency background connection. The cooperative source coding is then followed by the transmission over the non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) channel. As the transmit signals experience different delay-spreads through the channel, the data streams are received asynchronously, resulting in inter-symbol interference (ISI) at the receiver. We show that the correlated nature of the asynchronous channels can be exploited as the extra source of information, provided that a proper detection technique is adopted. The capacity region is developed, where the sum-rate exceeds that of the synchronous NOMA. The potency of the successive interference cancellation (SIC) receivers, as the main block in NOMA receivers, is investigated. By applying water-filling and geometric power allocation, we show that the NOMA performance degradation in asynchronous channels is caused by the nature of SIC. We have proposed our iterative joint detection and decoding (IJDD) receiver that outperforms SIC in asynchronous NOMA receivers. Moreover, we have addressed two key challenges in Coordinated Multi-point (CoMP) networks. The asynchronous downlink and imperfect channel state information (CSI) are jointly considered in an information theoretical framework. We assume delays from the Transmission and Reception Points (TRP) to the target user, in general, may exceed cyclic prefix (CP) length, causing symbol-asynchronous reception at the receiver. We characterize an accurate mathematical model for the asynchronous Rayleigh fading channel with imperfect CSI for multi-TRP schemes. We have derived the capacity region for asynchronous CoMP systems and have generalized it to the multi-TRP schemes. We propose a low-complexity iterative detection scheme targeting minimizing the mean square error (MMSE) in our asynchronous fading channel model. Finally, we have associated the coordinated multi-point transmission with NOMA methodology. We have considered the downlink CoMP in a Single-Frequency Network (SFN) of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) broadcasting network. The coordinated transmit signals are assumed to have embedded Layered-Division Multiplexing (LDM) to enhance the coverage, reliability, and spectral efficiency in multi-content broadcasting. We have extended the MMSE-IJDD receiver to higher order modulation formats and have evaluated the order of the computational complexity for our proposed receiver to be in a decent range. Our extensive simulations validate the proposed scheme providing a considerable boost in the channel reliability, while enhancing the spectral and power efficiency, even as the number of TRPs increases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless networks have received considerable attention recently due to the high user demand for wireless services and the emergence of new applications. This thesis focuses on the problem of information dissemination in a class of wireless networks known as the multi-way relay channel. Physical layer network coding is considered to increase the throughput in these networks. First, an algorithm is proposed that increases the full data exchange throughput by 33% compared to traditional routing. This gain arises from providing common knowledge to users and exploiting this knowledge to restrain some users from transmitting. Second, for complex field network coding, a transmission scheme is designed that ensures the receipt of a QAM constellation at the relay. This requires precoding the user symbols to make all possible combinations distinguishable at the relay. Using this approach, the throughput of data exchange is 1/2 symbol per user per channel use. The error performance of both schemes is derived analytically for AWGN channels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, there has been a growing interest in improving the performance of the wireless relay networks through the use of Physical Layer Network Coding (PLNC) techniques. The physical layer network coding technique allows two terminals to transmit simultaneously to a relay node and decode the modulo-2 sum of the transmitted bits at the relay. This technique considerably improves performance over Digital Network Coding technique. In this thesis, we will present an algorithm for joint decoding of the modulo-2 sum of bits transmitted from two unsynchronized transmitters at the relay. We shall also address the problems that arise when boundaries of the signals do not align with each other and when the channel parameters are slowly varying and are unknown to the receiver at the relay node. Our approach will first jointly estimate the timing o sets and fading gains of both signals using a known pilot sequence sent by both transmitters in the beginning of the packet and then perform Maximum Likelihood detection of data using a state-based Viterbi decoding scheme that takes into account the timing o sets between the interfering signals. We shall present an algorithm for simultaneously tracking the amplitude and phase of slowly varying wireless channel that will work in conjunction our Maximum Likelihood detection algorithm. Finally, we shall provide extension of our receiver to support antenna diversity. Our results show that the proposed detection algorithm works reasonably well, even with the assumption of timing misalignment. We also demonstrate that the performance of the algorithm is not degraded by amplitude and/or phase mismatch between the users. We further show that the performance of the channel tracking algorithm is close to the ideal case i.e. when the channel estimates are perfectly known. Finally, we demonstrate the performance boost provided by the receiver antenna diversity.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation studies the communication technologies in relaying systems with multiple antennas, especially in the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) two-way relaying systems. Both information-theoretic aspects and practical communication strategies are considered and analyzed. For the information-theoretic analysis, an analytical framework for the coverage of MIMO relaying systems based on an outage capacity criterion is proposed. For MIMO two-way relaying systems, different data combining schemes at the relay are compared based on their achievable rates. In addition, optimal time-division (TD) strategies for MIMO two-way decode-and-forward (DF) relaying systems are proposed and analyzed. When the optimal TD strategies are applied, the increase of the achievable rate regions in the system is significant compared to those using the equal TD strategy. For the practical transmission schemes, we propose the self-interference (SI) aided channel estimation and data detection schemes for the broadcast phase of two-way DF relaying systems. Such schemes exploit the SI in two-way DF relaying systems when the superposition coding (SPC) scheme is applied. When the network coding scheme is applied in two-way DF relaying systems, we propose an asymmetric data rate transmission scheme that utilizes the known data bits at the receivers. Such a scheme exploits the a priori known bits at the weak link receiver in the broadcast phase of two-way relaying systems.
