Two-way decode-and-forward cooperative systems with signal space diversity

Abstract

In this paper, a novel scheme is proposed to enhance the spectral efficiency of a two-way cooperative relaying system, where two source terminals exchange information directly and via K intermediate relays using the three-phase two-way decode-and-forward (DF) protocol. Signal space diversity (SSD) is incorporated into the two-way cooperative relaying system in the proposed scheme that exploits the inherent diversity in the modulation signal space by rotating and expanding the ordinary constellation. The proposed SSD-based three-phase two-way DF relaying scheme exchanges four symbols in three time slots and thus doubles the spectral efficiency as compared to the conventional three-phase two-way DF relaying system, where six time slots are required to exchange the same four symbols. This improvement in spectral efficiency is achieved without adding any extra complexity, bandwidth, or transmit power. A comprehensive analysis of the proposed scheme is carried out in this paper, and closed-form expressions for various performance metrics, including error probability, outage probability, and channel capacity, are derived. It is shown that the proposed scheme provides a diversity gain equal to one higher than the number of relays. The paper also studies different schemes for the optimization of relay position and power allocation. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations are performed which confirm the validity and accuracy of the analytical framework.

A Review on Islamic Micro-insurance Studies

“…The concept of micro takaful is said to be close to takaful. Khan (2010) defines micro takaful as "a mechanism to provide Sharia-based protection to disadvantaged blue-collar workers at a reasonable cost". Micro-takaful is designed as a protection program for low-income people and the product can be delivered to them with some modifications (Amin., 2015).…”

Bi-directional relay network employing signal space diversity

“…The proposed scheme is shown to enhance both the spectral efficiency and reliability. In another work [20], following the scheme in [17], a multi-relay TWRC employing DF based SSD is presented. Again it has been shown that performance and spectral efficiency are enhanced.…”

Transmission completion time minimization in digital network coding assisted two-way relay OFDM networks

“…3 for relay phase, since both the power distribution schemes in Figs. 2 and 3 are with the computational complexity of O (1). In a Nsubcarrier two-way relay OFDM system, there are 2 N possible subchannel allocations, so the complexity of the optimal resource allocation based on exhaustive search is O 2 N .…”
