Cache Aided Decode-and-Forward Relaying Networks: From the Spatial View

Are Amplify-and-Forward Relaying and Decode-and-Forward Relaying the Same?

Cascade decode-and-forward: spatial diversity reuse in sensor networks

In this paper, we consider a wireless sensor network that involves sensory data hoping through multiple wireless relays to reach a central collection hub. In particular we improve the decode-and-forward cooperative relaying scheme. In this paper, we propose the Cascade-Decode-and-Forward, where the number of successful relays increases with each additional cooperation stage. The achieved effect...

Decode-and-forward relaying based on orthogonal complementary codes

In this note, we propose a full-duplex decode-and-forward cooperative diversity scheme based on code division with orthogonal complementary codes. We consider a simple case in which a single user is assisted by a single relay to achieve cooperative diversity. When the cooperation is full-duplex, the operational delay of the relay makes the channel asynchronous and this may cause multiple-access...

Rate, Reliability, and Delay Tradeoffs for Decode-and-Forward Relaying

We extend the random coding error exponent to three common decode-and-forward schemes for the relay channel. The resulting bounds give achievable tradeoffs among rate, reliability, and delay, allowing comparison of decode-and-forward with direct transmission and other schemes in broader terms than asymptotic achievable rates alone. In contrast to the asymptotic case in which the achievable rate...

LDPC Code Design for Half-Duplex Decode-and-Forward Relaying

We propose LDPC code designs for the half-duplex relay channel. Our designs mimic the information theoretic random coding scheme for decode-and-forward relaying. An important advantage of our scheme is that it is built entirely of single-user codes that can be decoded by belief propagation. The optimization of relay LDPC code profiles presents unique challenges, which are met by using the densi...
