We consider a state-dependent three-terminal full-duplex relay channel with the channel states noncausally available at only the source, that is, neither at the relay nor at the destination. This model has application to cooperation over certain wireless channels with asymmetric cognition capabilities and cognitive interference relay channels. We establish lower bounds on the channel capacity f...

In this paper we adapt and evaluate the performance of two classical pilotaided channel estimation schemes designed for OFDM systems: least square and minimum mean square error, in a relay-assisted scenario. We consider the Amplifyand-Forward, which is the simplest relay protocol for cooperative systems. Also, we consider the use of a single antenna at all the terminals: base station, user term...

A novel coding technique is proposed for the relay channel. The source broadcasts a recursive convolutional code to both relay and destination. After detecting the data broadcasted by the source, the relay interleaves and re-encodes the message prior to forwarding it to the destination. Because the destination receives both codes in parallel, a distributed turbo code is embedded in the relay ch...

A novel coding technique, termed distributed turbo coding, is proposed for the quasi-static relay channel. The source broadcasts a recursive code to both relay and destination. After detecting the data broadcasted by the source, the relay interleaves and re-encodes the message prior to forwarding it to the destination. Because the destination receives both codes in parallel, a distributed turbo...

In this paper, we address the problem of communication over the relay channel from the perspective of a stochastic game and evaluate the fundamental tradeoffs between direct communication and relaying through a detailed foray into the questions of throughput, delay and energy-efficiency. We consider a simple wireless ad-hoc network with a transmitter, a relay and a common destination. The relay...

This paper investigates the degrees of freedom of the interference channel in the presence of a dedicated MIMO relay. The relay is used to manage the interference at the receivers. It is assumed that all nodes including the relay have channel state information only for their own links and that the relay has M ≥ K antennas in a K-user network. We pose the question: What is the benefit of exploit...

This study investigates wireless information and energy transfer for dual-hop amplify-and-forward full-duplex relaying systems. By forming energy efficiency (EE) maximization problem into a concave fractional program of transmission power, three relay control schemes are separately designed to enable energy harvesting and full-duplex information relaying. With Rician fading modeled residual sel...

In this paper, we study the transmit diversity of the cooperative relay system employing multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology, especially for the Alamouti space-time block codes (STBC), over slow Rayleigh fading channel. The transmit diversity gain is achieved by STBC and cooperative technology. Maximum ratio combining (MRC) and maximum likelihood detection (MLD) are applied in the ...

by Utsaw Kumar The presence of inexpensive and powerful sensing and communication devices has made it possible to deploy large scale distributed systems for a variety of applications. Interactions among different components of such a system include communication of information and controlling dynamical processes, among others. Thus, it is important to blend ideas from information theory and con...
