The performance of cooperative network can be increased by using relay selection technique. Therefore, interest in relay selection is sloping upward. We proposed two new relay selection schemes based on fuzzy logic for dual hop cooperative communication. These relay selection schemes require SNR (signal to noise ratio), cooperative gain and channel gain as input fuzzy parameters for selection o...

In this paper, we formulate relay selection into a Chinese restaurant game. A secure relay selection strategy is proposed for a wireless network, where multiple source nodes send messages to their destination nodes via several relay nodes, which have different processing and transmission capabilities as well as security properties. The relay selection utilizes a learning-based algorithm for the...

Relay selection schemes for cooperative communications to achieve full cooperative diversity gains while maintaining spectral and energy efficiency have been extensively studied in recent research. These schemes select only the best relay from multiple relaying candidates to cooperate with a communication link. In this paper, we review recently proposed cooperative communication protocols which...

With the fast development of communication networks, cooperative communication has been more widely used in many different fields, such as satellite networks, broadcast networks, internet and so on. Therefore relay channels have been playing a pivotal role since their definitions were proposed by Van-der Meulen. However, the general achievable rate region of a relay channel is still unknown whi...

In this paper, a combination of relay feedback identification and an algebraic control design method for stable systems is studied. Models with up to three parameters are estimated by means of a single asymmetrical relay experiment. Then a stable low order transfer function is identified. Then the controller is analytically derived from general solutions of Diophantine equations in the ring of ...

Relay selection has been regarded as an effective method to improve the performance of cooperative communication system. However, frequent operation of relay selection can bring enormous control message overhead and thereby decrease the performance of cooperative communication. To reduce the relay selection frequency, in this paper, we propose a relay selection scheme to choose the best relay w...

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) is a promising new solution to provide a perpetual lifetime for energy constrained nodes in wireless networks. In this paper, we consider a wireless sensor relay network, where relay nodes forward a radio frequency (RF) signal from a source node to a destination node by first harvesting energy from the RF signal. For multiple relay no...

This paper explores the relay selection scheme for two-way relay channels with physical layer network coding (PNC), where two end nodes exchange information via a selected relay node with the minimal symbol error rate (SER) performance among multiple candidate relay nodes. To reduce the computational complexity, we also propose a suboptimal minimal SER-based relay selection. The end-to-end SER ...

Network deployment problem is one of the major issues when base stations and relay stations are jointly deployed. Deploying relay station at suitable position covers throughput enhancement and coverage extension problem in IEEE 802.16j MMR networks. In this paper we have proposed a new adaptive model for throughput enhancement and optimal relay selection in IEEE 802.16j MMR networks and studied...
