Two-way relay channel (TWRC) models a cooperative communication situation performing duplex transmission via a relay station. For this channel, we have shown previously that a lattice-based physical layer network coding strategy achieves, at the limit of arbitrarily large dimension, the same rate as that offered by the random coding-based regular compressand-forward. In this paper, we investiga...

One-way wireless relay networks have recently received a lot of attention due to their ability to provide spatial diversity in fadingwireless environment.Moreover, performing single-relay selection is a very attractive method due to its cost effective implementation and superior performance. However, one-way relay networks with the half-duplex signalling suffer from a spectral efficiency loss. ...

We consider a discrete memoryless relay channel, where both relay and destination may have an incorrect estimation of the channel. This estimation error is modeled with mismatched decoders. In this paper, we provide a lower-bound on the mismatch capacity of the relay channel. Moreover, we prove that this lower-bound is indeed the exact capacity for the degraded relay channel when random coding ...

In [1] a rate-compatible joint network-channel code (JNCC) for the two-way relay channel was proposed which can be applied for the cooperative uplink and downlink in a mobile communication system with the help of a relay. We assume the system model of [1] and present an improved JNCC which is based on the decode-and-forward scheme of [2]. In [2] a coding scheme was proposed which does not consi...

In a bi-directional relay channel, a pair of nodes wish to exchange independent messages over a shared wireless half-duplex channel with the help of relays. Recent work has mostly considered information theoretic limits of the bi-directional relay channel with two terminal nodes (or end users) and one relay. In this work we consider bi-directional relaying with one base station, multiple termin...

In this paper, an interval approach is presented to achieve perfect selectivity and maximum sensitivity in distance relay zones, considering uncertainties. For this purpose, first, the uncertainties affecting the settings of the three zones of a distance relay are discussed. Then, by using the Monte-Carlo simulation, the uncertainties are modelled and the impedances seen by the distance relay a...

Physical-layer network coding (PNC) is a novel cooperative technique for two-way relay channel (TRC), where two users exchange information via intermediate relay node(s). On the other hand, the issue of green communications to reduce energy consumption has recently started to arouse much attention. This article studies the energyefficient resource allocation problem for orthogonal frequency div...

Channel estimation via training is a common method for providing imperfect channel state information (CSI) in a network. In a relay network, imperfect CSI can be efficiently provided at the relays by sending training signals from the source and the destination nodes to the relays. Providing imperfect CSI at the destination is more challenging since each relay is required to send training signal...
