L2TP Active Discovery Relay for PPPoE describes a method to relay Active Discovery and Service Selection functionality from PPPoE over the reliable control channel within L2TP. Two new L2TP control message types and associated PPPoE-specific Attribute Value Pairs (AVPs) for L2TP are defined. This relay mechanism provides enhanced integration of a specific feature in the PPPoE tunneling protocol...

Channel capacity; Decode-and-forward; Half-duplex; Iterative decoding; Polar coding; Relay channel Abstract In this paper, a novel transmission protocol based on polar coding is proposed for the half-duplex degraded relay channel. In the proposed protocol, referred to as the partial message relaying, the relay only needs to forward a part of the decoded source message that the destination needs...

A method to improve the reliability of data transmission between two terminals without using multiple antennas is cooperative communication, where spatial diversity is introduced by the presence of a relay terminal. The Quantize and Forward (QF) protocol is suitable to implement in resource constraint relays, because of its low complexity. In prior studies of the QF protocol, all channel parame...

Cooperative diversity has been recently proposed as a way to form virtual antenna arrays that provide dramatic gains in slow fading wireless environments. However most of the proposed solutions require simultaneous relay transmissions at the same frequency bands, using distributed space-time coding algorithms. Careful design of distributed space-time coding for the relay channel, is usually bas...

A combined analysis of the polarization vector of the Λ baryons produced in DIS processes may give a relevant insight of the hadronization process which governs the transition from partons to physical hadrons and precise indications on the mechanisms of spin transfer from partons to hadrons. We give here a short review of some interesting results.

The authors investigate the effect of feedback delay on the average capacity of a decode-and-forward cooperative network with relay selection. In particular, a multi-relay cooperative scenario is considered, where the best relay is selected from a subset of relays that are able to decode the source information correctly. In this selection scenario, the authors assume that the destination termin...

The authors study the design of cooperative beamforming for an underlay cognitive relay network over frequency selective fading channels. The network under consideration consists of one primary link, one secondary link and relay nodes that assist the communication. It is assumed imperfect blind channel estimation, i.e. only the second order statistics – with uncertainty – of the channel gain be...

We consider a full-duplex state-dependent relay channel with state non-causally available at only the relay. In the framework of cooperative wireless networks, some specific terminals can be equipped with cognition capabilities, i.e, the relay in our model. In the discrete memoryless (DM) case, we obtain inner and outer bounds on the capacity. The inner bound is obtained by a coding scheme at t...

In this paper, a direct/cooperative relay switched single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) using amplify-andforward (AF) protocol and spectrum division/adaptive subcarrier allocation (SDASA) is proposed. Using SDASA, the transmit SC signal spectrum is divided into sub-blocks, to each of which a different set of subcarriers (resource block) is adaptively allocated according t...

The K-user MIMO Y-channel consisting of K users which want to exchange messages among each other via a common relay node is studied in this paper. A transmission strategy based on channel diagonalization using zero-forcing beam-forming is proposed. This strategy is then combined with signal-space alignment for network-coding, and the achievable degrees-of-freedom region is derived. A new degree...
