This paper presents a new cooperative ARQ protocol for a hybrid mobile wireless sensor network. The mobile relay nodes decode the signal from the source sensor using cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and forward it to the destination sink. A distributed relay selection that exploits overhearing of inter-relay node transmission is employed to achieve higher selection diversity gain during retransmis...

© 2010 ETRI Journal, Volume 32, Number 2, April 2010 The IEEE802.16j standard uses non-transparent relay stations to extend coverage. There are two types of nontransparent relay modes, that is, the time-division transmit and receive (TTR) relay mode which can operate with one of two types of frame structures, a single-frame and multiframe structure, and the simultaneous transmit and receive (ST...

Relay networks have recently attracted extensive attention due to its potential to increase coverage area and channel capacity. In a relay network, a source node communicates with a destination node with the help of the relay node. The performances of improving the channel capacity and coverage area have been explored and evaluated in the literature (Sendonaris et al., 2003)-(Laneman et al., 20...

We consider a cooperative wireless network comprised of a source, a destination and multiple relays operating in the presence of an eavesdropper, which attempts to tap the source-destination transmission. We propose multi-relay selection scheme for protecting the source against eavesdropping. More specifically, multi-relay selection allows multiple relays to simultaneously forward the source’s ...

Relaying is a convenient way to provide full coverage in cellular networks. In particular, small relay cells can be used as a cost-effective solution for indoor coverage in MIMO–OFDM systems. The small relay cells would need to cater for indoor users’ quality of service (QoS) expectations. One key QoS objective is delivering stable data rates for multimedia applications, which we refer to as gu...

The miscoordination and malfunctioning of directional overcurrent relays (DOCR) may occur due to a significant change in the fault current level (FCL) network topology, from radial ring caused by renewable energy resource-based distributed generation (RES-DG). In this paper, hybrid time–current–voltage (TCV)-based protection scheme is proposed eliminate DOCR reduce overall operation time DOCRs....

In this paper, distributed single relay selection in cooperative wireless networks is modeled as a Chinese restaurant game (CRG). Specifically, the CRG is used to model strategic relay selection decisions of source nodes, taking into account negative network externality due to the potential sharing of relay nodes among source nodes. Two cases are studied as follows: (i) perfect relay transmit p...

History of Relay The static relay is the next generation relay after electromechanical type.The Solid Static relays was first introduced in 1960’s. The term ‘static’ implies that the relay has no moving mechanical parts in it. Compared to the Electromechanical Relay, the Solid Static relay has longer life-span, decreased noise when operates and faster respond speed. However, it is not as robust...
