Multiple antenna transmission and reception have been shown to significantly increase the achievable data rates of wireless systems. However, most of the existing analysis assumes perfect or no channel information at the receiver and transmitter. The performance gap between these extreme channel assumptions is large and most practical systems lie in between. Therefore, it is important to analyz...

Energy harvesting (EH) and network coding (NC) have emerged as two promising technologies for future wireless networks. In this paper, we combine them together in a single system and then present a time switching-based network coding relaying (TSNCR) protocol for the two-way relay system, where an energy constrained relay harvests energy from the transmitted radio frequency (RF) signals from tw...

Finite State Markov (FSM) models for fading channels need to be revised for more realistic design of emerging mobile networks and their performance evaluation. In this paper a Outage Tolerant FSM Model (OTFSM) is proposed based on concept of certain tolerable outage times, which are defined as ‘Tolerance time’. These are the short duration of outage time which is considered as satisfactory time...

This paper investigates power splitting for fullduplex relay networks with wireless information and energy transfer. By applying power splitting as a relay transceiver architecture, the full duplex information relaying can be powered by energy harvested from the source-emitted radio frequency signal. In order to minimize outage probability, power splitting ratios have been dynamically optimized...

We propose a simple and accurate method to evaluate the outage probability at the output of arbitrarily fading L-branch diversity combining receiver. The method is based on the saddlepoint approximation, which only requires the knowledge of the moment generating functions of the signal-to-noise ratio at the output of each diversity branch. In addition, we show that the obtained results reduce t...

Abstracr--In this paper, we deal with the uplink outage probability for a UMTS cellular network at a reference base station equipped with a smart antenna. Users are assumed to be distributed according to a planar Poisson point proce:rs. Their respective transmission rates are modeled by independent random variables. This leads to a compound Poisson process for the total data rate to be served i...

In this paper, we analyze the outage behavior of decode-and-forward relaying in the context of selective two-way cooperative systems. First, a new relay selection metric is proposed to take into consideration both transmission rates and instantaneous link conditions between cooperating nodes. Afterwards, the outage probability of the proposed system is derived for Nakagami-m fading channels in ...

In spectrum sharing systems, a secondary user (SU) is permitted to share frequency bands with primary user (PU) as long as its transmission does not interfere with the PU’s communication. In this paper, the outage probability is investigated for the physical-layer network coding (PNC) based cognitive two-way relay network over Nakagami-m fading channel. By applying the interference temperature ...

To account for randomly distributed nodes in a wireless ad hoc network, the transmission capacity is defined as the number of successful transmissions taking place in the network per unit area under an outage constraint. In this paper, we analyze the transmission capacity for dual-hop relaying in a wireless ad hoc network in the presence of both cochannel interference and thermal noise, where i...

—In this paper, aiming to minimize the system outage probability in the condition of limited total power consumption, we study the optimal power allocation and relay positioning of the opportunistic incremental Amplify-and-Forward (OIAF) cooperative system over Rayleigh fading channels with the utilization of convex optimization theory. The analysis of the outage probability and bit error rate...
