Wireless networks with the consideration of social relationships among network nodes are highly appealing for lots of important data communication services. Ensuring the security of such networks is of great importance to facilitate their applications in supporting future social-based services with strong security guarantee. This paper explores the physical layer security-based secure communica...

In this paper, we explore the impacts of utilizing intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) in a power-splitting based simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (PS-SWIPT) system and compare its performance with the traditional decode and forward relaying system. To analyze a more practical system, it is also assumed that the receiving nodes are subject to decoding cost, and they are on...

In this study, we analyzed an intra-cluster based cooperative energy detection between source (S) and destination (D), the network model consisting of one source, one destination and M number of clusters between the source and destination and each cluster consisting of N number of cognitive relays. We analyzed the performance of inter-cluster and intra-cluster cooperative energy detection. We d...

In this paper, a cooperative algorithm to improve the orthogonal space-timefrequency block codes (OSTFBC) in frequency selective channels for 2*1, 2*2, 4*1, 4*2 MIMO-OFDM systems, is presented. The algorithm of three node, a source node, a relay node and a destination node is formed, and is implemented in two stages. During the first stage, the destination and the relay antennas receive the sym...

--Performance degradation is an major problem in a relay based Decode-and-Forward (DF) receiving cooperative system. In the DF protocol , existing decoder performances have high decoding complexity, because destination require exact knowledge of the sourcerelay link along with the channel coefficient of source-destination and relay –destination links. In the proposed method, degradation can be ...

In cooperative transmission users are allowed to share antennas to transmit their messages to a common destination. Users employ either amplify-and-forward or decodeand-forward strategies to forward each others’ messages. In network-coding-based cooperative transmission schemes, users are allowed to combine their own and their partner’s message by a network-coding operation. This work analysis ...
