In this paper, Ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple access relay channel with correlated noises at the relay and receiver is investigated. We obtain outer and inner bounds for the IEEE 802.15.3a UWB multiple access relay channel, and also, a diversity gain bound. Finally, we evaluate some results numerically and show that noise correlation coefficients play important role in determining relay position.

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...

This paper studies optimal power allocation to minimize symbol error rate (SER) of amplify-and-forward cooperative diversity networks. First, we analytically solve optimal power allocation problem to minimize SER for three different scenarios, namely, multi-branch single-relay, single-branch multi-relay and multi-branch multi-relay cooperative diversity networks, all subject to a given total re...

In this paper, we investigate the physical layer security of an untrusted relay assisted over-the-air computation (AirComp) network, where each node is equipped with multiple antennas and operated in amplify-and-forward mode. The receives data from sensor sends them to access point (AP) first second time slot, respectively. AP applies artificial noise (AN) protect aggregation sensors’ being wir...

the design and application of a fuzzy logic based controller to a leakage current relay waspresented in this paper. a novel approach based on fuzzy logic to form the tripping action of leakagecurrent relay was investigated. in addition to the theoretical aspect of fuzzy logic, detection of a leakagecurrent, measurement of the leakage current, determination of its duration, trip opening of fault...

this with the integration of distributed generation (dg) to meshed distribution systems, the operating time of the protective system becomes a major concern in order to avoid nuisance dg tripping. this paper proposes a new tripping characteristic for directional overcurrent relays (docrs) that can achieve a higher possible reduction of overall relays operating time in meshed distribution networ...

In this paper, we study the performance of the selection combining and switch and stay combining methods in secure cooperative device-to-device (D2D) communications underlying a cellular network where an untrusted amplify and forward relay helps D2D communications. In our model, we specifically consider the interference from the cellular system over the D2D pair and the interference from the D2...

We present Drac, a system designed to provide anonymity and unobservability for real-time instant messaging and voice-over-IP communications against a global passive adversary. The system uses a relay based anonymization mechanism where circuits are routed over a social network in a peer-to-peer fashion, using full padding strategies and separate epochs to hide connection and disconnection even...
