    Network coding for cooperative multi-user wireless communication systems

    No full text
    In the first chapter, Space Time Trellis Codes (STTCs), Space Time Block Codes (STBCs) and Sphere-Packing-Space-Time Block Codes (SP-STBC) are reviewed. These schemes belong to the specific family of Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) systems designed for achieving a diversity gain. The performance of the SP-STBC scheme is compared to other coded conventional modulation systems, namely to that of STBC-Phase Shift Keying or Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (STBC-PSK/QAM) and to that of STTC-Phase Shift Keying or Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (STTC-PSK/QAM). The rest of this chapter reviews other preliminaries pertaining to the context of cooperative communications and network coding.In Chapter 2, an in-depth study of the capacity and outage probability of the Continuous-input Continuous-output Memoryless Channel (CCMC), Discrete-input Continuous-output Memoryless Channel (DCMC) and of Differential Discrete-input Continuous-output Memoryless Channel (DDCMC) is presented. The study also considers various propagation phenomena, namely the smallscale fading and the large-scale fading. The frame-length is also taken into consideration when calculating the achievable throughput and outage probability, which serve as useful benchmarks for our near-capacity coding schemes. Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) charts are used for designing Irregular Convolutional Coded Unity Rate Coded M-ary Phase Shift Keying (IrCC-URCMPSK), Irregular Convolutional Coded Unity Rate Coded Differential M-ary Shift Keying (IrCCURC-DMPSK) and Irregular Convolutional Coded Unity Rate Coded Space Time Trellis Coded M-ary Phase Shift Keying (IrCC-URC-STTC-MPSK) schemes.In Chapter 3, a novel Distributed Concatenated IrCC-URC-STTC (DC-IrCC-URC-STTC) scheme is proposed for cooperative single-user systems relying on single-antenna aided relays, based on the studies conducted in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. In this contribution, each coding arrangement of the entire DC-IrCC-URC-STTC scheme is designed for achieving decoding convergence to a vanishingly low Bit Error Ratio (BER) by employing non-binary EXIT-charts. Additionally, the EXIT charts are employed for calculating the most appropriate positions of the relays by ensuring that decoding convergence to a vanishingly low BER occurs at a similar Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) both at the relays and at the destination.In Chapter 4, Multi-User Cooperative Communications is designed for supporting M users with the aid of near-capacity network coding. We first derive the upper and lower Frame Error Ratio (FER) performance bounds of cooperative multi-user communications systems using network coding. Then, we investigate Near-Capacity Multi-user Network-coding (NCMN) based systems using the IrCC-URC-MPSK scheme of Chapter 2. In parallel to the investigation of coherent NCMN systems, we also explored Near-capacity Non-coherent Cooperative Network-coding aided Multi-user (NNCNM) based systems using the IrCC-URC-DMPSK, which do not require channel estimation at the receiver’s side. This reduces the complexity imposed, albeit this is achieved at a 3 dB SNR-loss. Moreover, a new technique referred to as the Pragmatic Algebraic Linear Equation Method (PALEM) was proposed for exactly determining the number of information sources that may be recovered from the composite NCMN stream, which results in a more accurate evaluation of the attainable FER performance of the NCMN and NNCNM based systems. The design principles presented in this contribution can be extended to a vast range of NCMN and NNCNM based systems using arbitrary channel coding schemes.In Chapter 5, the NCMN and NNCNM based systems of Chapter 4 are generalised for introducing the Generalised NCMN (GNCMN) system, which has a multi-layer architecture and it is capable of operating in multiple modes. More specifically, the GNCMN system may operate upon employing either individually or in a combined fashion using a single Channel Coding (CC) layer plus two network coding layers, namely Network Coding 1 (NC1) and Network Coding 2 (NC2). Additionally, the GNCMN system is capable of simultaneously exploiting the advantages of all the modes available in each layer of the system as well as appropriately combining the advantageous modes across all the three layers. Finally, in Chapter 6, the summary of our findings are presented in order to facilitate our discussions on future research

    Distributed Three-Stage Concatenated Irregular Convolutional, Unity-Rate and Space-Time Trellis Coding for Single-Antenna Aided Cooperative Communications

    No full text
    In this contribution, we propose a Distributed Concatenated Irregular Convolutional Coded Unity Rate Coded and Space Time Trellis Coded (DC-IrCC-URC-STTC) scheme for cooperative communications employing multiple single-antenna relays. Each coding arrangement is designed for efficient decoding convergence by employing non-binary Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) charts. The source node transmits two-stage IrCC-URC encoded symbols to two relays during the first transmission period. Then each relay performs two-stage URC-IrCC decoding and re-encodes the information bits using the three-stage concatenated coding scheme IrCC-URC-STTC. However, only the signals of one predefined STTC output are transmitted from each relay to the destination node during the second transmission period. At the destination, the received signals are treated as if they arrived from one transmitter employing STTC using two co-located transmit antennas. The simulation results show that the Monte-Carlo based performance of the DC-IrCC-URC-STTC scheme exactly matches the EXIT-chart analysis. It also performs closely to its idealised counterpart that assumes perfect decoding at the relays when an EXIT-chart based optimal algorithm is applied for selecting relays

    Irregular Convolution and Unity-Rate Coded Network-Coding for Cooperative Multi-User Communications

    Near-Capacity Multi-user Network-coding (NCMN) based systems operating in multiple modes and relying on an amalgamated Irregular Convolutional Code, a Unity-Rate Code and M-ary Phase-Shift Keying are proposed. We consider a multiuser network in which the users cooperatively transmit their independent information to a common base station (BS). Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) charts were used for designing the proposed NCMN scheme for the sake of approaching the Discrete-input Continuous-output Memoryless Channel’s (DCMC) capacity. The NCMN systems are capable of simultaneously exploiting the advantages of all the new modes we designed for our system and those of the conventional mode. The design principles presented in this contribution can be extended to a vast range of NCMN based systems using arbitrary channel coding schemes

    A comprehensive risk assessment model based on a fuzzy synthetic evaluation approach for green building projects: the case of Vietnam

    Full text link
    Purpose – Risks in implementing green building (GB) projects have emerged as a significant obstacle for GB development, especially in developing countries. In recent years, both academics and construction practitioners have paid considerable attention to the risks associated with GB. In this study, the authors aimed to create a comprehensive risk assessment model that considers three crucial risk features: impact level, probability of occurrence and risk manageability. Design/methodology/approach – In the research, authors adopted the mean scoring and fuzzy synthetic evaluation method to assess GB risks. Based on expert assessments, this model can determine the significance of risk factors, risk groups and overall risk. Notably, this research applied the proposed model to assess GB risks in Vietnam by surveying 58 GB experienced professionals. Findings – The findings revealed that GB risks are relatively high in Vietnam, implying that risk management is essential for GB projects to succeed. The results also showed that “lack of experience of GB designers” is the most critical factor, and “human resources risk in the design phase” is the top crucial risk group. Originality/value – This study contributes a novel and practical model to help practitioners assess risks in GB projects. In addition, this research offers detailed GB risk evaluations in Vietnam and thus could be a valuable reference for construction practitioners and future studies

    Voltage Multistability and Pulse Emergency Control for Distribution System With Power Flow Reversal

    Full text link
    High levels of penetration of distributed generation and aggressive reactive power compensation may result in the reversal of power flows in future distribution grids. The voltage stability of these operating conditions may be very different from the more traditional power consumption regime. This paper focuses on the demonstration of multistability phenomenon in radial distribution systems with reversed power flow where multiple stable equilibria coexist for the given set of parameters. The system may experience transitions between different equilibria after being subjected to disturbances such as short-term losses of distributed generation or transient faults. Convergence to an undesirable equilibrium places the system in an emergency or in extremis state. Traditional emergency control schemes are not capable of restoring the system if it gets entrapped in one of the low voltage equilibria. Moreover, undervoltage load shedding may have a reverse action on the system and can induce voltage collapse. We propose a novel pulse emergency control strategy that restores the system to the normal state without any interruption of power delivery. The results are validated with dynamic simulations of IEEE 13-bus feeder performed with SystemModeler software. The dynamic models can also be used for characterization of the solution branches via a novel approach, so-called the admittance homotopy power flow method
