Distributed dynamic resource allocation for cooperative cognitive radio networks with multi-antenna relay selection

A cognitive radio scenario is considered where the signals transmitted by a secondary user (SU) are relayed by multi-antenna relays using an amplify-and-forward cooperation protocol. In this paper, the optimal power allocation and beamforming scheme …

Resource allocation for multicarrier cooperative cognitive radio networks with imperfect channel state information

Outage probability minimization for cooperative cognitive radio with best-relay selection under an average interference power constraint

In this contribution, a cognitive radio scenario is considered, where a secondary user (SU) cooperative network is allowed to transmit concurrently with a primary user (PU), provided that the resulting average interference power at the PU receiver is …

Distributed dynamic resource allocation for cooperative cognitive radio

We consider a cognitive radio (CR) scenario where the signals transmitted by a secondary user are relayed using an amplify-and-forward cooperation protocol. A distributed strategy for power allocation is derived that minimizes the outage probability …

A full-diversity joint network-channel code construction for cooperative communications

Cooperative communications is a well known technique to yield transmit diversity in a multi-user environment. Network coding can increase the spectral efficiency in networks. These two techniques can be combined to achieve a double diversity order …

Low-density parity-check coding for block fading relay channels

We study low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with iterative decoding on block fading (BF) Relay Channels. We use coded cooperation, a variant of decode-and-forward with a smaller outage probability than the latter. We derive a new code structure by …

Low-density parity-check coding for slow fading relay channels

We study low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes with iterative decoding on block fading (BF) Relay Channels. We use coded cooperation, a variant of decode-and-forward with a smaller outage probability than the latter. We derive a new code structure by …
