It could enhance the network throughput and save the energy consumption, and is mainly based on the single transmission rate. However, with the development of wireless network and equipment, wireless local network MAC protocols have already supported the multi-rate transmission. This paper investigates the optimal relay selection problem based on network coding. Firstly, the problem is formulated as an optimization problem. Moreover, a relay algorithm based on network coding is proposed and the transmission time gain of our algorithm over the traditional relay algorithm is analyzed. Lastly, we compare total transmission time and the energy consumption of our proposed algorithm, Network Coding with Relay Assistance (NCRA), Transmission Request (TR), and the Direct Transmission (DT) without relay algorithm by adopting IEEE 802.11b. The simulation results demonstrate that our algorithm that improves the coding opportunity by the cooperation of the relay nodes leads to the transmission time decrease of up to 17% over the traditional relay algorithms.展开更多

All the proposed schemes such as the DLT and Soliton-Like Rateless Coding （SLRC） have attempted to maintain Robust Soliton Distribution （RSD） or Soliton-Like Distribution （SLD） for the output data at the relay. This rzsult in some source symbols to be discarded, thereby degrading the throughput. In this paper, we have proposed a novel method called the Full DLT （FDLT） coding scheme to be applied in the InterPlaNetary （IPN） Internet scenario comprising two sources and one relay The aim of the proposed scheme is to fully utilise the source symbols so as to reduce the overheads and improve energy efficiencies at the sources while maintaining low overhead at the relay. In addition, almost no buffer is needed in the proposed scheme so the relay can have limited storage space, and the proposed scheme is resilient to the churn rates of the nodes. The simulation results have shown that the proposed scheme outperforms the aforementioned schemes with respect to source overheads and total overhead in addition to preserving the benefits of NC and LT codes.展开更多

The optimal subcarrier, bit and power alloca- tion problems based on discrete adaptive modula- tion and coding scheme have been previously formulated for relay-enhanced networks, and have been reformulated into and solved by integer programming in optimization theory. If the system still has a surplus of subcarriers after resource allocation, we carry out Band- width Exchange （BE） to enable more subcar- riers to participate in transmission to save en- ergy. In addition, as the relay selection scheme is closely linked with heuristic energy saving resource allocation, a relay selection scheme is proposed. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm consumes less energy when transmitting the same number of bits than greedy energy saving schemes, although its spectrum efficiency is worse.展开更多

We apply the dual decomposition method to the problem, and obtain a TP selection subproblem for each SVC video adaptation and a resource allocation subproblem of Joint Subcarrier, Relay and Power Allocation (JSRPA). A second level of dual decomposition is used to divide the JSRPA problem into independent subcarrier subproblems. The proposed Crosslayer Trade-off Optimization (CTO) algorithm is sub-distributed with significantly low complexity. A performance evaluation with typical SVC video traces demonstrates that the proposed algorithm is able to converge and efficiently achieve the optimal trade-off between the video quality and energy consumption at the MSs for uplink SVC streaming.展开更多

A new frequency allocation scheme is proposed to increase cell capacity and improve signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) of users located at cell edges. By dividing cell into different parts and configuring each of these parts with a unique reuse factor, this scheme improves spectral utilization efficiency and avoids inter-cell interference effectively. Optimal combinations of reuse factors and locations of relay nodes are also addressed and investigated. Computer simulation results show that, by employing the proposed scheme, maximum cell capacity gains of about 50%, 35% and 30% can be achieved in comparison with conventional cellular network scheme, traditional reuse partitioning scheme and reuse-adjacent-cell-frequencies scheme, respectively. Moreover, since in the proposed scheme resources are dynamically allocated among relay nodes, more benefits can be obtained in comparison with fixed resource allocation schemes under non-uniform traffic distribution.展开更多

Two source-destination pairs and the relay share a single common chaunel, and the relay assists both sources in communicating the messages to their respective destinations. This paper mainly focuses on the ＂amplify-and-forward＂ （AF） relaying strategy for relay, and derives upper bound and lower bound on achievable sum rate accordingly. Next, the application of the above model in cognitive radio （CR） networks is considered. The schemes that can ensure the coexistence of the secondary user with the primary user are proposed, in the sense that there is no rate degradation for the primary user due to sharing of the channel. Further, the throughput of the secondary user in different communication scenarios is investigated.展开更多
