Each transmission block consists of a training phase and a data transmission phase. The relay node employs the amplify-and-forward protocol during all transmissions. We focus on the relay signaling design and investigate the benefit of allowing for different relaying power during the training phase and the data transmission phase. Specifically, the relaying energy allocation between the two phases is optimized for maximizing the average received signal-to-noise ratio at the destination node. We study this optimization problem for both single-antenna relay and multi-antenna relay and derive a simple closed-form relaying energy allocation strategy that achieves near-optimal performance. This closed-form strategy depends only on the length of the data transmission phase but not on other system parameters such as the relaying energy budget, the number of antennas at the relay, and the distances between the source, relay and destination nodes.","PeriodicalId":320391,"journal":{"name":"2012 Australian Communications Theory Workshop (AusCTW)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116348745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose a novel distributed and decentralized stochastic routing algorithm to minimize the average packet transmission delay of the network. We also provide an analytical expression for the average packet transmission delay for a circular network using a discrete time Markov chain model and we discuss the performance improvement with respect to random walking methods. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed routing method significantly improves the average packet transmission delay when compared to existing methods and provides a near optimal solution.","PeriodicalId":320391,"journal":{"name":"2012 Australian Communications Theory Workshop (AusCTW)","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124940206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hybrid FSO-RF communication is an attractive alternate to handle the issues encountered in individual channels. We propose a novel flexible adaptive hybrid FSO-RF (FAHOR) communication system for reliable transmission under varying weather conditions. We develop adaptive modulation and power allocation rules for maximum FAHOR mutual information (MI) which gives significant improvement of 2.5 dBs over non-adaptive schemes.","PeriodicalId":320391,"journal":{"name":"2012 Australian Communications Theory Workshop (AusCTW)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124463810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
