Abstract

Relay selection plays a very important role in wireless ad hoc networks.

Wepropose a cooperative diversity protocol as simple and easy to understand

with multi-objective cross-layer criterion by considering the condition of

source-to-destination (S-D) linkand employing amplify-and-forward (AF)

relays. The proposed protocol guarantees full diversity based on scalarization

of the two-objective criterion with root mean square (rms) normalizationto

gain fairness. The two objectivesinclude signal-to-noise power ratio (SNR)

and load variance. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol

giveshigher SNR than a single-objective protocol that does not consider the

S-D link conditions. The proposed protocol results in an improvement of 3.03

dB in SNR and is likely to result in cooperative diversity configuration

involving two parallel relays. In addition, the load variance achieved by

applying the proposed algorithmindicates more evenly distributed traffic load.

Keywords:

relay selection, algorithm protocol, full diversity, amplify and

forward, multi-objective criterio, rms, scalarization, SNR, load variance.

Introduction

22396

Nyoman Gunantara

multi-input multi-output (MIMO) [2] systems. Consequently, cooperative diversity can

improve the transmission quality.

To implement cooperative diversity in wireless ad-hoc networks, it needs protocol

and criteria that must be met in communication from source to destination. For

example, the authors in [3] propose a simple protocol of cooperative diversity for

configuration consisting of source-to-destination and source-relay-destination paths.

With this protocol, problems arise when the signal from the source to destination can

not be received well due to bad quality of the radio link so that the direct transmission

fails. In this case, full diversity can not be achieved and the cooperative system

performance degrades. This problem can be mitigated by checking the performance of

the source-to-destination link prior to the cooperative diversity phase, so that the

system can be enhanced to achieve full diversity, which is explored in our paper.

Relay or path selection in cooperative diversity can be done depending on various

criteria. For instance, path selection in cooperative diversity can be done based on SNR

[4] - [7], outage probability [8] - [10], mutual information [11], and symbol error rate

[12]. However, these papersimplement cooperative diversity using single-objective

criterion. It is thought thatpath selection in cooperative diversity needs to consider a

combination of multiple criteria to achieve multiple goals simultaneously. Our paper

proposes a cooperative diversity protocol with cross-layer multi-objective criterion

involving prediction of the performance from the source to the destination in advance

so that the right decision on the configuration taken can be made and full diversity can

be achieved. Multi-objective criterion used areSNRand load variance. The first are

related to the physical layer, while the second is a network layer problem [13].

Path selection in multi-objective can be achieved by using Pareto and scalarization

methods. Based on the computation time, scalarization method takes less time to

perform simulation compared with Pareto method[14]. Therefore, the completion of a

multi-objective criterion in the protocol of cooperative diversity in this research

appliesscalarization method. In thescalarization method, each objective is weighted

and normalized. Normalization with priorityscale tends to separatethe primary objects

and ignore other objects[15]. In this paper, normalization is made to the root mean

square (rms) to provide fairness among theobjectives.

As previously stated, the best path pair in our study is obtained based on a criterion

consisting of twoobjectives, namely SNRand load variance. SNR values obtained with

proposed algorithm is found to provide improvement of 3.03 dB over the

single-objective protocol proposed in [3]. Our algorithm also guarantees full diversity of the

proposed protocol.

Section II of this paper describes the formulation of the three-objective problem.

Section III describes model of the ad-hoc network and protocols used in our study.

Section IV describes theparameters and simulation results and closed with conclusions

in SectionV.

two criteria and scalarization for the combinationis explained below. There are five

possible outcomes of path selection, namely D only, R-D only, D and R-D,

S-R1-D and S-R2-D, and no connection. The possibilities of path selection results can be

seen in Fig. 1.

SNR

If transmission rate is desired, channel capacity of 2 is required for packets sent by

S to be successfully received in D. The requirement can be expressed as follows [16]:

2

≤

(1 +

,

)

(1)

Equation (1) can also be written as follows:

> 2

If this condition is not fulfilled then the direct path of S-D is deemed not eligible,

or

(3)

The success of communication with S-D and S-R-D configuration with AF relay

channel capacity is determined by the value of the spectral efficiency

. Channel

capacity of the AF method can be calculated by the following equation:

Based on equation (4), the channel capacity can reach the optimal value if the

value

_,

is also optimal. It can be concluded that to reach a value

_,

, it requiresthe

selected relay to provide the optimal value. The best relay is given by the optimal

value . Mathematically, it can be written as [3]:

∗

=

arg max

, ,

, ,

(5)

where the sign *denotes the optimal value.

Load Variance

Load variance isthe variance of traffic loads of all nodes, which isinversely

proportional to the load balance or fairness [17].In ad-hoc wireless networks, load

balance is very important because some nodes may have a greater chance to become a

relay. In a path pair where node is used as a relay thenthe traffic load of node

becomes:

=

+

(6)

where

and

arethe own traffic load of and the traffic cominginto node ,

respectively.

After the load of each node is known then the load variance caused by the selection

of a pair ofdiversity pathscan be reviewed for all nodes in the path pair. The load

variance value can be determined by following equation [17]

=

(7)

Scalarization

Inscalarization method, all criteria are combined into a scalar form by givinga weight

to each objective. Minimizedfunction is given a negative sign, while the maximized

function is given a positive sign. In this research,every objectiveis normalized to their

own rms value to gain fairness.

Scalarization of the above twoobjectivesbecomes:

So, theoptimalrelaycan be calculatedby the following equation:

(9)

System Model and Protocol

In this study, each node can act as a source (S), relay (R), and destination (D).

Properties of the system model are:

•

Each node uses a single antenna with omni-directional radiation.

•

AF relaysare used in cooperative communication.

•

The packet delivery is half-duplex.

•

Transmission isdivided into direct transmission phase and one or more phases

of cooperative transmission.

•

Source and relayshave equal transmit power

P

.

•

Distance power law is used for the path loss model with influence of

lognormal shadowing [14].

•

Thenoise is AWGN with

variance.

We assume that in this protocol each node alternately broadcasts information on

the received powersfrom other nodes and traffic load so that everyone knowsthe

received powers of each other in the form of a table. Communication protocol is

startedby the source broadcasting initiation packets. Decisions on the quality of S-D is

determined by equation (2),whereas the best relay selection is done through equation

(5). The protocol is the result of one of three possibilities, namely diversity, no

diversity, and no connection. The cooperative diversity protocol can be explained by

the flowchart in Fig. 2.

Pseudocodefor the flow chart can be divided into three parts: the mainprogram, the

one dual-hop procedure, and the two dual-hop procedure. Starting withthe packet

broadcast by S,the S-D performance is checked. If

,then the one

then the two dual-hop procedure

Numerical Results

Simulation parameters are adopted from the application of WLAN in ad-hoc wireless

networks as shown in Table I. The ad-hoc network model used consists of one source,

one destination, and multiple other nodes that are possible relays. All nodes are in an

open space with an area of 100m

×

100m. S broadcasts a data packet to D assisted by

other nodes. In this study, 30 nodes are defined each having the same opportunity tobe

a relay.

To simulate load variance calculation, it is assumed that besides the source sending

data to the destination there are five other nodes simultaneously transmit data to

theirrespectivedestinations. As a result, there are some nodes having a better chance to

be a relay because they have relatively lower traffic load. In our example, five pairs of

source and destination nodes use paths 4-12-31, 7-11-25, 10-19-23, 16-12-2, and

25-20-6. It is assumed that the sources, namely, node 4, 7, 10, 16, and 25 transmit data

respectively at 3, 8, 7, 2, and 11Mbps. While the other nodes are assumed to have

random load of 2, 7, 12, or 17.

the single-objective protocolas in the paper [3], which does not consider the condition

of SD,is 27.53 dB, whereas the SNR for S-R-D configuration only is 25.03dB, and that

Fig. 5. From Fig. 5, it can be explained that the SNR value from the proposed method

(marked "MO" in the figure) ranges from 21.01 to 47.05 dB.For comparison, the SNR

for the single objective protocol not considering to the S-D condition (marked "SO")

ranges from 18.09 to 40 dB.The median difference of SNR between the

proposedmulti-objective and the single-objective algorithm is 3.03 dB.For the S-R-D

path onlyconfiguration, the SNR ranges from10 to 34.01 dB.While for S-D path only,

the SNR ranges from-10 to 23.06 dB with the probability of SNR value above 0 dB

being 88.0 %.These results suggest that the proposed protocol produces the largest

SNR values among the others.

Best Path Pairs

The CDF of load variance from the simulation is given in Fig. 6. The load variance

from the use of the proposed protocol ranges from39.23 to 51.17 Mbps

. As a

comparison, load variancesare also shown for the single-objective protocol and for the

S-D path only configuration. Load variance produced by the single-objective

rangesbetween 38.52and 51.74 Mbps

2

. While the value of load variance for the case

of S-D path only is fixeddue to the absence of changes in the traffic load on each

node. Fig. 6 shows the value of load variance with the proposed protocol issmaller

than that with the single-objective. It is because the traffic load resulting from the

proposed protocol is more evenlydistributed with the application of multi-objective

criterion than the traffic load of the nodes with a single objective protocol.

Conclusions

Based on the analysis of simulation results of the proposed cooperative diversity

protocol, several conclusions can be drawn. Firstly, the selection of the best path pair

can be done based on a multi-objective cross-layercriterion. In our case, there are two

objectives involved, namely, SNRand load variance by applying multi-objective

optimization with scalarization. Secondly, the SNR with the proposed algorithm that

considers the condition of the direct S-D link is higher than that resulting from the

single-objective algorithm that does not consider the condition of S-D. In this case,

SNR improvement of 3.03 dB is obtained. Lastly, load variance that results from the

proposed protocol is smaller than that resulting from the single objective protocol.
