Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): In wireless systems, cooperative diversity and relaying can exploit the benefit of spatial diversity and combat heavy pathloss without requiring multiple antennas at the receivers and transmitters.
For practical networks, the use of relays is motivated by the need for simple, inexpensive terminals with limited power and a single antenna.

The motivation for this thesis is to study and propose practical relaying protocols that can reduce the power consumption and ameliorate the performance with minimum additional complexity.
Based on a dual-hop communication model, we exploit two upper bounds for the end-to-end SNR.
These bounds further inspire us to propose new relaying protocols for wireless communication systems.
We examine the case of a single user and relay under Rayleigh and Nakagami-m fading conditions.
Based on the general upper bound, a new protocol is introduced: Clipped gain.
This protocol makes it possible to save the transmit power by stopping the transmission when the quality of the first hop leads to an outage.

We consider also user selection and user scheduling for dual-hop communication with multiple users and relays over a Rayleigh fading channel.
We introduce new scheduling protocols based on one-bit feedback information.
To the best of our knowledge, most of the available literature uses full channel state information to perform user selection and user scheduling.
Interestingly, our protocols based on one bit feedback greatly improve the system performance while adding less additional complexity.

To carry out rigorous comparison, close-form expressions are derived and analytical results used to assess the outage probability performance.
