Abstract

This paper consider a Drone Assisted Network Coded Cooperation (DA-NCC) scenario for Line of Sight (LoS) channel environments. For analysing the performance of DA-NCC, Decode-and-Forward (DF) protocol is used at the drone and Selection Combining (SC) is performed at the destination node. An analytical closed-form formulation of the outage probability is devised and proven through simulations to assess network performance of the DA-NCC system. In order to have a better understanding of deterministic networks, a discussion on capacity and a comparison of alternative rectangular designs for deterministic networks are also presented. Insightful results on the relation among drone height, DNC-noise and network geometry may play an important role during the performance analysis of the DA-NCC system. Using closed-form expressions of performance measures, system designers can quickly examine the effects of various parameters on the DA-NCC network’s performance.

Notes

  1. DNC-noise and Variance of DNC-noise can also be written in terms of SNR as

    $$\begin{aligned} {\mathbb {N}}_i=\xi _{D_i}- \sum \limits _{j=1, j\ne i}^{N}\left( \sqrt{\frac{\Gamma _{RD_i}}{\Gamma _{S_jD_i}}}\right) \xi _{D_i}. \end{aligned}$$
    $$\begin{aligned} \sigma _{{\mathbb {N}}_i}^2=\sigma _{D_i}^2 \underbrace{\left[ 1+ \sum \limits _{j=1, j\ne i}^{N}\left( \frac{{\Gamma }_{RD_i}}{{\Gamma }_{S_jD_i}}\right) \right] }_{A}. \end{aligned}$$

  2. Deterministic networks: Networks in which placement of nodes is in some given manner and not in a random fashion at all.

  3. Symmetrical networks: Distance among ground nodes are same and distance between drone to ground nodes are same.
