Abstract

The cooperative communication system, involving multiple nodes that assist each other in data transmission, has been studied. In this system, the source sends information not only directly to the destination but also through an intermediate relay node. The relay receives the signal, which is then forwarded to the destination, resulting in the reception of two copies of the signal. Combining these signals results in enhanced strength and reliability. This configuration addresses signal fading issues commonly encountered in wireless communication due to reflection, scattering, and interference. The Hybrid Relay Protocol (HRP), combining Decode-and-Forward (DF) and Amplify-and-Forward (AF) methods, was implemented to improve relay efficiency and adaptability. The relay’s protocol choice depends on instantaneous Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR); if the SNR exceeds a threshold, DF is applied by decoding and forwarding a clean signal, otherwise, AF is used by amplifying and forwarding the received signal without decoding. Relay selection is optimized based on channel gains using a harmonic mean metric. MATLAB simulations demonstrated that the HRS system, with relay distances ranging from 4 to 12 meters, achieves significantly improved Bit Error Rate (BER) performance, for instance, obtaining BER as low as 0.00012 at 4 meters and ?23.5 dBm transmit power. Additionally, maximal ratio combining was employed at the destination, enhancing signal reliability. The results confirm the effectiveness of the HRS system for real-time applications on Software-Defined Radio (SDR) platforms, with potential for improving wireless network robustness under diverse channel conditions.

Abstract

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) allows real-time monitoring of aircraft positions, but Software Defined Radio (SDR) devices such as the RTL-SDR have sensitivity limitations that can affect signal reception quality, especially at long distances or under less than ideal  conditions. This study designs an ADS-B receiver system based on the RTL-SDR equipped with a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) to amplify weak signals without adding significant noise. The method includes receiver circuit design, antenna installation, LNA integration, and signal reception testing at various distances. Reception data with and without the LNA are compared based on the maximum distance and the number of messages received. The results show that the LNA increases the maximum reception distance from 309.95 km to 417.90 km and improves signal stability at medium and short distances. This system is able to capture more messages, including from aircraft under less than  ideal  propagation  conditions. The combination of the RTL-SDR and LNA has proven to be effective and economical as an alternative to expensive device-based flight monitoring.
