AbstractβThe main contribution of this paper is the deriva-tion of an optimal diagonal amplifying relay matrix. This matrixis for a noncooperative distributed wireless relay network in ajamming environment. Minimum mean square error (MMSE)criterion was used in this study. Jamming location was alsostudied in this paper. Results show that diversity of a systemcan be degraded or even get lost depending on jamming location.A single-input multiple-output (SIMO) system strategy was im-plemented, using one-source, M-destination and N-relay nodes.System performance for the new derived matrix was evaluatedusing bit error rate (BER). Also, performance comparisonswith/without jamming were a focus in our study.

I. INTRODUCTION
The amplify-and-forward (AF) relay protocol in wirelesssensor networks forwards an amplified version of its receivedsignals from a source node to a destination node. Comparedto decode-and-forward and compress-and-forward protocolsin [1], [2], the AF relay protocol has lower complexitybecause there is no required signal processing at the relaynodes in wireless networks for decoding and compressing. Inpractice, because of wireless communication features duringsymbol transmission, all communication nodes in wirelessnetworks are exposed under the threat of jamming signals.Therefore, partial-band and broadband noise jamming (BNJ)are considered in [3], [4], but for non-relay systems. Inaddition, the authors in [5], [6] considered the cooperativeAF single-input multiple-output (SIMO) system under no-jamming environment.
Noncooperative distributed minimum mean square error(MMSE)-based AF relay schemes under both jamming envi-ronment and node geometry in wireless networks with/withoutpower constraint for single-input single-output with π relaynodes was studied in [7], [8], respectively. BNJ and channeluncertainty for noncooperative wireless relay networks underthe received power constraint was also studied in [9]. Effects

of node geometry on noncooperative distributed SIMO wire-less relay networks was proposed in [10]. However, non-cooperative SIMO wireless relay networks under jammingenvironment was not studied in [10]. Therefore, this paperstudies the noncooperative distributed AF SIMO wirelessrelay system in a jamming environment using the MMSEcriteria. In particular, a BNJ for a jamming environment isused due to the fact a partial-band noise jamming affects morenegatively on bit error rate (BER) than a BNJ. For perfor-mance comparisons, no-jamming environment was simulated.In addition, this current paper presents how to determinethe optimal amplifying relay matrix for the noncooperativedistributed AF SIMO system under a jamming environment.Furthermore, the optimal amplifying relay matrix is selectedto be diagonal due to noncooperation relay protocol design.
The rest of this current paper is organized into four sec-tions. Section II describes the system model and symboltransmission strategy. Section III presents a noncooperativedistributed MMSE wireless relay scheme based on the AFstrategy. Section IV provides the simulation results. Finally,Section V concludes the paper.

II. SYSTEM MODEL
Figure 1 shows a wireless relay network with π non-cooperative distributed relay nodes between a source nodeand π destination nodes (π β₯ π). As depicted in Fig. 1,there are two stages for data transmission. The source nodetransmits a signal symbol π in Stage I, while relay nodesretransmit their received signals to destination nodes in StageII, applying the optimal diagonal amplifying relay matrixfor relay noncooperation. It is assumed that all relay nodescannot communicate their received signal information fromthe source node to each other.
The BNJ is defined as a complex Gaussian noise signalwith zero-mean and power ππ½ = π2
π½ . In other words, theBNJ column vector jπ β CπΓ1, π = 1, 2, 3, is a zero-meancomplex additive white Gaussian noise vector with covariancematrix ππ½I
π. It is assumed that π2
π½ = π2ππ, π = 1, 2, 3. As
shown in Fig. 1, the BNJ is added to the symbol flow inall node links. All relay nodes receive the transmitted signalwith the jamming signal in Stage I. They retransmit a scaledversion of the jammed signal to the destination node in ajamming environment. Then the destination nodes receivesthe jammed signal from all relay nodes.
It is assumed that all relay nodes have accurate informationof their local channel coefficients, both from the source nodeto the relay nodes and from the relay nodes to the destinationnodes. Let hπ β CπΓ1 denote the perfect channel coefficientcomplex column vector from the source node to the relaynodes as
hπ = [βπ ,1, βπ ,2, β β β , βπ ,π ]π (1)
where βπ ,π, π = 1, β β β , π , is the π-th entry of hπ , representingthe channel coefficient from the source node to the π-th relaynode. The received signal complex column vector r β CπΓ1
at the relay nodes under a BNJ environment is written as
r = hπ π + vπ + j1 (2)
where vπ β CπΓ1 is a zero-mean complex additive whiteGaussian noise column vector with covariance matrix π2
π£π Iπ .
Each channel βπ ,π is assumed to be independent identicallydistributed with a zero-mean circular complex Gaussian ofunit variance and quasi-static. Channel coefficients are fixedduring symbol data transmission. The amplified signal com-plex column vector x β CπΓ1 at the relay nodes under a BNJenvironment is written as
x = F1r + j2 (3)
where F1 β CπΓπ is called a diagonal amplifying relaymatrix at the relay nodes to enhance performance at thedestination nodes. Let Hπ¦ β CπΓπ denote the perfectchannel coefficient complex matrix from the relay nodes tothe destination nodes as
Hπ¦ = [hπ¦,1,hπ¦,2, β β β , hπ¦,π ]π (4)
where hπ¦,π = [βπ¦,π,1, β β β , βπ¦,π,π ], π = 1, β β β ,π , is arow vector, representing the channel coefficient from all relaynodes to the π-th destination node. Each channel βπ¦,π,π isalso assumed to be independent identically distributed with azero-mean circular complex Gaussian of unit variance andquasi-static Rayleigh fading. The received complex signalcolumn vector y β CπΓ1 at the destination nodes under aBNJ environment can be represented as
y = Hπ¦x + vπ¦ + j3 (5)
where vπ¦ β CπΓ1 is a zero-mean complex additive whiteGaussian noise column vector with covariance π2
π£π¦Iπ. Sub-
stituting (2) and (3) into (5), the received complex signalcolumn vector y β CπΓ1 at the destination nodes under aBNJ environment can be rewritten as
y = Hπ¦F1hπ π + Hπ¦F1vπ + Hπ¦F1j1 + Hπ¦j2 + vπ¦ + j3. (6)
In the next section, the optimal diagonal amplifying relaymatrix F1 will be determined by using the MMSE criteriaunder a BNJ environment.
III. NONCOOPERATIVE DISTRIBUTED MMSE WIRELESS
RELAY SCHEME
An optimal diagonal amplifying relay matrix under a BNJenvironment is designed in this section. It is based on thenoncooperative distributed MMSE relay scheme in wirelessnetworks. The purpose is to minimize mean square errorbetween the signal component Hπ¦x of the received signal atthe destination nodes and the transmitted signal π in (5) canbe found from

From (8), the other three special cases for the SIMOwireless network system under a BNJ environment can bederived. Namely, a BNJ can be added only at the relayinputs in the source-relay links, only at the relay outputsnear the relay nodes in the relay-destination links, and onlynear the destination node. Therefore, the optimal diagonalrelay amplifying matrices Fβ

IV. SIMULATION RESULTS
Monte-Carlo simulations were performed to evaluate BERperformance for Node Geometry. Noncooperative distributedAF SIMO system which uses MMSE relay schemes in a BNJjamming environment. In all simulations setup was as follow-ing one source node, π =2, 3 noncooperative distributed relaynodes, and π = 2 destination nodes. The perfect channelcoefficient row vector hπ and matrix Hπ¦ were generated fromindependent Gaussian random variables with zero mean andunity variance. All nodes have only one antenna and have thesame noise power, i.e., π2
π£π =π2
π£π¦. The transmitted signal at the
source node is also modulated by 4-ary quadrature amplitudemodulation (4QAM).
A BNJ has one-side power spectral density ππ½ , equal to5%, 10%, and 20% of the bit energy and generated as additivewhite Gaussian noise. Variances of jamming signal are chosento satisfy 10 log10(π
2π /π
2π½)=13 dB, 10 dB, and 7 dB, where
π2π = πΈπ and π2
π½ = ππ½ . For comparison, simulation resultsunder no-jamming environment are also included, i.e., π2
π½ =0.

Figure 2 shows BER performance of π = 2, 3 and π = 2
network in a BNJ environment for all node links. Due to theeffect of the BNJ environment for all node links in entirenetwork, a worst BER is observed, and compared to the otherthree special cases. In addition, it is observed that the BNJcreates significantly negative effects on BER performancein wireless relay networks. In other words, increasing the
188213
variances of the BNJ, worse BER can be observed. It is alsofound that BER enhances with the increase in the number ofrelay nodes.

Fig. 4. BER performance of π = 2 noncooperative distributed relay andπ = 2 destination networks under a BNJ environment at the relay outputsnear the relay nodes in the relay-destination links.
Figure 3 shows BER performance of π = 2 and π = 2
in a BNJ environment at the relay inputs in the source-relaylinks. Compared to other two special cases, it is observed thatthe BNJ did not have significant impact on BER performance.
Figure 4 provides BER performance of π = 2 and π = 2
network in a BNJ environment at the relay outputs near therelay nodes in the relay-destination links. While, Fig. 5 showsBER performance of π = 2 and π = 2 network in a BNJenvironment near the destination nodes. It is observed that theperformance degraded significantly if most BNJ location is atthe relay outputs near the relay nodes in the relay-destinationlinks.
V. CONCLUSION
This paper studied noncooperative distributed AF SIMO re-lay schemes in a BNJ environment at different locations. Theoptimal diagonal amplifying relay matrices based on MMSEcriterion were derived. Under a no-jamming environment,BER performance improves as the number of relay nodesincreases. While in a BNJ environment, it is observed thatincreasing the jamming power can cause a loss of diversityorder. In addition, it is observed that the most harmfuljamming location is at the relay outputs, near the relay nodesin the relay-destination links. Finally, it is also observed thatthe optimal diagonal amplifying relay matrix is independent ofthe jamming if a BNJ jamming is located at the relay outputsand near the destination node.
