Multicast-Oriented Constellation Design Based on Combination Network Coding

In this paper, we have introduced a multicast constellation design scheme using combination network coding. This scheme employs combination network coding (CNC) to guide the constellation design, under multi-objective such as multicast throughput and coverage performance. The constellation design procedure is given in two stages, topology and constellation. The constellation design result under this procedure shows that the multicast constellation can meet the throughput and coverage performance requirement.
