Amplify-and-forward with Network coding in two kinds of Rayleigh fading channels

In this paper, we develop an amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperation scheme with Network coding (NC) for wireless communication. We derive a maximum likelihood (ML) detector and a low complexity detector. The simulation results show that the proposed AF-NC cooperation scheme providing superior performance than previous AF scheme in two kinds of Rayleigh fading channel.
