Physical-Layer Network Coding in Wireless Multi Access Relay Channel

Network Coding recognized as an efficient solution on improving network throughput is a hot spot in the area of wireless network. However, interference affects quality of communication seriously, which is a harmful factor in wireless fading environment. One protocol named physical-layer network coding not only increase network throughput but also takes advantage of interference between signals. How to separate the mixed signal resulting from the broadcast nature of wireless channel is an area with little discussion. This paper firstly proposes a PNC decoding solution for mixed signal separation in Multi Access Relay Channel(MARC) model. Then we use our estimation result about the channel coefficients to give a discussion on the capacity theorem of MARC model using PNC. In conclusion, the simulation result tells that the proposed method ARD PNC performs well in PNC with higher bandwidth utility and lower error rate. At the same time, the capacity using PNC is also improved comparing to traditional direct transmission.
