Abstract

Joint Channel Coding and Physical-Layer Network Coding for Multi-Source Wireless Networks

In a multi-source network,network codingtechnique can avoid the transmission of redundant information and significantly boost the network throughput. To fully explore the benefits of network coding in a wireless network, the key challenge is to efficiently recover thenetwork-coded messageat an intermediate node. In this talk, we will give a brief introduction of a new technique that can efficiently tackle this challenge. This new technique is referred toas joint channel coding and physical-layer network coding(CPNC). We first use a simple example to illustrate how CPNC works, in the context of a Gaussian two-way relay channel. Then, we show some result on the CPNC from an information theoretic perspective. After that, we show some results on our developed practical CPNC schemes. Our results show that the CPNC technique allows each user to transmit at its maximum information rate, without concerning the interference from the other user. If time allows, we will briefly discuss the implementation of CPNC technique in a MIMO environment, e.g., a MIMO two-way relay channel. We will give some hints on the near-optimal communication strategy for the MIMO two-way relay channel.
