Abstract

As a promising technique, cooperative relaying has attracted more and more attention from academia and industry recently. In this paper, we investigate the scheme of Decode-and-Forward Two-way Relaying (DF-TWR) relying on a cross-layer design, which combines adaptive Network-coded Modulation (NCM) at the physical layer and truncated Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) at the data link layer. The relay node utilizes Network- Coded Quadrature amplitude modulation (NC-QAM) where NCM imposes only a modest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) degradation on the single-link QAM performance. Additionally, we derive the achievable spectral efficiency in closed-form for transmission over Rayleigh fading channels. It is shown that this combination of adaptive NC-QAM and truncated ARQ substantially improves the system's throughput compared to the schemes operating without ARQ.
