Research on Physical Layer Network Coding Technology in Wireless Network

Abstract

Recently, Network coding has been proved to be the breakthrough in the research field of network and communication. It is an effective technique to increase network capacity and improve the robustness and reliability of networks. In this paper, there is application of network coding in wireless network. In order to improve the reliability and the throughput of wireless network, we do extensive research on network coding incorporated with the multicast communication in WLAN, the routing optimization in multi-hop network and the retransmission efficiency for wireless broadcast system, and focus on the protocol design and the theory for the performance analysis. On the basis of introduction on basic idea and method of network coding, we proposes a new physical layer network coding scheme for two-way relay channel model based on a belief propagation approach. Then we make performance analysis through numerical simulation.
