Abstract
Up to now, most of the researches about physical-layer network coding (PNC) are based on symmetric two-way relay channels. In this paper, we mainly study PNC in asymmetric two-way relay Rayleigh fading channels and classify the systems into five asymmetric cases. So as to describe the asymmetric cases, we introduce the asymmetric factors. We simulate the bit error rate (BER) performance of PNC in both symmetric and asymmetric cases with asymmetric factors fixed. After that we analyze the BER performance of PNC with one of the asymmetric factors is variable when two channels are relatively unreliable. Finally, we give the conditions that one kind of asymmetric scenario transforming to other kind. Also, in the matter of anti-noise performance, uplink asymmetry has worst performance and the phase asymmetry-downlink is the best case.
