Abstract
Network coded modulation (NCM) holds the promise of significantly improving the efficiency of two-way wireless relaying. In this contribution, we propose near instantaneously adaptive variable-rate, variable-power QAM/PSK for NC-aided decode-and-forward two-way relaying (DF-TWR) to maximize the average throughput. The proposed scheme is optimized subject to both average-power and bit-error-ratio (BER) constraints. Based on the BER bounds, we investigate a discrete-rate adaptation scheme, relying on a pair of solutions proposed for maximizing the spectral efficiency of the network. We then derive a closed-form solution based power adaptation policy for a continuous-rate scheme and quantify the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) loss imposed by NC-QAM. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed discrete adaptive NC-QAM/PSK schemes are capable of attaining a higher spectral efficiency than their fixed-power counterparts.
