Symbol error rate analysis for M-QAM modulated physical-layer network coding with phase errors
Recent theoretical studies of physical-layer network coding (PNC) show much interest on high-level modulation, such as M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM), and most related works are based on the assumption of phase synchrony. The possible presence of synchronization error and channel estimation error highlight the demand of analyzing the symbol error rate (SER) performance of PNC under different phase errors. Assuming synchronization and a general constellation mapping method, which maps the superposed signal into a set of M coded symbols, in this paper, we analytically derive the SER for M-QAM modulated PNC under different phase errors. We obtain an approximation of SER for general M-QAM modulations, as well as exact SER for quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), i.e. 4-QAM. Afterwards, theoretical results are verified by Monte Carlo simulations. The results in this paper can be used as benchmarks for designing practical systems supporting PNC. © 2012 IEEE
Joint Compute and Forward for the Two Way Relay Channel with Spatially Coupled LDPC Codes
We consider the design and analysis of coding schemes for the binary input
two way relay channel with erasure noise. We are particularly interested in
reliable physical layer network coding in which the relay performs perfect
error correction prior to forwarding messages. The best known achievable rates
for this problem can be achieved through either decode and forward or compute
and forward relaying. We consider a decoding paradigm called joint compute and
forward which we numerically show can achieve the best of these rates with a
single encoder and decoder. This is accomplished by deriving the exact
performance of a message passing decoder based on joint compute and forward for
spatially coupled LDPC ensembles.Comment: This paper was submitted to IEEE Global Communications Conference
