Analog Network Coding for Multi-User Spread-Spectrum Communication Systems
This work presents another look at an analog network coding scheme for
multi-user spread-spectrum communication systems. Our proposed system combines
coding and cooperation between a relay and users to boost the throughput and to
exploit interference. To this end, each pair of users, and
, that communicate with each other via a relay
shares the same spreading code. The relay has two roles, it synchronizes
network transmissions and it broadcasts the combined signals received from
users. From user 's point of view, the signal is decoded, and
then, the data transmitted by user is recovered by subtracting
user 's own data. We derive the analytical performance of this
system for an additive white Gaussian noise channel with the presence of
multi-user interference, and we confirm its accuracy by simulation.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, to appear at IEEE WCNC'1
