Performance Analysis of Adaptive Physical Layer Network Coding for Wireless Two-way Relaying
The analysis of modulation schemes for the physical layer network-coded two
way relaying scenario is presented which employs two phases: Multiple access
(MA) phase and Broadcast (BC) phase. It was shown by Koike-Akino et. al. that
adaptively changing the network coding map used at the relay according to the
channel conditions greatly reduces the impact of multiple access interference
which occurs at the relay during the MA phase. Depending on the signal set used
at the end nodes, deep fades occur for a finite number of channel fade states
referred as the singular fade states. The singular fade states fall into the
following two classes: The ones which are caused due to channel outage and
whose harmful effect cannot be mitigated by adaptive network coding are
referred as the \textit{non-removable singular fade states}. The ones which
occur due to the choice of the signal set and whose harmful effects can be
removed by a proper choice of the adaptive network coding map are referred as
the \textit{removable} singular fade states. In this paper, we derive an upper
bound on the average end-to-end Symbol Error Rate (SER), with and without
adaptive network coding at the relay, for a Rician fading scenario. It is shown
that without adaptive network coding, at high Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), the
contribution to the end-to-end SER comes from the following error events which
fall as : the error events associated with the removable
singular fade states, the error events associated with the non-removable
singular fade states and the error event during the BC phase. In contrast, for
the adaptive network coding scheme, the error events associated with the
removable singular fade states contributing to the average end-to-end SER fall
as and as a result the adaptive network coding scheme
provides a coding gain over the case when adaptive network coding is not used.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
Constellation Mapping for Physical-Layer Network Coding with M-QAM Modulation
The denoise-and-forward (DNF) method of physical-layer network coding (PNC)
is a promising approach for wireless relaying networks. In this paper, we
consider DNF-based PNC with M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) and
propose a mapping scheme that maps the superposed M-QAM signal to coded
symbols. The mapping scheme supports both square and non-square M-QAM
modulations, with various original constellation mappings (e.g. binary-coded or
Gray-coded). Subsequently, we evaluate the symbol error rate and bit error rate
(BER) of M-QAM modulated PNC that uses the proposed mapping scheme. Afterwards,
as an application, a rate adaptation scheme for the DNF method of PNC is
proposed. Simulation results show that the rate-adaptive PNC is advantageous in
various scenarios.Comment: Final version at IEEE GLOBECOM 201
Space-Time Coded Spatial Modulated Physical Layer Network Coding for Two-Way Relaying
Using the spatial modulation approach, where only one transmit antenna is
active at a time, we propose two transmission schemes for two-way relay channel
using physical layer network coding with space time coding using Coordinate
Interleaved Orthogonal Designs (CIOD's). It is shown that using two
uncorrelated transmit antennas at the nodes, but using only one RF transmit
chain and space-time coding across these antennas can give a better performance
without using any extra resources and without increasing the hardware
implementation cost and complexity. In the first transmission scheme, two
antennas are used only at the relay, Adaptive Network Coding (ANC) is employed
at the relay and the relay transmits a CIOD Space Time Block Code (STBC). This
gives a better performance compared to an existing ANC scheme for two-way relay
channel which uses one antenna each at all the three nodes. It is shown that
for this scheme at high SNR the average end-to-end symbol error probability
(SEP) is upper bounded by twice the SEP of a point-to-point fading channel. In
the second transmission scheme, two transmit antennas are used at all the three
nodes, CIOD STBC's are transmitted in multiple access and broadcast phases.
This scheme provides a diversity order of two for the average end-to-end SEP
with an increased decoding complexity of for an arbitrary
signal set and for square QAM signal set.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
Maximum Euclidean distance network coded modulation for asymmetric decode-and-forward two-way relaying
Network coding (NC) compresses two traffic flows with the aid of low-complexity algebraic operations, hence holds the potential of significantly improving both the efficiency of wireless two-way relaying, where each receiver is collocated with a transmitter and hence has prior knowledge of the message intended for the distant receiver. In this contribution, network coded modulation (NCM) is proposed for jointly performing NC and modulation. As in classic coded modulation, the Euclidean distance between the symbols is maximised, hence the symbol error probability is minimised. Specifically, the authors first propose set-partitioning-based NCM as an universal concept which can be combined with arbitrary constellations. Then the authors conceive practical phase-shift keying/quadrature amplitude modulation (PSK/QAM) NCM schemes, referred to as network coded PSK/QAM, based on modulo addition of the normalised phase/amplitude. To achieve a spatial diversity gain at a low complexity, a NC oriented maximum ratio combining scheme is proposed for combining the network coded signal and the original signal of the source. An adaptive NCM is also proposed to maximise the throughput while guaranteeing a target bit error probability (BEP). Both theoretical performance analysis and simulations demonstrate that the proposed NCM can achieve at least 3 dB signal-to-noise ratio gain and two times diversity gain
Pairwise Check Decoding for LDPC Coded Two-Way Relay Block Fading Channels
Partial decoding has the potential to achieve a larger capacity region than
full decoding in two-way relay (TWR) channels. Existing partial decoding
realizations are however designed for Gaussian channels and with a static
physical layer network coding (PLNC). In this paper, we propose a new solution
for joint network coding and channel decoding at the relay, called pairwise
check decoding (PCD), for low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded TWR system over
block fading channels. The main idea is to form a check relationship table
(check-relation-tab) for the superimposed LDPC coded packet pair in the
multiple access (MA) phase in conjunction with an adaptive PLNC mapping in the
broadcast (BC) phase. Using PCD, we then present a partial decoding method,
two-stage closest-neighbor clustering with PCD (TS-CNC-PCD), with the aim of
minimizing the worst pairwise error probability. Moreover, we propose the
minimum correlation optimization (MCO) for selecting the better
check-relation-tabs. Simulation results confirm that the proposed TS-CNC-PCD
offers a sizable gain over the conventional XOR with belief propagation (BP) in
fading channels.Comment: to appear in IEEE Trans. on Communications, 201
User-Antenna Selection for Physical-Layer Network Coding based on Euclidean Distance
In this paper, we present the error performance analysis of a multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) physical-layer network coding (PNC) system with two
different user-antenna selection (AS) schemes in asymmetric channel conditions.
For the first antenna selection scheme (AS1), where the user-antenna is
selected in order to maximize the overall channel gain between the user and the
relay, we give an explicit analytical proof that for binary modulations, the
system achieves full diversity order of in the
multiple-access (MA) phase, where , and denote the number of
antennas at user , user and relay respectively. We present a
detailed investigation of the diversity order for the MIMO-PNC system with AS1
in the MA phase for any modulation order. A tight closed-form upper bound on
the average SER is also derived for the special case when , which is
valid for any modulation order. We show that in this case the system fails to
achieve transmit diversity in the MA phase, as the system diversity order drops
to irrespective of the number of transmit antennas at the user nodes.
Additionally, we propose a Euclidean distance (ED) based user-antenna selection
scheme (AS2) which outperforms the first scheme in terms of error performance.
Moreover, by deriving upper and lower bounds on the diversity order for the
MIMO-PNC system with AS2, we show that this system enjoys both transmit and
receive diversity, achieving full diversity order of in the MA phase for any modulation order. Monte Carlo simulations are
provided which confirm the correctness of the derived analytical results.Comment: IEEE Transactions on Communications. arXiv admin note: text overlap
