Title
Multi-pair two-way relaying systems with physical layer network coding.
Abstract
Physical layer network coding (PNC) significantly improves the throughput of the two-way relay channel (TWRC). However, most of current work on PNC just focuses on one pair users, and there are limit work on multi-pair PNC, in which the main bottleneck on system performance is the interference caused by the remaining communicating pairs. In this paper, we consider a scenario where multiple pairs communicate with each other through one relay node. For a purpose of comparison, we present the analytical capacities of the multi-pair version of the existing TWRC schemes in closed forms. Considering more practical issues such as the direction distribution of incident signals, we propose a spatial multi-pair physical layer network coding scheme. The novelty includes: in the multiple access phase, the log likelihood ratio combination scheme is proposed, which is robust in bad communication conditions; in the broadcast phase, two adaptive group broadcasting schemes are proposed, which can efficiently overcome the near interference problem. Simulation results validate the superiority of the proposed algorithms.
