A General Analog Network Coding for Wireless Systems with Fading and Noisy Channels


الملخص بالإنكليزية

It has been recently brought into spotlight that through the exploitation of network coding concepts at physical-layer, the interference property of the wireless media can be proven to be a blessing in disguise. Nonetheless, most of the previous studies on this subject have either held unrealistic assumptions about the network properties, thus making them basically theoretical, or have otherwise been limited to fairly simple network topologies. We, on the other hand, believe to have devised a novel scheme, called Real Amplitude Scaling (RAS), that relaxes the aforementioned restrictions, and works with a wider range of network topologies and in circumstances that are closer to practice, for instance in lack of symbol-level synchronization and in the presence of noise, channel distortion and severe interference from other sources. The simulation results confirmed the superior performance of the proposed method in low SNRs, as well as the high SNR limits, where the effect of quantization error in the digital techniques becomes comparable to the channel.
