Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Physical-layer network coding (PNC) channel decoding at the relay is of key importance for good performance in PNC systems. However, PNC channel decoders can have prohibitive computation complexity. Low complexity non-iterative PNC channel decoders are desired in practice. For such PNC decoders, decoding performance may degrade significantly when there is a relative phase offset between the simultaneous signals of multiple nodes received at the relay, particularly when bit-likelihood-based decoding is adopted. In this paper, we thoroughly investigate and numerically quantify the impact of relative phase offset on decoding performance. To maintain good decoding performance under relative phase offset, we introduce and experimentally evaluate symbol-likelihood-based decoding ( in contrast to bit-likelihood-based decoding) for PNC systems. Our experimental results show that symbol-likelihood-based decoding improves the packet throughput over bit-likelihood-based decoding by 100% to 400% at SNR of 15 dBs. Moreover, we study the computational complexity under both these decoding methods. We find that a reduced-complexity decoder with symbol-likelihood-based decoding provides the best performancecomplexity tradeoff for practical PNC systems.
