Motivation

The network coding technique is an effective approach that can essentially improve network throughput by increasing the bandwidth efficiency of the intermediate nodes in networks.

Multiple access relay channel (MARC) can be used for the cooperative uplink from more than two mobile stations to one base station with the help of a relay, where diversity can be achieved by using network coding [1].

Motivation Non-orthogonal MARC attracts research attention due to its higher

efficiency. The joint network-channel distributed coding design problem for the non-orthogonal MARC has been addressed in [2-3].

In [2], only a simple relay network with two sources, one relay and one destination is considered.

In [3], a distributed serially concatenated coding scheme for a general multi-source wireless relay network is proposed, but the BPSK modulation and one relay are considered.

Motivation

Complex field network coding (CFNC) scheme is a promising technique to realize the high throughput by using the linear constellation precoding over complex field at every node with the help of the maximum likelihood detection of the mixing symbols [4].

Motivation

In the paper, a coded CFNC (C-CFNC) scheme by jointly considering the error control coding and the CFNC scheme is proposed to enhance the achieved network performance.

An MAP-based multiuser decoder is utilized to enable an iterative multiuser decoding structure between the soft-decision de-multiplexing and the soft-decision error control decoding at both the relays and the destination.

6

Fully-interleaved Rayleigh fading (fast fading)

Link-adaptive regeneration (LAR) relay strategy is proposed in [4].

Completely-known channel state information is required at destination;

The more storage and higher computational cost are required.

Decode-and-forward (DF) relay strategy is assumed in [3].

The error propagation will decrease the system performance.

7

Motivation

In the paper, the selective decode-and-forward (SDF) strategy is employed to counteract the reliability degradation due to the inaccurate recovery at relays and to reduce decoding complexity in the destination with some increase in the communication overhead.

In the SDF relay strategy, only active relays which recover successfully at least one source message will transmit the regenerated CFNC signals to the destination.

In the paper, the error control coding is utilized in the CFNC scheme to obtain the enhanced coded CFNC scheme with the SDF strategy for multiuser cooperative communications which improves the network performance;

The iterative multiuser decoder structure for the coded CFNC scheme is presented.

From simulation results, the coded CFNC scheme is able to significantly improve the reliability of the multiuser message delivery in adverse cooperative communication environment;

The SDF relay seems an attractive strategy when the relays are close to the source to avoid the error propagation in the DF relay strategy.
