Summary :

This paper proposes multi-input physical layer network coding (multi-input PLNC) for high speed wireless communication in two-dimensional wireless multihop networks. In the proposed PLNC, all the terminals send their packets simultaneously for the neighboring relays to maximize the network throughput in the first slot, and all the relays also do the same to the neighboring terminals in the second slot. Those simultaneous signal transmissions cause multiple signals to be received at the relays and the terminals. Signal reception in the multi-input PLNC uses multichannel filtering to mitigate the difficulties caused by the multiple signal reception, which enables the two-input PLNC to be applied. In addition, a non-linear precoding is proposed to reduce the computational complexity of the signal detection at the relays and the terminals. The proposed multi-input PLNC makes all the terminals exchange their packets with the neighboring terminals in only two time slots. The performance of the proposed multi-input PLNC is confirmed by computer simulation. The proposed multi-input physical layer network coding achieves much higher network throughput than conventional techniques in a two-dimensional multihop wireless network with 7 terminals. The proposed multi-input physical layer network coding attains superior transmission performance in wireless hexagonal multihop networks, as long as more than 6 antennas are placed on the terminals and the relays.
