Summary :

This paper proposes overloaded multiple input multiple output (MIMO) bi-directional communication with physical layer network coding (PLNC) to enhance the transmission speed in heterogeneous wireless multihop networks where the number of antennas on the relay is less than that on the terminals. The proposed overloaded MIMO communication system applies precoding and relay filtering to reduce computational complexity in spite of the transmission speed. An eigenvector-based filter is proposed for the relay filter. Furthermore, we propose a technique to select the best filter among candidates eigenvector-based filters. The performance of the proposed overloaded MIMO bi-directional communication is evaluated by computer simulation in a heterogeneous wireless 2-hop network. The proposed filter selection technique attains a gain of about 1.5dB at the BER of 10-5 in a 2-hop network where 2 antennas and 4 antennas are placed on the relay and the terminal, respectively. This paper shows that 6 stream spatial multiplexing is made possible in the system with 2 antennas on the relay.
