Abstract

This paper investigates the energy gain offered by implementing network coding over wireless communication links. In this system, a source and a relay transmit each others' messages to a common destination using decode-and-forward strategies. The network coding algorithm is applied to a wireless network which supports user cooperation between three nodes. Based on the relay's different choice of transmitting message, cooperative transmit protocols is classified into static and adaptive protocols. In this work, the relationship between performance of two types of cooperative transmission protocols and faction of the total energy allocated in the first time slot of cooperative scheme is investigated. The results show that by allocating more energy in the first time slot can make better performance. In static and adaptive schemes, both the repetition-coding-based protocols and network-coding-based protocols lead to better system performance, at a lower outage probability.
