Abstract
In this letter, we consider the two-way relay channel (TWRC) employing network coding. In TWRC, a conventional relay first decodes symbols from each user and combines (network coding) them using, for example, the XOR (eXclusive OR) operation. However, it may be suboptimal for the relay to use this concatenated approach, when the channels are noisy and the cost criterion is source distortion. Instead, we propose a new relay scheme that generates network coded symbols by performing symbol estimation and network coding operation jointly, in order to minimize the source distortion at the users.
