In this paper, we propose a new efficient Product-Decode-Forward (PDF) scheme for two-way relay networks, where two source nodes communicate with each other with the help of relay nodes. In the proposed scheme, the relay node only performs decoding once on the product of received signals from two sources and broadcasts to source nodes. The scheme can improve the performance of the two-way relay networks and has less decoding complexity compared with DF scheme. Theoretical and simulation results show that the proposed PDF scheme can provide better (bit error rate) BER performance and achieve more channel capacity compared with Product-Forward (PF) scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
