物理层网络编码中的同步分析

Synchronization Analysis in Physical Layer Network Coding

Shengli Zhang, Soung-Chang Liew, Hui Wang

摘要:

物理层网络编码(PNC)利用电磁波的可加性,在物理层上应用网络编码算法。通过PNC,可以消除无线网络中干扰的破坏性影响,显著提高网络容量。本文解决了PNC中的一个关键问题:发送节点之间的同步。我们首先研究不完美同步的影响(即,有限同步误差)。结果表明,与QPSK调制,PNC仍然产生显着更高的容量比直接的网络编码时,有同步错误。值得注意的是,即使在根本不执行同步的极端情况下也是如此。超越3节点网络,我们提出并研究了一个一般的链式网络中的PNC同步方案。最后通过数值仿真验证了PNC对同步误差的鲁棒性。特别地,对于互信息性能,在没有时间同步的情况下存在大约0.5dB的损失,并且在没有相位同步的情况下存在至多2dB的损失。

英文摘要:

Physical-layer Network Coding (PNC) makes use of the additive nature of the electromagnetic (EM) waves to apply network coding arithmetic at the physical layer. With PNC,the destructive effect of interference in wireless networks is eliminated and the capacity of networks can be boosted significantly. This paper addresses a key outstanding issue in PNC: synchronization among transmitting nodes. We first investigate the impact of imperfect synchronization (i.e., finite synchronization errors) in a 3-node network. It is shown that with QPSK modulation, PNC still yields significantly higher capacity than straightforward network coding when there are synchronization errors. Significantly, this remains to be so even in the extreme case when synchronization is not performed at all. Moving beyond a 3-node network, we propose and investigate a synchronization scheme for PNC in a general chain network. At last, numerical simulation verifies that PNC is robust to synchronization errors. In particular, for the mutual information performance, there is about 0.5dB loss without time synchronization and there is at most 2dB loss without phase synchronization.
