摘要:

研究了在有向链路的分层无线中继网络中,采用模拟网络编码实现单播通信的最大速率问题。执行模拟网络编码的中继节点缩放并转发在其输入处接收的信号。最近,这个问题已经被认为是在两个假设下:(A)每个中继节点缩放其接收到的信号,其发射功率约束的上限,(B)在特定的子集的网络中的中继节点在高信噪比制度。我们确定假设(A)通常会导致次优的端到端速率。我们还刻画了模拟网络编码在对称分层网络类中的性能,而无需假设(B)。这项工作的主要贡献是一个引理,指出一个全局最优的一组缩放因子的分层中继网络中的节点,最大化的端到端的速率可以逐层计算。具体地,层中的节点的速率最优缩放因子集合是使下一层中的节点的总速率最大化的缩放因子集合。这种关键的洞察力使我们能够表征网络场景中的模拟网络编码性能,这些网络场景超出了使用现有方法可以分析的网络场景。我们说明了这一点,通过计算模拟网络编码在一个特定的分层网络中,在各种通信场景下实现的最大速率。

英文摘要:

The problem of maximum rate achievable with analog network coding for a unicast communication over a layered wireless relay network with directed links is considered. A relay node performing analog network coding scales and forwards the signals received at its input. Recently this problem has been considered under two assumptions: (A) each relay node scales its received signal to the upper bound of its transmit power constraint, (B) the relay nodes in specific subsets of the network operate in the high-SNR regime. We establish that assumption (A), in general, leads to suboptimal end-to-end rate. We also characterize the performance of analog network coding in class of symmetric layered networks without assumption (B). The key contribution of this work is a lemma that states that a globally optimal set of scaling factors for the nodes in a layered relay network that maximizes the end-to-end rate can be computed layer-by-layer. Specifically, a rate-optimal set of scaling factors for the nodes in a layer is the one that maximizes the sum-rate of the nodes in the next layer. This critical insight allows us to characterize analog network coding performance in network scenarios beyond those that can be analyzed using the existing approaches. We illustrate this by computing the maximum rate achievable with analog network coding in one particular layered network, in various communication scenarios.
