Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a physical layer network coding method and apparatus. A relay node determines reliabilities of symbols of nodes, based on a signal received from the plurality of nodes, and generates a transmission signal that maintains reliabilities of symbols that have high reliabilities and excludes components of symbols that have low reliabilities. The relay node generates the transmission signal that reduces an expected power of error, based on the received signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A communication method of a relay node, the method comprising: receiving a signal including a first symbol through a k th symbol that are transmitted from a first node through a k th node, respectively; calculating, based on a predetermined criterion, a reliability of the first symbol through the k th symbol, respectively; selecting one or more symbols from among the first through the k th symbol that have a reliability that is greater than or equal…
