Multicast Constellation Design Using Combination Network Coding

Abstract:

It is significant to develop a method to realize efficient broadcast transmission in wireless networks. Network coding is a promising technique in this scenario. In this paper, a multicast constellation design scheme using combination network coding (CNC) is proposed. This scheme employs CNC to guide the constellation design, under multi-objective such as multicast throughput and coverage performance. Through the analysis and simulation results, the design result can completely meet the design requirement.
