Abstract

Based on the study of the principles and the development of the network coding, the survey analyzes its applicable techniques in the physical-layer of the wireless communication systems and focuses on the physical-layer network coding (PNC) and the joint design of the channel coding and the network coding techniques. On one hand, the survey firstly introduces the mechanism of the PNC and then summarizes the current results and the future directions of the following classified hot topics: the coding and decoding design, the synchronization problem, the combination with other transmission techniques, the PNC capacity and the application scenario extensions of the PNC. On the other hand, the survey reviews on the joint design techniques of the channel coding and the network coding in accordance with different starting points which are inducted as basing on the type of the channel coding, modifying the mode of handling the soft information, utilizing of the PNC and considering various system scenarios.
