Near-Maximum-Likelihood Decoding for Convolutionally Coded Physical-Layer Network Coding Over the Full-Duplex Two-Way Relay Channel.

The full duplex (FD) two-way relay channel (TWRC) has recently been shown to be a feasible way to improve the network throughput in practical communications. In this correspondence, we consider the convolutionally coded physical-layer network coding over the TWRC in which two sources work in the FD mode and there exists a direct link between them. Every source receives two packets, one packet from...
