A transmission method , combining both the bit error diversity and joint network-channel coding, was proposed for multiple-user multiple-hop multiple-relay networks. In the poposed method, an interleaver was designed for the bit error diversity and a novel protocol was devised for random linear network coding. The proposed method as well as other two methods—Method I without channel code and protection and Method II only with protection, was analyzed by deriving performance expressions in terms of packet error rate (PER) and throughput. Moreover, simulations further prove the superiority of the proposed method. Numerical results show that the proposed method gains an improvement in PER compared with Method I & II and keeps highest throughput within certain range of SNR.

The multiple access relay channel with network coding has the potential to achieve diversity and improve coverage of wireless networks. Its network coding scheme provides an extra redundancy that can be used at the receiver to improve the performance of the cooperating users. This paper shows that the combination of channel coding and network coding, in the multiple access relay channel, can be seen as a product code with rows formed by the code-words of the individual channel codes of the users and columns formed by the network coding code-words. This new representation allows the use of any decoding algorithm of product codes at the receiver to decode the information data of the cooperating users. This decoding process is a complete joint channel-network decoding algorithm as it sees the combination of the two coding schemes as a single coding scheme. It also gives the possibility to use network coding schemes more powerful than conventional XOR-based network coding. The obtained results show that the proposed product-based network coding structure can improve the performance of the multiple-access relay channel without reducing its efficiency and allow a very flexible cooperation between the involved users.
