Wireless networks have received considerable attention recently due to the high user demand for wireless services and the emergence of new applications. This th

"Physical-layer network coding (PNC) is an attractive approach to increasing the network throughput by exploiting the broadcast nature of wireless channels. Thi

The concept of physical-layer network coding (PNC) was proposed in 2006 for application in wireless networks. Since then it has developed into a subfield of com

We consider a two-way relay channel in which two transmitters want to exchange information through a central relay. The relay observes a superposition of the tr

This SpringerBrief presents channel estimation strategies for the physical later network coding (PLNC) systems. Along with a review of PLNC architectures, this
